If this genre, then this drama
I used to think I would dislike the genre of drama. I don’t like drama, and I’m not dramatic. It’s a logical assumption, I thought, but I sure was wrong. I’m thankful to say that college made me wiser. I studied English and soon learned there’s no story or plot without drama. Drama is the conflict that drives a story, and when it comes to movies and shows, dramas are one of the best genres. They hold the key to entertainment with their continuous tension and captive a wide audience with their inclusion of other genres. There are romance dramas, sci-fi dramas, comedy dramas, et cetera. If all the other genres were agencies or small businesses, drama would be the parent company. Everyone can find a show for them in drama. So, to make things easier for you, here are my top picks for different types of genres in drama.

Ophiuchus
Most of my life I considered myself a Sagittarius. Born on December 10th, I love an adventure, a well-placed joke, and deep discussions just as one could expect from the sign. However, there were some characteristics that didn’t really match how I am. Sagittarius tends to be lackadaisical, bored with details and serious matters. They also don’t like clingy people and are difficult to pin down into a committed relationship. These traits have never matched me. I found myself in a predicament were I liked the idea of astrology, but I couldn’t fully support who they said I should be.

Finding Freedom
I fidgeted with the shackles clasped around my ankles. My skin burned as the metal rubbed against my infected lesions which caused me to suck in a quick breath of air between clenched teeth. I groaned as I stood up off the dirt-encrusted, concrete floor of my cell and hobbled over to the leak in the cell’s ceiling where water trickled down in steady, persistent drops. The cool water alleviated my wounded ankles as it dribbled down onto my skin. In the dim light, a young girl watched me between the gaps of the metal bars. Her nappy hair clung to her head in mats and grime layered her beautiful almond skin. I felt sorrow in my heart as I gazed back into her sunken eyes. She was so young, around ten.

The Birth of Bitcoin
Satoshi clicked between the listing of a train from Japan and a train from England. While he preferred the black and red colored, steam train from England, he could purchase the green, steam train from Japan for cheaper thanks to the lower exchange rate. He stared at his computer screen; his cheek rested on his balled fist as he narrowed his onyx eyes in frustration.

A Playlist for the Day That Must Not be Named
Love can be the worst thing to ever happen to you, and it can be the best. It can tear you open, leaving you bitter and hollow, but it can also make you feel on top of the world. It’s a high-risk, high-reward gamble. Personally, I’ve experienced both ends, which has left me feeling neutral about Valentine’s Day. I’m sort of a serial monogamist. It’s not by choice, well maybe a little, but I find myself falling for the bad boys way more than I should. It’s a problem. I know, but luckily, I’m a romantic at heart and continue to look for the right person no matter how bad past relationships may have been.

Buffalo Chicken Dip, the real MVP
What’s the best food incentive for a Super Bowl party? Buffalo chicken dip! It’s zesty, creamy, and delicious! It’s so good my friends come just for it. They’ve walked into my house, sat down at the dining table, and immediately dug into the dip. If that doesn’t speak volumes, I don’t know what will.

The Big Break
Sleet pummeled the hood of Sasha’s black parka as she sloshed through the dirt-flecked slush layered on the sidewalk. The wind howled in her ears and mixed into the cacophony created by the thwack of sleet and revved engines. The new cars, that spewed exhaust into her lungs as they passed, contrasted with the dilapidated buildings that lined the street. Boards covered the windows and graffiti covered the boards. Litter collected at the edges of the road and blew into the small, yellowed yards of the abandoned homes. Sasha’s emerald eyes darted in analysis of each home as she wondered what lay within. The number of abandoned buildings shocked Sasha when she moved to Cincinnati a year ago, but now they marked the distance of a mile left in her walk to work. Sasha averted her eyes to the sidewalk ahead and raised a hand to protect her dry eyes from the cold air that nipped at her bare skin. Her other hand rubbed the silky tag attached to her coat pocket in circular motions as she tried to ignore her wet, numb toes thanks to the cracks worn into the bottom of her boots.

The Best of NF
With the release of Let You Down, NF became “mainstream.” People labeled themselves a fan after they heard the song on the radio and scoured the internet for his music. Some people listen to his music on the account of popularity, others admire his catchy beats and reminiscence of Eminem, but his dedicated fans, that avidly listened to his music on repeat and waited for every new album released, felt a sense of bitter sweetness as their beloved and tormented NF hit it big. He deserved the recognition, but do they really understand and appreciate his music? Many pre-mainstream followers felt the new fans did not. NF’s fan base connects to his music on a deep level to an extent not seen elsewhere, which has gained him a lot of loyal and protective fans. His music addresses hard topics such as hardships, depression, and love. He acknowledges that life isn’t sunshine and rainbows. Life is hard, and it especially has been for him and his fans that connect with his words.
