10 Less Talked About Shows You Need To Binge On Netflix Right Now

1. Arrested Development

One of the funniest, most clever shows I have ever watched. You're rewarded if you stick with it -- there are subtle nuances and jokes that are weaved into every season. The cast is perfect and a young awkward Michael Cera is the best Michael Cera. Thank me later.

2. Nurse Jackie

So real, so tragic, so good. You'll laugh and cry, as you root for anti-hero Jackie as she struggles with addiction. Trust me on this one, it's too good to pass up.

3. United States of Tara

One of Showtimes greatest shows followed Tara and her multiple personalities as her and her family deal with the tumultuous life that comes with them. While the show premise packs a punch, it's anything but a serious show and is absolutely a must watch.

4. The Fall

This one is a Netflix Original, so you know it's good. The entire show revolves around a Criminal Minds-esque murderer and the detective dead-set on catching him. If you're into crime dramas, this is a MUST for you. Plus, Jamie Dornan a.k.a. Christian Grey is the bad guy, and it features his natural Irish accent. Droooool.

5. Sense8

One of the strangest, most intriguing shows I have ever watched. A sci-fi drama that centers around 8 people who's birthdays and consciousnesses are all interconnected. The diversity of the group is also astonishing. I don't quite know how to explain this one because figuring out what's going on is half the fun of watching it. Check it out.

6. The Great British Baking Show

If you watch the Food Network at all, you have to check this one out. The contestants are sweeter than their insanely talented desserts, and their accents will make you insanely happy. It's like Chopped or Cupcake Wars on steroids.

7. Weeds

Much less talked about than it used to be, but this show doesn't disappoint. Mary-Louise Parker is absolutely hilarious as Nancy Botwin, a California suburb mom turned drug dealer after her husband's death. It's as funny as it sounds.

8. Private Practice

Unless you're an OG Shondaland fan you might not have seen this Grey's Anatomy spin-off. The show, which features Derek's ex-wife Addison as well as his younger sister, later on, gives a good insight into some people's least favorite character. We're all so busy rooting for MerDer in Grey's we miss out on the fact that Addison is actually a badass.

9. Lie to Me

Another crime drama. This one keeps you interested because of the 'super-power' the main character has. Slightly unbelievable, but also easy to get sucked into. He can tell when anyone is lying, which means the good guys usually win.

10. Black Mirror

Think of it as today's X-Files. Each episode revolves around its own story and features a new and twisted technology based thrill. I don't want to give any examples because that's the whole point, but if that sounds like something even remotely interesting... you gotta check it out.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
