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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
