10 Must Watch Shows During Winter Break
Netflix

In This Article:

Now that the semester is over, you are probably wondering what your purpose of life is beside writing essays and constantly studying. Breaks give you time for some rest and relaxation, and what better way to relax than cuddling with some hot cocoa and some Netflix. Here is a list compiled of shows that must make it into your binge watching sessions, with the website in which you can find it. Enjoy!

Downton Abbey

If you have a refined style, this show is the one for you. It adds so many combinations of drama, romance, and British accents. This story line will have you hitting continue watching for days. Beware the need to speak in a British accent after watching five episodes in a row.

Pitch

This show is a home run (pun intended). It is aimed at both men and woman of any age. This is a story of the first female Major League Baseball player, with the drama that comes with the pressures of fame and stardom. The show is still on air, so that gives you enough time to get caught up with all ten episodes before is comes back for its spring season.

The Crown

This show is for the history buff. "The Crown" is the story of a young Queen Elizabeth II. It shows that pain of losing her father and the responsibility that comes with ruling a nation. The first season is already out with ten episodes, so you can watch the first season.

Gilmore Girls

I haven’t even fully watched this show to know that it is worthy of being on this list. When you get home from break, your mother is probably going to want to spend time with you like mine does. So this show is a perfect way to bond with your mother in a special way.

New Girl

I have not watched a show so fast in my life. The cast of this show is amazing, and Zoey Deschanel is so funny! There are so many catchphrases you will pick up from this show. If you want a quirky, light-hearted show that has fast episodes then this show is the one for you.

The Office

This show is a little lengthy season wise, but you won’t even notice as you are constantly clicking next episode. The cast is phenomenal and this will give you inside jokes to last a lifetime.

Parks and Recreation

This show is sort of like the office, but with a chubby Chris Pratt. This show will have you laughing for days, and finding the need every day to “Treat Yo Self.”

Glee (Netflix)

For the music lover, this show will be a perfect nostalgic trip. This isn’t your average musical with people randomly breaking out into song, but a show that has a plot and has you emotionally connected to this characters and singing along with them.

How I Met Your Mother

If you love a good story you will love this. The entire show is one great story of how a man met the mother of his children, hence the title. The show flashbacks to a single man trying to find the love of his life with the help of his four friends.

Friends (Netflix)

Possible one of the best comedies of the 90s, "Friends" is a rite of passage for the binge watcher. The show is long, but the hilarious misadventures of six friends and their adult lives make the show worth watching.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester.

Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
