11 Crappy Shows To Watch On Your Crappy Day
US News

Whether it's because you got a bad haircut, you broke up with your boyfriend, or it's been grey outside for so long you're not sure what the sun looks like anymore, we all have days where we'd rather sit in bed binge-watching Netflix than enter into the real world. I've been there, done that, and felt like I may vomit a weird mix of popcorn and ice cream. And it is from these days that I have developed my own personal list of 11 amazingly crappy TV shows that will make you feel better, no matter how bad your day has been.

1. Intervention

Sometimes life feels like it's winning and you can't get control over it. Well, why don't you step back and watch some people, who really don't have control over their lives, take back control. It's heart warming and reminds you that no matter how bad life gets - don't take drugs...like ever. Because then you'll be on intervention instead of watching it, trying to feel better.

2. Extreme Couponing

It's like slightly frightening how excited these people get about 50 cents off toothpaste, so excited in fact that they buy 128 of them so they and their friends can be minty fresh into the next millennia. Try and remind yourself that no matter how much you're freaking out about being unemployed right now, your stress cannot equal theirs at the check out counter, like for real.

3. My Strange Addiction

I have a few bad habits, just like everyone else out there - I curse too much, I pick at hangnails till they bleed. But some of these will just leave you saying, "excuse me what?" I do always hope these people stop for their own health's sake, but it is a decent reminder that at least I'm not slowly destroying my small intestines and am unemployed.

4. Sex Sent Me To The ER

I hope these people learn to eventually laugh at their sexual mishaps and misfortunes, but until that moment, I can sit here safely on my couch going, "Well, at least THAT'S never happened to me!"

5. True Life

True Life is the perfect mix of bad reality TV and heart warming stories. You can watch anything from 'My Parents Are In Porn' to 'I'm Coming Out'. It's really the perfect mix of shows for whatever your exact mood is - whether that be watching people lose weight or watching people dress up like Anime people. They really have it all.

6. Catfish

Another one of my MTV favorites, nothing gets me like people being believing that someone really cannot video chat in 2016. It breaks my heart every time to see someone get so upset when their online lover isn't who they though they were, but the idea that they've gotten closure does tend to ease the wound a bit. That is, until the next episode comes on!

7. Dr. Phil

I love that southern man! And watching his show reminds me that may family may not be perfect, but at least my mom didn't run away with my ex husband. So life may not be so terrible after all.

8. Bar Rescue

Jon Taffer may be a brilliant bar mogul, but he's also an excellent yeller. So not only do you get to watch fancy diagrams about mixed drinks, you also can sit and imagine how it'd sound if he yelled out all your annoyances to your S.O.

9. 1000 Ways To Die


It's never a good idea to speak ill of the dead, but sometimes it's hard not to laugh. This show is pretty awful, but at least for 20 minutes you can sit and think to yourself, "well at least I didn't go out like that."

10. Extreme Cheapskates


I once witnessed a man fish out a cup from the movie theater garbage to give to his girlfriend on this show. Now I hate paying an arm and a leg for popcorn and milk duds as much as the next person, but come on, there are limits. So at least know that your date, as horrible as he may have been, paid for your coke...or at least, you hope he did.

11. Pretty much anything on LMN (Lifetime Movie Network)

The mix of terrible acting, crazy plot lines, and all. the. drama., it's the perfect place to spend your down days. So get a chocolate bar, cozy up on the couch, and prepare to watch the same terrible movie five different ways because it's raining and who feels good on a rainy day?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
