11 Must-Watch Shows On Netflix Right Now
Huffington Post

As summer winds down to it's end-- I'm sure you're running out of shows to binge watch in your free time. Here are 11 shows I highly recommend you watch while you can, and they are all available on Netflix!

1. "Orange is the New Black"

A Netflix original series, with four seasons available and more to come. This series is all about a female prison and it's inmates and guards- giving humanizing to back stories to these often dehumanized criminals.

2. "Sons of Anarchy"

Seven seasons of biker drama- written and directed by Kurt Sutter and you might even be surprised to see him play a role in the show. Make sure to stay on your toes- because this show is full of twists and turns, and one hell of a surprising ending.

3. "Dexter"

Eight seasons of conflict- this show is all about the double life of Micheal C. Hall the "Avenging Angel". A blood spatter analyst with an average role in society by day and by night a murderer of criminals. You can help but sympathize with him- while feeling conflicted at the same time.

4. "Lost"

Six seasons about a plane crash survivors trying to make it on a deserted island. This show will keep you guessing as the survivors discovery several mysterious things about the island they have landed on.

5. "Gilmore Girls"

Seven seasons available on Netflix- but this chick flick, drama, comedy is coming back to television with a few more episodes to wrap up the show. This story about a mother daughter duo living a small town will make you laugh, cry, and unable to stop watching.

6. "Parks and Recreation"

Seven seasons of a hilarious comedy- often said to be very similar to "The Office". This series is all about the town hall employee's in the Parks and Recreation department of Pawnee Indiana.

7. "Grey's Anatomy"

Eleven seasons available on Netflix- with many more to come, this show about a hospital staff is definitely going to pull at your heart strings. I highly recommend when watching this medical drama you keep a box of tissues near by, and stay unattached to any of the characters.

8. "Friends"

This ten season show is a hilarious and heartfelt sitcom all about six friends and their adventures. It will definitely keep you laughing, and even compar to your many friend combinations!

9. "Freaks and Geeks"

Freaks and Geeks is good for a short watch as it is only one season. This is your typical high school drama show all about the separation and differences from the "Freaks" and "Geeks". This show is also where many coming of age actors and actresses got their start!

10. "Shameless"

Four season available on Netflix with more to come, all about a dysfunctional family that lives in poverty. Try keeping up with action packed, drama filled family of six- I bet you can't!

11. "Breaking Bad"

Five seasons about this teacher who is diagnosed with cancer. He finds a way to try and pay all his medical bills by cooking and selling meth with an old student. This is a roller coaster of a series filled with drama- watch as this normal teacher becomes an up and coming drug lord.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
