11 Netflix Shows To Binge When You're Having A Bad Day
Jens Kreuter

Sometimes, life gets you down and you just need to grab a snack and binge watch some TV shows. As of October 23rd, 2017, here are eleven shows to help you unwind and lift your spirits.

1. Parks and Recreation

This is currently my favorite show, and it's perfect to binge. Everyone I know who has watched Parks and Rec has loved it. With a huge cast of characters, endless jokes, and hilariously awkward situations, there is something for everyone.

2. America's Funniest Home Videos

There are a few different versions of AFV on Netflix, all guaranteed to make you laugh. While the full series isn't on there, it's enough to get you in better spirits.

3. Bill Nye the Science Guy

Relieve your childhood and learn something along the way! No matter how upset you feel, hearing "Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!" will get you hyped.

4. Bob Ross

Like AFV, there are a few different Bob Ross episodes. If relaxation is what you're looking for, he's the perfect man to watch. How can you be sad while listening to his soothing voice and endless optimism?

5. Friends

An absolute classic, it's no wonder that everyone freaked out when Netflix finally decided to add it. It has held up for a reason.

6. Futurama

While this show does have deeper messages, on the surface it's simply a great cartoon that draws you in with colorful animation, unique storylines, and witty pop culture references.

7. Mystery Science Theater 3000

If you're fascinated by older, B (and below) level films, then MST3K is right for you. The films themselves are bad enough to make you laugh, but the commentary from the characters is what makes this so good. Bonus: MST3K: The Return, is great too.

8. New Girl

It's nearly impossible to resist Jess and the boy's charm, and get invested in their strange yet lovable relationships with each other.

9. Ouran High School Host Club

I'm not really into anime, but I love this one. It's absurd, and worth paying attention to the subtitles for.

10. Phineas and Ferb

Another blast from the past. The brother's adventures are still fun to watch today even if it's to make fun of how crazy they are.

11. That 70's Show

Your regular teenage antics with a groovy setting. Easy to get lost in and unwind to.

Hopefully these shows will help you go from this...

to this!

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
