So, you've found yourself in need of a few good, binge-worthy TV shows to get you through a few days. Maybe you've come down with some kind of illness (hello, winter flu!), or maybe this whole presidential business has got you feeling like laying in bed for a few days, pretending you don't exist. Whatever your reason is, look no further. Here's a list of eleven shows guaranteed make you feel better, or at least entertain you for awhile.

1. Parks And Rec

Because watching the amazing Leslie Knope try to make the world a better place is sure to warm your heart.

2. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Ex-Mole Woman or not, Kimmy will get you through.

3. Gravity Falls

Settle down to watch the shenanigans of twins Mabel and Dipper Pines, with quality humor and lovable characters that will make you forget your strep throat.

4. Twin Peaks

Get dragged in to the wild small-town drama of Twin Peaks, Washington, and take some time for yourself (and maybe some damn fine cherry pie).

5. Steven Universe

There is nothing more inspiring than the misadventures of a well-meaning and kind hearted human boy.

6. Community

A bunch of lovable weirdos in the same study group? This might as well be a documentary about your life.

7. Arrested Development

I bet you were wondering where all those "sassy rich woman" gifs were originally from.

8. Crazy Ex Girlfriend

Part musical, part sitcom, all relatable.

9. The Office

Because duh.

10. 30 Rock

There's a little bit of Liz Lemon in all of us.

11. Portlandia

The wacky cast of characters and lighthearted humor of Portlandia will keep you giggling until your cold medicine kicks in.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
