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.

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

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
