Flickr

Netflix is the ultimate life-saver when it comes to hangouts, movie nights in, and your downtime. Its perks? No more tuning into a television network the same time every week and waiting for a new episode. Here are 12 shows most of us would have missed out on if it wasn't for Netflix!

1. Parks and Recreation

Wait. Chris Pratt looked like THAT before?! *bows down for glow up*

2. Gossip Girl

"XOXO, Gossip Girl." *Realizes it's Kristen Bell's voice* *Calls best friends by their first name initial*

3. One Tree Hill

Four words: Nathan and Haley Scott.

4. Friends

A classic.

5. The Great British Baking Show

Why aren't American baking shows this aesthetically pleasing and calm? *tries to learn British accent*

6. Gilmore Girls

*finishes the entire show in a month* (INCLUDING Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life reunion on Netflix)

7. New Girl

What would we do without Schmidt in our life? (*Often thinks of how Zooey Deschanel looks so similar to Katy Perry*).

8. That 70's Show

*Appreciates Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's marriage*

9. The Carrie Diaries

Lets, be honest, Austin Butler is why we kept coming back.

10. Riverdale

Can we all applaud for Cole Sprouse's comeback?

11. Shameless

Probably the most relatable show for everyone.

12. The Office

Intro song never gets old. Biggest emotional rollercoaster EVER. Worth every season. FINALLY understands inside jokes about the show. *re-watches whole show 10 times*

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
