16 Netflix Shows Just Waiting To Be Binged On

Steinar Engeland

There's not much better than laying in bed on a Saturday morning and watching the internet's best gift to humanity: Netflix. This no-commercial, never-ending video service is a wonderous black hole. This seemingly infinite content collection can bring challenges when navigating what to watch next. This is where I come in. In no particular order, here are 16 shows on Netflix that I believe are worthy of binge-watching:

1. Grey's Anatomy

Romance and heartbreak at its finest.

2. Shameless

For the Gallaghers, rules and social norms are meant to be broken. (Warning: this show is not shy on adult content.)

3. Friends

There's a reason this show is a classic.

4. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous.

5. Scandal

Who doesn't love a nice, strong female lead?

6. The Fosters

This show is not afraid to tackle the tough subjects and does so in a classy and addicting way.

7. How to Get Away with Murder

Crime, deceit, and learning the law.

8. One Tree Hill

A typical addicting teen drama with love triangles galore.

9. Ghost Whisperer

Jennifer Love Hewitt communicates with ghosts. How cool is that?

10. Switched at Birth

If you watch this show close enough, you may even learn sign language.

11. Gossip Girl

Hey, Upper East Siders. Once you start, it will be impossible to stop. Do you think you can avoid the addiction?

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

12. Pretty Little Liars

Some argue that this show should have ended after 2 seasons, but I can't stop and I know I'm not alone.

13. Breaking Bad

Cancer and Drugs. A great combination?

14. New Girl

Who's that girl? It's Jess!

15. Jane the Virgin

Jane is pregnant, and a virgin. Watch and figure it out for yourself.

16. Gilmore Girls

Mother and daughter relationship goals.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2028

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a part of any organization undoubtedly comes with the pitfalls of being grouped into negative stereotypes, and sororities are certainly no exception. Here are the top few things, that I find at least, are some of the most irritating misconceptions that find their way into numerous conversations...

8. "The whole philanthropy thing isn't real, right?"

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

Bowling Green State University

thoughtcatalog.com

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…
