3 Must-Binge Netflix Original Shows

Grab your pillow and some popcorn; It'll be a long night.

As the school year approaches, our "Netflix and Chill" nights are approaching as well, and you want to be prepared for it. Whether you're cuddling with your bae, having a movie night with friends, or just want to stay in and cuddle up next to your pillow on a rainy day, I'm giving you my top 5 shows that are "Netflix and Chill" worthy.

1. Dear White People.

If you are the type of person who is interested in politics and what's going on in the world today, including racial stereotypes, this is the show for you.

This Netflix Original follows a mixed-race college student, Samantha White, that leads an outcry on campus about a Blackface party that was hosted to rebel against her college radio show.

Not only does this show cover black stereotypes but, it also gives you an insight of what it's like being a mixed kid and having to choose which ethnicity you identify with (which has been a part of my struggle) as well as living on a college campus that ignores cultural problems because they don't want to deal with it.

Every situation and storyline is dealt with humor but, also has their serious moments that are relevant to what is going on in the world today.

2. Jessica Jones.

This one is for all my Marvel fans. I am a huge fan of Marvel and this show has got to be the best Marvel show yet. This (Marvel) Netflix Original follows a Private Investigator, Jessica Jones on her journey to stopping a mind-controlling genius named, Killgrave.

The storyline to this show is unlike any other. As most of us are used to seeing Marvel shows that consist of the protagonist having superpowers, Jessica Jones is your average American girl. Her powers consist of drinking a lot of whiskey.

3. Fuller House.

If you're in the mood to watch a comedy instead of a drama, this would be your pick. If you're as big of a fan as I am of Full House, you'll appreciate it a bit more.

Fuller House is a spin-off based on the ABC Family Show Full House. This Netflix Original follows the Tanner sisters coming together with DJ's best friend, Kimmy, to raise DJ's three sons and Kimmy's daughter under the same roof they were raised in.

Not only does this show bring back memories but, is full of special guest stars, Olsen twins references and fantastic humor. The best part is, Netflix has blessed you with two seasons! Binge on my friends!

I hope some of these shows spark an interest. All have amazing story lines and truth behind certain situations.

May your Netflix and Chill days be cozy and comfy!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
