Bring on the popcorn and tissues.

With the cold weather rolling in, binge-watching Netflix is more acceptable during the day. Looking for a series that will have you laugh, cry and yell at the same time?

Check out one of my top 4 binge-worthy shows:

1. One Tree Hill

I have probably watched this show a solid 3 times through. The teen angst, the un-for-seen drama, the romance — "One Tree Hill" will give you it all. This show focuses around the life of the Scott brothers, two teenagers who have the same father, but completely different lives. Basketball, girls and high school drama consumes the lives of these two athletes. Definitely a must watch!

2. Gossip Girl

xoxo, Gossip Girl. This show will fulfill any desire you had to explore the life of upper east side Manhattan. This drama-filled series features elites, Serena Van Der Woodson, Blair Waldorf and their beaus as they battle the scandal that Gossip Girl leaks on a daily basis. Many want to be in the elite, including Daniel Humphrey, Brooklyn native who manages to score a date with Serena in the beginning of the series. Who is Gossip Girl, you may ask? Well, you'll just have to watch to find out.

3. Gilmore Girls

Where you live, this show follows. It brings the best of all worlds. "Gilmore Girls" sets in Stars Hollow, CT where Rory and Lorelei Gilmore live with all sorts of characters in a quaint town. Lorelei struggles with her elite parents and as a single mother. Rory deals with boyfriend troubles, changing schools and trying to get into her dream college, Harvard. This mother-daughter duo do it best as they make it through their issues with their love and support.

4. Grey's Anatomy

McDreamy, McSteamy — it's hard to keep up with this medical drama. Meredith Grey and her intern friends begin down a long journey in romance, loss and medical discoveries when they step into Seattle Grace Hospital. This show is the ultimate love story, tear jerking show of all history. Be aware when "Chasing Cars" starts to play, because you will ball your eyes out. It's the show that never ends, but you must continue to watch.

These shows may be the most popular series out there in the media, but they prove to be the best. I've watched each at least twice through and definitely recommend you give a try!

18 Signs You Might Have RBF

I'm fine. This is my natural face.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

The craziest, funniest, and most unforgettable college memories are impossible to create without an amazing group of friends.

I'm fine. This is my natural face.

1. Strangers have told you "Smile!" on regular occasions

2. The first thing people say to you is "Are you okay?"

3. Dates have texted you asking if they bored you

4. Or, they tell you they don't want to go out again because you didn't seem interested

5. People question your level of comfort in any given situation

10. You hate when people have their cameras out taking candids

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
