As the spring semester looms over us, a lot of us are trying to enjoy these last couple of days before we travel back to our college towns to continue our education. But, now is an excellent time for some last-minute rest and relaxation, and an excellent time to binge some great new shows. Here are five binge-worthy tv shows you should add to your watch list.

1. "End of the F**cking World"

I just finished this show a week ago, and I can honestly say I fell in love with it. The story follows a young boy from England named James, who claims he’s a psychopath and wants to move from killing animals to killing humans. Along comes Alyssa, a very loud, wild, yet surprisingly charming girl who takes an interest in James. Together, their adventures bring some crazy, vulgar, entertaining scenes that you won’t want to miss. This show manages to combine humor with romance with drama with some pretty interesting action scenes. And, since the episodes are only 15-20 minutes long, it’s the perfect one-night binge.

2. "Big Little Lies"

I have not seen this show myself, but it took many awards at the Golden Globes this year, winning Nicole Kidman best actress in a TV or Mini-series. The story follows three mothers of first graders lives’ as they navigate challenges much bigger than expected. Starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, and Alexander Skarsgard, it sure looks like an interesting show to binge. Plus, it has an incredible cast of badass women, so how bad could it be, right?

3. "The Marvelous Ms. Maisel"

As I write this, I’m actually about to start this show on Amazon, but this has also gotten a lot of buzz at the Golden Globes as well, winning two awards. The show stars Rachel Brosnahan as the 1950’s housewife Miriam “Midge” Maisel as she leaves her cozy life behind to become a stand up comedian. Again, I have not seen this show, but it has gotten great reviews and again features a powerful woman who follows her dreams against all odds. It would be a great watch in these last few days before break ends!

4. "Black Mirror"

A modern-day Twilight Zone, this show combines every weird theory regarding technology taking over the world and turned it into one wild TV show. I have only seen the first episode to this show, but let me say, it is strange. If you are looking for something dark, mysterious, and absolutely mind-blowing, then this is the show for you. It received an 8.9/10 on IMDB, and just recently released a fourth season, it’s a show you could continue watching well into the semester, and continue to have your mind blown. But, watch with caution, because this show can get pretty crazy.

5. "The Crown"

I just finished season two of this show, and it was incredible. I’m not normally a huge fan of anything following historical events or historical figures, but The Crown definitely surprised me. It follows the coronation and the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, throughout her personal struggles, the struggles of her family (including her sister, Princess Margaret), and the struggles surrounding England in the time of her reign. John Lithgow plays Winston Churchill, who makes an appearance in the first season. It sometimes is a little slow, but ultimately it’s extremely interesting and worth some binge-time. Claire Foy does an impeccable job bringing Queen Elizabeth II to the screen, and Matthew Smith (former Doctor Who) does beautifully playing her husband, Phillip. This is worth your time if you have it, for sure!

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
