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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
