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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
