Some of the things I enjoy most in life include finding a good television series to watch on Netflix while I avoid doing any adult-like responsibilities that I should be doing. Luckily, Netflix helps fuel this addiction by adding some binge-worthy series that just can't keep me away. For anyone who is like me and reality TV is secretly your guilty pleasure, these five shows are ready to be added to your list. So, grab your popcorn and your favorite comfy clothes so you can watch these titles before they end up on the "leaving Netflix this month" list.


1. Sing It On

Pitch Perfect meets the real world in this 2015 TV series. Follow multiple collegiate accapella groups from across the country on their journey to the final competition in New York City. Filled with great music, drama, and an emotional and unexpected curve ball, this show is 10/10 acca-awesome. This binge-worthy show only has one season available at the moment, but it is still worth the watch.

2. Border Control

With seasons in three countries (America, Australia, and Canada), follow the life of the border control officers who have seen it all. Smuggling drugs, attempting to bring in forbidden foods (like raw meat) and illegal workers, the show is filled with plenty of tears and hilarious moments. You also get a sneak peak of these countries mailrooms as they check packages and large shipments. Plus, there are lots of puppies. What's not to like? Choose from Canada and Australia, that both have two seasons available to watch or America, who has one.

3. The Great British Bake Off


Ready, set, bake! Hosted by UK cheesy pun duo Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, bakers attempt three challenges per episode to bake their way to the top. Judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood judge the bakers cakes, cookies, breads and more - along with other desserts you probably didn't know existed. The best part is that all the weeks of intense competition are worth a bouquet of flowers and a cake stand trophy. By the end of your three season binge, you will be ready to try a thing or two yourself.

4. Undercover Boss

Undercover Boss takes you behind the scenes of some of the worlds leading companies by living the life of a low-level employee through the eyes of a boss. From resorts to fast food joints to service companies, CEOs and presidents learn how their companies are running from the ground up, with some hidden surprises for the employees they meet along the way. Five seasons of undercover action are waiting, start binging now.

5. Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends

This 1999 hit shows you the adventures Louis embarks on to explore the subcultures of America, and it is intriguing. Although there are only currently 5 episodes available to stream on Netflix, you will get to see a wide variety of individuals from Demolition Derby drivers to Off-Broadway wannabes. With each episode lasting about 50 minutes, it's an easy binge to avoid having a productive Saturday.

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.

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?
