5 Netflix And Amazon Prime Shows You Should Be Watching
seekingalpha.com

I'm as bad as the next person when it comes to re-watching shows on Netflix. Shows like The Office and Shameless have us hooked and we can't seem to watch anything else, even with the hundreds of shows that streaming services like Netflix and Amazon have to offer. Still, there are a few shows worth checking out:


1. "Sneaky Pete", Amazon Prime

Do you remember Phoebe's brother Frank from Friends? Well, he's starring in his own Amazon show about a con-man who's just been released from prison and is trying to repay a debt to Bryan Cranston to save his brother. In order to do this, he pretends to be his prison roommate, Pete, and lives with Pete's family in order to cover up. It will make you realize your family is not as dysfunctional as you think, and it has all the intrigue and back-and-forth of a good con.


2. "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", Netflix

If you like musicals, this show is for you. Rebecca Bunch is hell-bent on making her ex-boyfriend fall in love with her, a storyline that most of us can relate to. It's quirky and completely original, with a song sang by the cast each episode, that will have you singing to yourself and wondering if you're as crazy as Rebecca. Seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix right now so get on it.


3. "Love", Netflix

Season 2 of this dry, yet endearing show is being released on March 10th. The first season is only 10 episodes so you can catch up quick. It follows two people living in L.A. and trying to navigate their jobs as they, you guessed it, fall in love with each other. The humor is extremely sarcastic, and most often found from Mickey's off-beat Australian roommate, this show is worth the watch.


4. "Santa Clarita Diet", Netflix

If you like zombies but The Walking Dead is too much, this is the show for you. Drew Barrymore plays a recently-turned zombie, while her family is just trying to live a normal suburban life. Not the greatest show ever made, but it has heart and it will make you laugh, even as you find yourself completed disgusted by Barrymore eating a leg.


5. "The Man in the High Castle", Amazon Prime

If you've ever wondered what the world would be like if the Allies hadn't won World War II, this show is for you. It's an Emmy-winning show currently in its second season, and it has all the intrigue and political plot twists you could ask for while you wait for House of Cards to come back.

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?
