5 Netflix Original Shows To Binge Watch Immediately
CareerGirlDaily

Whether you're knee deep in final exam stress, or already basking in the relief of summer vacation, these comedies are guaranteed not to disappoint. There's no guilt in watching any of these for a couple hours and there's no better time to check them out.

1. "Chelsea"

Comedian Chelsea Handler is back. On Wednesday, May 11, the former "Late Nigh"t star will host Netflix’s first ever tal -show. Episodes will be recorded in front of a live studio audience and then will stream online every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Although details on the show are limited, Handler has said she plans to expand on the pop-culture topics discussed on her old show as well as bring comedy to serious current events including election coverage.

2. "LOVE"

From the man that brought you the "40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Bridesmaids" comes a show about two 20-somethings -- nerdy-nice-guy Gus, and sarcastic-angsty Mickey -- as they navigate dating and adulthood. The show is quirky but shines a harsh light on modern dating and relationships. Plus, with only 10 episodes, you can watch it all in one sitting. If you do, don’t worry: season two is slated to return in early 2017.

3. "Orange Is The New Black"

With season four just around the corner (June 17), now is the time to visit (or re-visit) Litchfield Prison. The award-winning series follows the lives of inmates and guards in a minimum security women's prison. Details on season four have been kept under wraps. However, according to Taylor Schilling, Piper Chapman’s character development may bring her into a new state of rebellion and the season is said to be its darkest one, yet. "Orange is the New Black" is already signed on to have four more seasons in the future, so now is the time to catch up on the craze.

4. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

Tina Fey and 30 Rock producer, Robert Carlock, have come together to create this witty series. With a theme song guaranteed to get stuck in your head (“Females are strong as hell”), Kimmy Schmidt is the perfect light-hearted pick-me-up when you’re coping with final exam stress. The second season was recently added and season three is already in the works.

5. "Master of None"

Yet another comedic genius has a Netflix series. Aziz Ansari creates and stars in this comedy about a 30-year-old aspiring actor in Hollywood. Not only is the show funny, but it touches on important issues in today’s society including racism and stereotypes. Each episode is only 30 minutes long and season two is slated to return 2017, as well.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
