5 Netflix Shows You Should Binge-Watch This Summer
Gladhouse

For all the college students, you are most likely done all your finals. For those in high school, you're getting close to the end of the year, and summer is just around the corner.

Everyone else, it's about that time where we spend our days in the sun, and the nights on Netflix. I know, I know, you just finished your favorite TV series and you suddenly have no idea what to watch. Well, I'm here to save the day.

I'll be giving you some shows that I've watched, some not fully, but have loved. I hope you'll find one of your favorite new shows on here!

1. New Girl.

I'm currently watching this and I'm IN LOVE. If you love stupid humor, this one is for you. The episodes are only 30 minutes at most, so the episode is always jam-packed with drama. It's basically about a weird girl named Jess (Zooey Deschanel) who lives with three guys as they all go through their 30s together.

It's silly. It's weird. It's hilarious. Definitely recommend. Schmidt is my favorite.

2. Baby Daddy.

Again, if you are into silly comedy, this one is for you. It tells the story of Ben who has to start "adulting" when he unexpectedly finds his child at his doorstep. He lives with his best friend and brother, and the wildest stuff happens throughout the seasons.

3. One Day at a Time

This show is absolute gold. Super funny and light-hearted, but also delves into serious topics like racism and homophobia. This show is the story of a Cuban family who go through things that we can all probably relate to in one way or another. This show shows the true meaning of family, and what it's like to always have each other's back. #TeamAbuela

4. The Vampire Diaries.

I know what you're thinking. Super corny. But let me just say, it ain't your average Twilight story. It not only has an ultimate love story, but shows the importance of brotherhood and friendship. It doesn't just talk about romance, but it has a lot of action also. And no, it is not just blood-sucking weirdos on screen.

It actually gets really intense, and stays strong through all 8 seasons. I started watching this in high school, but even now six years later, I have a huge appreciation for this show. I've laughed, I've cried, I've had post-show depression after I finished. Here's a secret too: I cried for a solid five minutes after I watched the last episode. It was that bad. WATCH IT.

5. Black Mirror.

THIS SHOW. I did not expect to be so addicted to it, but it definitely lives up to it's reputation. It is a show that you can watch randomly and whenever you want to. It is a show full of crazy mind-messing games.

You never really expect what is going to happen in the episode because the endings are always CRAZY. Definitely something for people who like thrillers and things that make you really think. The first episode of the series isn't the best, so don't let that get you. Maybe watch the second episode first...

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
