5 New Shows To Binge-Watch On Netflix This Winter Break

Like any other college student, I love (and I mean LOVE) to watch Netflix, so now that most colleges are on a winter break, here is a list of new shows to binge-watch on Netflix:

1. Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life

If you haven't had the chance to watch it since its debut on Netflix in November, there is no time like the present. This revival features many of our favorite characters facing their crazy lives in interesting ways, just as they did in the original series. (*WARNING: the last 4 words will probably make you mad*)

2. Stranger Things

This show, which aired on Netflix in mid-July this year, has already gained an incredibly large fan base. Stranger Things pays tribute to the pop culture of the 80's by drawing from the works of Stephen King, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and so many others. The story follows the story of a boy who disappeared, the appearance of the telekinetic girl, and the investigations conducted by his friends, his older brother and mother, and the local police. This show definitely has peaked my interest!

3. The Crown

This TV show follows the early years of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. You see a lot of how this woman came into her own as a ruler, and the people who helped her get there. Doctor Who's Matt Smith stars as Prince Phillip, Elizabeth's husband. The story is rivoting and one of the best shows I've ever watched before.

4. Too Young To Die

This show, which hit Netflix in 2015, follows the tragic deaths of celebrities who died far too young and so early on in promising careers. Some of the celebrities they talk about include Judy Garland, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, John Belushi, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, River Phoenix and a few other celebrities we lost too soon. The show offers insight into their deaths, and how the members of their families and other loved ones have dealt with the tragedy since their deaths.

5. Iliza Shlesinger: Confirmed Kills

Comedienne Iliza Schlesinger hit Netflix back in November with her new special. In this new special, she tackles being Chinatown drunk, party goblins, mermaids, and the TV show Shark Tank, along with many other hilarious scenarios and things. This is a comedy special definitely worth the watch, especially when you need a good laugh.

I hope that these shows will help you unwind and relax after a crazy few months in college. Enjoy your winter break, everyone! You've earned it!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
