"Maniac" is a new limited series out on Netflix, starring Jonah Hill, Emma Stone, Justin Theroux, Sonoya Mizuno, and Sally Field. If the all-star cast isn't enough to get you to watch, here are 5 other important reasons you should dive into this Netflix series:

1. It is totally MIND BENDING.

"Maniac" is completely mind bending — from the AdBuddy driven advertising world the characters live in, to the pharmaceutical trial featured, to the way the main character's brains mesh together. If you like shows like "Westworld" and "Game of Thrones," you'll like "Maniac."

2. Annie and Owen are amazing main characters

Annie is recovering from a personal tragedy and Owen is schizophrenic, and they're each looking to cure their mental issues in this mysterious pharmaceutical trial. They don't know each other at the start, but the way their lives intertwine is WILD.

3. The trippy visuals and story lines.

The opening sequence of Maniac is narrated by one of the doctors and starts you right in on a trippy journey about how life began on earth. Things progress from there, with wild and bright visuals being a cornerstone of this series.

4. Dr. Fujita's bangs and glasses

Yes, Dr. Fujita is super smart, complex and interesting. Her agoraphobia keeps her holed up in the lab most of the time, but she is definitely running the show in this experiment. Her blunt cut bangs, big glasses, and constant chain smoking make her a joy to watch anytime she's on the screen.

5. You can sit back and enjoy the ride!

This series will blow your mind, and at some points, you may not get what is happening. But that's okay! Just sit back and enjoy the ride, and let "Maniac" take you in. If you want a deeper understanding of all of the events, storylines, and easter eggs, I recommend reading the Vulture episode recaps.

ENJOY BINGE WATCHING "MANIAC!"

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
