5 Surprisingly Good Shows You Need to Binge Watch this Fall
The Odyssey Online

Fall is the season of falling leaves, pumpkin carving, going apple picking, and of course new seasons of all of our favorite shows. In today's modern world, we have gotten to a point where television is actually better than film in most cases. With so many creative and note-worthy shows, it's difficult to keep track of what's actually out there. I wanted to share a few of some of the shows that I have gotten addicted to. If you have time to fit one or all of these shows onto your list of shows to have a binging marathon to, I think these are definitely worth checking out.

1. Scream: The TV Series

This show is based off of the popular 90's slasher movie franchise, and honestly, when I first heard about this show I thought that it was going to be a train wreck, especially after Scream 4 had fallen extremely short of living up to its predecessors. The premise of the series follows high school student Emma Duvall, who seems to have the perfect life, until she and her friends become the prime target of an unknown killer. The haunting past of their small town comes back to unfold its secrets in a classic whodunit scenario.

2. You're the Worst

A smart comedy about modern romance follows the two toxic and self-destructive characters of Jimmy and Gretchen as they try to attempt the one thing both of them are horrible at: sustaining a healthy relationship. You're the Worst is currently in its third season, and although it is not a very well known show, its smart and witty dialogue, along with its strange set of characters make for an interesting story line.

3. Scream Queens

The creator of American Horror Story created this surprisingly smart and funny horror comedy about a series of murders spiraling around the sorority of Kappa Kappa Tau at Wallace University that are being committed by the "Red Devil Killer." Now in its second season, the show's setting has now changed to a hospital known as the CURE institute, where a few of our returning characters have come face to face with a new serial killer dubbed the "Green Meanie." You may find the show to be a bit ridiculous at first glance, but its satirical comedic structure and homage to popular horror classics make the show extremely entertaining and jaw dropping.

(Also, just FYI, John Stamos joined the cast for their new season, and he is just beautiful and amazing).

4. Bates Motel

This modern day prequel of the classic Hitchcock film, Psycho, centers around Norman Bates' backstory as a teenager and the strangely close relationship he has with his mother.

5. American Horror Story: Roanoke

Since its second season, the last few seasons of American Horror Story have somewhat fallen short due to its lack luster horror factor and plots that seem to go off on weird, and unnecessary tangents. Now in it's sixth season, the new theme of Roanoke is pretty frightening and contains a plot twist that is actually quite brilliant.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
