6 Shows to Binge Watch before Summer Ends

With fall almost here, we are not only upon the season of returning to school, but new seasons of our favorite television shows, too. So before professors start drowning us in homework, essays, and all other kinds of assignments, we should use these last few weeks of summer to catch up on or rewatch our favorite shows.

1. How to Get Away with Murder

If you haven't seen this show, you've been missing out. It focuses on prominent defense attorney and law professor Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) and a select group of law students as they help their clients avoid jail time. All the while, the team of law students and their professor are trying to get away with a murder of their own. You can watch the first two seasons on Netflix before season three premieres in September.

2. Big Brother

If you're into reality shows, this is one to watch. At the beginning of the summer sixteen strangers are put in a house together. Here they must live and compete for power in the house, because each week they will vote to evict one of their fellow houseguests. The show's eighteenth season is currently on CBS Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays each week. But you can rewatch it from the start as well as previous seasons on CBS.com.

3. Scandal

Scandal is a political drama about Olivia Pope, who runs a crisis management firm in Washington D.C. Olivia Pope and her team fix problems for their clients. They do some pretty sketchy stuff to get their clients out of sticky situations. Not only does Olivia have all this drama in her professional life, she's also in love with Fitzgerald Grant, who happens to be the President of the United States. You can watch five seasons of the show on Netflix (PS, I'm totally team Jake Ballard).

4. Malcolm in the Middle

Okay, so this show has long since ended, but it was a major part of my childhood and is always worth the rewatch. It's about Malcolm, a wicked smart kid, with three brothers and crazy parents. Watch this show if you need a good laugh. The show's seven seasons are on Netflix.

5. Criminal Minds

Up until the age of 16 I truly believed I could be an FBI profiler because of this show. A team of agents from the Behavioral Analysis Unit travel across the county solving crimes by getting into the mind's of criminals. If you love Law and Order: SVU, you'll love this show just as much. The show's 12th season premeires, without Derek Morgan, this fall, so catch up on Netflix.

6. Jane the Virgin

Jane is a virgin that is accidentally artificially inseminated with the sperm of her boss and high school crush. Add in her crazy family and her fiance, Michael, and the show will have you laughing out loud. Plus, the love triangle between Jane, Michael, and her baby daddy, Rafael, will have you glued to the television. The first two seasons are available on Netflix.

Here's to binge watching the last few weeks of summer away.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
