As a human living in 2016, your time is precious--which is why when it comes to watching television for five hours and four minutes every day on average, you need to make sure you're investing in the right shows. Nothing is worse than binging an entire series only to realize that you could have been using that time to watch an even better one. So, here are seven Netflix shows that are definitely not worth watching.

1. Friends

Six people who are all friends with each other (and not just on Facebook)? Talk about an unrealistic premise. If it's fantasy you're interested in, then try something a little less "out there," like Game of Thrones.

2. Orange Is The New Black

Let this show be a lesson that spinoffs never work, as this Steven Avery origin story never quite took off. Plus, how are you supposed to pronounce its nickname, OINTB? Do you say all of the letters individually, or is it "oint-buh"? You're looking for a crime drama, not a thinker.

3. Parks and Recreation

First of all, everyone knows Amy Poehler doesn't live in Indiana because no one important lives in Indiana. Second, a branch of government dedicated to local parks? This sci-fi/reality mashup just has a little too much going on.

4. Luke Cage

This show's titular character is described as "a hoodie-wearing, unbreakable ex-con." Please, everyone knows con men wear long trench coats filled with watches.

5. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Um, isn't Luke Cage supposed to be the unbreakable one? Recycled plot lines are the worst.

6. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Wouldn't it be less redundant to just say "ex-girlfriend"? Besides, the boys on this show are just as crazy. Watch one episode, and you'll see them singing and dancing. Boys don't sing and dance; they play sports.

7. Fuller House.

But actually.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
