7 Shows To Binge Watch When You Should Be Studying For Finals

You’ve finally reached the homestretch with just a few more classes standing between you and summer vacation. This also means that finals are upon you. You should most definitely be studying, but let’s be honest, will you? Would you rather be ankles deep in organic chemistry or snuggled up in your bed with the radiation from your computer keeping you warm? Here’s a list of TV shows to binge watch when you should be studying, but won’t.

1. "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"

This show is, by far, one of my favorites. Just wrapping up it's first season, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" tells the story of Rebecca Bunch, a crazy ex-girlfriend, hence the title of the show. What's even more appealing about this show is that it's not only fun loving and humorous, it's told with musical numbers! Rachel Bloom (Rebecca) never fails to make the show enjoyable, while keeping it very real, with relatable humor about UTIs, crushes, and all the other struggles we face every day.

Perfect for someone looking for a relatable but not-too-serious comedy. Watch on Hulu or CW.com

2. "Young and Hungry"

Everyone knows Emily Osment as Lily Truscott, Hannah Montana's lovable best friend, but in this ABC Family original, Osment plays a chef named Gabby. Gabby, who ends up getting her dream job working as a personal chef for a 30-something tech god, finds herself trying to get out of her own humorous messes alongside her sassy coworkers Yolanda, a house cleaner, and Elliot, a sassy publicist.

Perfect for anyone looking for a heartwarming love story and laughter. Watch seasons 1-3 on Netflix.

3. "Awkward"

"Awkward" is another one of my personal favorites. The show revolves around Jenna Hamilton, a Palos Verdes, California, teenager struggling with high school, boys, family life, a blog, as well as her own identity. It's currently wrapping up its fifth and final season, but that doesn't mean you can't catch the earlier episodes.

Perfect for anyone looking for a high school dramedy chock full of love triangles. Watch seasons 1-5 on Hulu.

4. "Documentary Now!"

Fred Armisen and Bill Hader team up to create this hilarious show that parodies the current rise in documentary films. Each episode takes on a different style of documentary with different characters and plot, but keeps the same satirical humor.

Perfect for anyone who loves "Portlandia" or "SNL." Watch season 1 on Netflix.

5. "iZombie"

Liv Moore, is overachieving med student who turns into a zombie after going to a boat party. To survive, she finds a job at the morgue and eats the brains of murder victims. Soon after consuming brains she realizes that her personality traits change according to the victim.

Perfect for anyone who likes television about fighting crime and/or zombies. Watch season 1 on Netflix and season 2 on Hulu.

6. "Girls"

Lena Dunham's creation revolves around the lives of four women living in New York City. It draws aspects from Dunham's own life while adding fictitious elements as well. It is a dramatic comedy that pushed boundaries and represents very realistic adult life in New York.

Perfect for anyone who likes dark comedies, New York City, and drama. Watch all five seasons on HBO GO or HBO NOW.

7. "Modern Family"

This Emmy award winning show will do nothing but make you laugh as you're trying to study. It is set up like a documentary about a family living in southern Los Angeles and shares the story of this "modern family." It has an ensemble based storyline and every character is extremely hilarious.

Perfect for anyone who loves mockumentaries, comedy, and heartwarming television. Watch every season on Hulu.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
