7 Shows To Binge-Watch Over Winter Break
Tumblr

Us college students have a long winter break ahead, and what better to do than nothing? This semester has been killer, so while we take this month off from life (in reality just school), let's binge watch the best of the best. Below are my six favorite shows that you can watch right now on Netflix.

1. "Stranger Things"

Sci-Fi Horror, 1 Season (2016-present)

As a Netflix Original series, this show is based during the 1980's in Indiana. A local boy goes missing and his mother, Joyce, is willing to do whatever it takes to find her son. While his mother and closest friends are searching for him day and night, the chief of police launches his own investigation. With all of their stories and theories put together, will they be able to find Will or does the government intervene?

2. "Nurse Jackie"

Medical Comedy/Drama, 7 Seasons (2009-2015)

While she's struggling to find a balance between her hectic job at a New York hospital and a wide range of personal problems,this sarcastic and pill-addicted E.R. Nurse strives to give her patients the best care possible. Because she knows the ins and outs of the health care system, nothing can stop her.

3. "Grey's Anatomy"

Medical Drama, 12 Seasons (2005-present)

Honestly, how can I create a summary of this show? Between the drama, witty comments, amazing surgeries and comical situations, I would name this show number one for entertainment. It's no wonder Grey's Anatomy has been on for 10+ years. It's based on a group of interns starting their career out at a teaching hospital in Seattle, Washington. Some will take the challenges as they come, but some won't make it out. Not to mention, the men.

4. "How to Get Away with Murder"

Legal Drama, 2 Seasons (2014-present)

Annalise Keating is a professor of Criminal Law. She chooses a group of her best students to work in her practice and help her solve her cases. As bad ass in the courtroom as she is in the classroom, she defends the worst of criminals and always find a way prove them innocent. The intense cross-examinations and twist and turns of this series are guaranteed to keep you entertained.

5. "One Tree Hill"

Various Genres/Drama, 9 Seasons (2003-2012)

After a four-year jump in time the young adults of the fictional town Tree Hill, North Carolina strive to keep their careers alive and friendships strong. Brothers Nathan and Lucas have been through a lot together and apart while pushing each other through every obstacle and hardship life has thrown them. Plus, they aren't too hard to look at.

Example A:

6. "Shameless"

Comedy-Drama, 6 Seasons (2011-present)

Based in Chicago, this show follows a dysfunctional family of an alcoholic father and a runaway mother. The leader of the pack and oldest daughter, Fiona, tries to help her family cope with their alcoholic dad all while trying to keep her life together and make herself happy. This show represents the crazy that we all are dying to let out.

7. "Orange is the New Black"

Comedy-Drama, 4 Seasons (2013-present)

The story of Piper Chapman, a woman that is sentenced to fifteen months in a Connecticut prison, she pushes her way through by making friends--and some enemies. By following the women of the minimum-security prison, you will see a variety of different personalities. I think what makes this Netflix Original series so special is the depth that comes along with each character.

Tip: Be mentally prepared for season four.

Happy Winter break, college students!

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

He's going to ask for a glass of milk

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
