8 Shows You Need To Watch In 2017

New year, new shows! Here's to 2017 and binge watching to your heart's content. Here are a few ideas for your next obsession.

1. Crazy Ex Girlfriend

One of the funniest -- and highly underrated -- shows on Netflix. It's weird and quirky, but super fun. Part musical, part self-deprecating comedy, its the perfect show to binge watch over a long weekend with a couple of friends.

2. Quantico

Quantico is Scandal meets FBI drama. It draws you in from the first episode and doesn't let go, with romance and crime to no end. While there is only one season on Netflix right now, hopefully there will be more to come.

3. Switched at Birth

Freeform's long-running drama about two girls switched in the hospital where they were born can border on cheesy, but has enough drama to keep you watching for hours. Its look into deaf culture and the struggle to identify with family are actually poignant, which makes this a perfect binge-show.

4. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Kimmy is the type of person we all want to be, happy-go-lucky and naive to the evils of the world. While it is fun to watch her move on from being a "mole woman," Titus Andromedon, her roommate proves to be the hidden star of this cute comedy.

5. The Carrie Diaries

There were only two seasons made of this show, which is a total shame. It is based on the "Sex and the City" prequel of the same name, and has just as much drama and fashion as you would expect. It's a fun show to watch over a weekend or two, and will keep you hanging on 'till the last episode.

6. House

House is the grittier, less glamorous alternative to Gray's Anatomy. It follows the life of Dr. House, who solves medical mysteries while dealing with his own personal issues. It's a typical drama, but easy enough to start and watch over the course of a semester.

7. The Blacklist

Similar to Quantico, The Blacklist is an FBI drama that follows an agent and her life as she partners with a criminal. The mystery behind Reddington hooks you in from the beginning, and it's hard to stop watching.

8. Bones

While Bones isn't a shiny new drama or comedy, it's a tried-and-true show with 11 seasons on Netflix so far. Bones is witty and socially awkward, which makes the show funnier than it may seem.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
