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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
