2. To All The Boys I've Loved Before

Giphy

This movie took the internet by storm a couple weeks ago and I have to say, it's become one of my favorite love story on Netflix. Based off of a popular YA book, To All The Boys I've Loved Before is about a teenage girl who is too afraid to talk to her crushes, so she writes them letters. When those letters happen to get accidentally sent out, she's forced to face each of the boys and figure herself out. If you're a sucker for cheesy love, this is the movie for you.

3. Big Mouth

Easily one of the most hilarious animated series I've ever watched, Big Mouth is about what it's like as a confused and awkward pre-teen going through puberty. This show is the closest anybody's ever come to truly expressing the gory details of becoming a teenager with some disgusting but incredibly funny parts added throughout.

4. Black Mirror

Giphy

Buckle up because this show will have you binging until your eyes bleed. Black Mirror is the type of science fiction nobody wants to think about because it's so close to reality that it could actually happen. If you like conspiracy theories or just like things that hurt your brain because you can't understand them, you should give Black Mirror a try.

5. Atypical

Giphy

Atypical follows high school senior, Sam as he tries to find a way to take on the world as a person on the spectrum. This show has something extremely important to say about the capabilities of people on the spectrum, what the world is like for them, and how everybody else needs to improve their knowledge on them. Definitely a must watch for any kind of person.

6. The Fundamentals of Caring

Giphy

This hilarious dark comedy is about a shut-in and his new caregiver as they decide to make a cross-country trip hitting the most ridiculous of landmarks. It appeals to those of you with a darker sense of humor and both the main characters are amazing together. Selena Gomez makes an appearance too, so that's cool.

7. The Kissing Booth

The Kissing Booth is a movie about a girl who falls in love with her best friends brother. Not the strongest plot but honestly really good if you want to watch a super fun, cutsie little love story with a happy ending.

8. Love

Giphy

Love is a show about a young woman who has absolutely none of her shit together (same) and a nerdy young man who's kind of got it together but wants more out of life. They fall in love, sort of, and try to make things work in a way that works for them. A great show if you're looking for something that is extremely real and interesting, but also a hot mess.

9. When We First Met

When We First Met is about a guy who attends his best friend's engagement party and realizes that he really messed up and missed his shot with the bride. He drinks himself into a coma and wakes up in the past with a second chance to get the girl and live happily ever after. Kinda cringe in a good way, this movie is so funny from start to finish, and ends with a twist that makes your heart smile for a reason that is different than you would've thought. Definitely a good movie to watch with anybody.

10. The Ranch

Giphy

The Ranch is a show that I didn't think that I would like at all, until I watched all five seasons in a day and ended up really liking it. It has a couple of the same actors that were in That 70's Show so I'd assumed for some reason that it would be similar to that. I was wrong. This show is about a family of ranchers who struggle to stay afloat as ranching industry goes corporate. Comical at times, and serious at times, this show is filled with valuable lessons and is an accurate depiction of family at its best, and worse.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
