The 10 Best Shows To Watch When You're Procrastinating

https://www.instagram.com/rebecca_miller38/

Don't even try to deny it, everybody has those times where they physically cannot force themselves to do their work and need a little mental relaxer. For me, I LIVE for finding a show I connect with, binging it 24/7, getting my friends hooked as well, and discussing the characters and plot lines as if it's imperative to function. I hope y'all find a new infatuation within what's below! :)

10. "Friends"

Giphy

Want to watch a group of best friends discover their place in little ole New York?? Well then this is the show for you. Friends is just a perfect classic that you can binge or occasionally watch in any order, providing you with enough vitamin Phoebe to enrich not only the show, but your own life.

9. "That 70s Show"

Giphy

AHHHHH major ship! Watch the most perfect couples pair off as they deal with their teen years and cranky Red.

8. "The Bachelor"

Giphy

Hannah's the exception to the amount of growling typically on the bachelor. So whether or not you believe this show is actually efficient on finding perfect matches, it definitely wins in the entertainment category, because you are introduced to so many different personalities and get to see who plays the game the best. Plus who doesn't like roses??

7. "House Hunters"/ Literally ANY HGTV show

Giphy

I will never be an interior designer or proficient in knocking down walls, but there is something captivating about seeing what architecture people are drawn too and the gorgeous interiors.

6. "House Of Cards"

Giphy

Oh Franky boy. Through the narration of a classic "scum bag" politician (hopefully normal politicians don't murder as much as Frank!), you are introduced to Washington and how the government functions (or fails to function).

5. "How I Met Your Mother"

Giphy

This show is legen--- wait for it---- daryyyyy. If you don't get the reference you should definitely give the show a shot. You get to live through their thirties with Ted, Barney, Lilly, Marshall, and Robin, and discover how Ted met his wife.

4. "Big Mouth"

Giphy

Great show if you're into disturbing comedy about middle schoolers entertaining the notion of puberty...

3. "Say Yes To The Dress"

Giphy

Oooooh the wedding gowns are ahhhmazing, but the best part is seeing their family and friends turn on each other (including the bride) whilst vouching for the dress they think is best.

2. "Sex And The City"

Giphy

MR BIG!

1. "Gossip Girl"

Giphy

Not to be dramatic, but the absolute best show in the world! Step into life on the Upper East Side and experience "I'm Chuck Bass" for yourself.

xoxo, happy watching!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza.

I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
