The 10 Best Shows To Watch When You're Procrastinating

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!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
