The 5 Best Shows To Binge Watch On Netflix
tookapic

At this point in my life, I've watched everything there is to watch on Netflix. Everything from Netflix Originals to Foreign Films. Some shows are worth it, but others are just there to pass the time. In order to weed out the worthless shows that distract from Netflix greats, here are my favorite, binge-worthy shows on Netflix.

1. "Big Mouth"

I know this show only has one series, so it is not really a binge, but it is definitely a refreshing humor - humor that can only be found in shows like "Family Guy" and "American Dad". If you're a fan of raunchy humor like me, then you will love this series from the first episode.

2. "Grey's Anatomy"

Everyone already knows the hype that surrounds "Grey's Anatomy", but I was late to the show. I only started watching "Grey's Anatomy" two years ago, but I quickly binge-watched the 13 seasons that were on Netflix. The medical themes, as well as the dynamic personalities and friendships quickly made the series one of my favorites, and it it's still going on! If you haven't yet, I definitely suggest you join the Grey's party.

3. "Dexter"

I just recently started watching "Dexter" two days ago, and I'm already on season 3. Basically, I watched one season a day. The psychological thriller cop drama-comedy (there are so many adjectives to describe this show) hooked me. As a psych major, I love getting an inside look in the mind of a psychopath, a serial killer nonetheless. Watching Dexter grow and discover who he is, and who he wants to be. This show is truly a masterpiece. Plus, it's based on a book series I'm definitely going to have to read now.

4. "Parenthood"

Similar to Grey's, the family dynamics of this show hooked me. The series is reminiscent of "Gilmore Girls", and I'm sure you'll recall a familiar face from the series. I just enjoyed watching the lives of the Braverman clan change and shift as they face the obstacles life has to bring.

5. "Shameless"

Again, I couldn't help but fall in love with all the characters on "Shameless". I find the series to be very honest, and comedic. As the series unfolds, you really start to understand why each character is the way they are, and it's very saddening, but watching them overcome their pitfalls, and do there best to be better than their parents. The Gallaghers are another one of my truly shameless addictions.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

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. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
