5 TV Shows To Binge During Quarantine To Keep The Corona Blues Away

I'm sure many of us have already binge-watched enough Netflix or television in general since quarantine began, but there's always more to watch. I've been really into these shows lately, and I've been watching many of them since I was in high school. These five television shows helped me get through many at-home days, and I hope that you enjoy them, too.

"Family Feud"

Giphy

I'm a sucker for game shows, especially "Family Feud." I've been watching it with my family while we eat dinner ever since quarantine started. The families that compete are adorable and Steve Harvey (the best "Family Feud" host, in my opinion) is hilarious. Some are the questions that are asked are questionable but nonetheless, the answers that family members give never cease to surprise me sometimes.

"Survivor"

Giphy

I used to watch "Survivor" religiously while I was in high school, and I recently started to watch it again. Basically, the show takes a punch of players, divides them up into three tribes (usually), and drops them off on an island. The model of the show is "Outwit, outplay, outlast," meaning that it is a physical competition as much as it is a social one. They compete in challenges, win rewards, form alliances, and go to tribal council where all of the tea is spilled and one person gets eliminated each time.

"Dr. Phil"

Giphy

I do not condone the behaviors of the guests on the show, but I do find their stories intriguing. Many of the guests have issues revolving around drug addictions, family relationships, money frauds, and mental illnesses. Personally, I don't want my problems to be known by millions of people, but I guess that's what you have to do if you want Dr. Phil's help. He's blunt, doesn't take any excuses from anyone, and stands behind what he says, and you could learn a thing or two.

"Shark Tank"

Giphy

Initially, I thought this show was about people swimming with sharks which is what made me select the show from the television guide, but it turns out that it's about entrepreneurs creating a new product and starting a company from it. I personally do not know much about business or entrepreneurship, but I think it's cool to be able to keep updated on what's new in the market. You get to see how people make pitches and what makes for a successful negotiation and business deal.

"The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart"

Giphy

I've only watched one episode of it, and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this edition of "The Bachelor." I was a fan of the regular "Bachelor," "Bachelorette," and "Bachelor in Paradise" series, and I find this series to be kind of random. Basically, all of the contestants share a common talent, which is singing. On the first day, they have to pair up, and whoever they pair up with, they have to sing a duet with each week. Every week, there is an elimination based on each couple's performance and connection. It may not be the greatest series from "The Bachelor," but at least the contestants are good singers.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
