1. Black Mirror

If you haven't started this series yet you are truly missing out on great cinematography and intensely unique story lines that will thrill and shock you.I recommend beginning with episode two, episode one of the first season is a little difficult to stomach. The series emphasizes the issues that can arise in a high tech dystopia.

2. Chewing Gum

If you were raised Christian and remember your parent's awkward lectures on "urges" then you'll relate to Tracey. She's an average girl with an intensely Christian mother. All Tracey wants is a nice boyfriend who'll make her feel sexy and wanted (God forbid.) Who will win: The power of Jesus Christ or Tracey's Hormones? Watch the first season on Netflix now!

3. iZombie

Ok, so the premise for this show is, well, it's really stupid, but hear me out. Super smart, super pretty, super normal girl on her way to finishing her residency goes to a party and becomes a zombie. But she's not your typical rampage and gore Zombie, she's sophisticated. Plus, she uses her ability to see the memories of the deceased to find their murders bringing them to justice. I know, very dumb, but the writers do a great job of pacing the show murder-mystery style and they keep the science believable. So, if you're obsessed with Zombies or can't resist a murder-mystery then check this out.

4. Spartacus

Yes, I am aware that this show is pretty old. But what better way to recover your brain from finals than with completely meaningless gore, lots of steamy scenes, and ridiculously gorgeous people all crammed into a show about the most epic slave rebellion of all time! You know you watch on it on Netflix!

5. Mad Men

If you have not seen this show you are missing out a key insight into current and past political American culture. Also the drama on this show will have you in shock. There is never a dull moment in this imaginary rendition of the office that shaped advertising forever.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
