For when you need a good laugh to get you through the pain of a hangover.

Now, I am NOT saying that you should binge drink! I don't even drink myself, but I have witnessed my fellow students get extremely hungover. Binge drinking is extremely dangerous and should never be done. If you do find yourself accidentally hungover, you may need to spend the day recovering and watching Netflix! Thankfully, I got you covered!

Everyone knows the hits like "Riverdale," "13 Reasons Why," "Queer Eye," "To All The Boys I Loved Before," "The Kissing Booth," and more… but since you probably have watched them already, I won't mention them again! My suggestions are the more unique originals that people have not heard about yet! So sit back, drink your hangover smoothie, and enjoy!

The Adult Cartoon: "Big Mouth"

Big Mouth

I will be honest, "Big Mouth" is no "Rick and Morty," but it comes very close in insanity levels. "Big Mouth" follows four middle school students going through puberty and their personal struggles in school. Andrew is a nerdy kid with a hormone monster who struggles to get a girlfriend and has overprotective parents. Nick is a short kid who wants to go through puberty. Jessi is the only girl who just started her period, and her mothers are having an affair. Lastly is Jay who loves magic and got a pillow pregnant. Yes, that happened. It is an over the top, but easy to follow show! You will be easily entertained and won't have to think too hard to understand the show.

The Rom Com: "Alex Strangelove"

Alex Strangelove

Did you enjoy "Love, Simon"? Well, this is Love, Simon's younger goofy brother! "Alex Strangelove" is about a high schooler who is a virgin. He truly loves his girlfriend but is not physically attracted to her because deep down, he knows he is gay. During the movie, he meets a gay college freshman named Elliot. The two fall for each other and Alex thinks he may be bisexual. This is a good hangover film because it is funny, silly, laughable, yet there are a few moments that pull on your heartstrings. Plus, you spend the whole movie wondering if Alex will lose his v-card.

The Sitcom: "Grace & Frankie"

Grace and Frankie

Have you ever been cheated on? Well, it happened to "Grace and Frankie," but worse! Both of their husbands announced that they were divorcing their wives in order to marry each other! But the show is so much for than that! While this show may seem unrelatable because they are in their 60s, it surprisingly reminds me our my own life. A show about betrayal is actually fun, entertaining, light-hearted, and you love the whole main cast! Frankie's ex-husband Sol and Grace's ex-husband Robert may seem like they are villains, but you love them! It is a good laugh for when your head is pounding! It is very easy to watch and you will end up loving it like I do!

The Anime: "Seven Deadly Sins"

Seven Deadly Sins

This show is a lot to explain. The Seven Deadly Sins is a group of deadly and powerful Holy Knights who are wanted criminals for betraying the kingdom. You learn that they did not betray the kingdom and are actually misunderstood heroes. Each of the seven Holy Knights represent a sin. The main character is Meliodas, a young looking (but extremely old) kid who is Wrath. He owns a traveling bar and has a sidekick pig named Hawk. Meliodas is discovered by a Princess who is trying to get the seven Holy Knights back together in order to save the fallen kingdom again. This show is also easy to follow, but is intense and wonderful to watch! The action will help you stay interested when you wanna fall back asleep!

The Teen Drama: "Degrassi: Next Class"

Degrassi

Sometimes when you are hungover in college, it reminds you of your high school days! Technically, this is not a Netflix original, but Netflix owns "Degrassi" now! "Degrassi" is about a group of high school students who are struggling with different issues. Over the years, the issues have become more modern and intense. Yet, the show is still enjoyable and realistic. "Degrassi" has been an amazing show for years! I loved the show since Drake has been a member of the cast. While it is not popular, you will always know a person who has seen the show. The seasons are now short, so you can watch "Degrassi: New Class" very quickly while you recover!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
