If you're anything like me, the indecisiveness is real when it comes to picking out what to watch on Netflix. Movie or TV show? Drama or Rom Com? Here's a variety of must watch shows and movies that'll hopefully shorten your browsing time on Netflix.

1. The Fundamentals Of Caring

If you're looking for a heartwarming and humorous movie, The Fundamentals Of Caring hits every mark. Paul Rudd brings exceptional charm onto the screen, as a former writer turned caregiver to Trevor, a teen suffering from muscular dystrophy. A film rooted in lessons about loss and love, the charismatic characters and endearing storylines make it a film worth watching.

2. Chef's Table

Now with two seasons on Netflix, this docu-series focuses on culinary talents all the way from Los Angeles to the Patagonian islands. Chef's Table takes a step back from adrenaline filled cooking competitions by dedicating each episode to a different chef, showcasing his or her rich diversity and personal philosophies about the art of cuisine.

3. Sky High

Because who wouldn't want to relive their Disney childhood days?

4. David Blaine: Real or Magic?

Known as an American magician and endurance artist, David Blaine's incredible tricks and stunts always leaves you wondering, did that really just happen? In this TV special, David brings his talent to the doorsteps of various celebrities, even getting a "Get the f*ck out of my house!" reaction from Harrison Ford. With truly gasp-worthy moments, it's magic like no other.

5. Hush

Even though Halloween has passed, you never need a reason to watch a scary movie. A spin on the classic home invasion story, the suspense is framed with a back and forth battle when Maddie, a deaf-mute writer isolated in the woods, is met with a psychopath masked killer.

6. Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories

This Netflix original contains 30 minute short stories that are told in Japanese with English subtitles, all of which center around a chef, referred to as Master, and his diner that's open from midnight to 7 in the morning. Infused with a collection of eccentric characters, the show provides an interesting take on the parallels between food and relationships. Each story, while simplistic, shows us that more happens in the night than you would expect, while making poignant impressions and leaving you just a little bit hungry.

7. Nightcrawler

A beautifully devilish part played by Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler displays the brutality of crime journalism in the streets of Los Angeles. In this thriller, Gyllenhaal's character, Lou, is a freelance videographer with a thirst for scandals in the dead of night.

8. Gilmore Girls

Now I had to add this one at the end of the list, because we've waited years for this moment: the highly anticipated Gilmore Girls revival. Hurry, there's only a couple days to catch up before we finally return to Stars Hallow this Friday.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
