The Summer Watchlist
Googlebollywoodmasala

Summer is here! Fortunately, this means that free time (or work) is abundant. When you're bored at home or just need some time to yourself it's always good to watch some TV. Whether you're into crime dramas or reality TV — it's all here.

1. Criminal Minds

This show is ever popular. It's about a group of analysts who try to find serial killers. There are a couple of serial killers that keep showing up within the seasons as well. The show is just enough crime and relationship drama to keep you entertained for most of your summer. Most of the 11 seasons are available on Netflix

2. White Collar

Personally this is one of my favorites. It's another crime show that has the ever-adorable Matthew Bomer in it. He plays a sarcastic con-artist who is aiding the police. Also the entire series is available on Netflix!

3. The Real World

Okay, hear me out. I know it seems like really terrible reality TV but if you want to mindlessly watch hours upon hours of television, "The Real World" is for you. It's about a group of people who get thrown into a random city into a small apartment and are watched 24/7. It's drama galore. I recommend starting on the more recent seasons — and work your way around the cities you like best. Most seasons can be found on MTV.

4. Catfish: The TV Show

Another MTV reality show, but way less drama this time! Each episode is about a new person who is in an internet relationship. Nev and Max are sent to help uncover the identity of the catfish. Nev and Max are extremely nice and always try to make the relationship flourish (if they can). There are four seasons of this show on MTV as well, and you don't have to watch them in order.

5. Gilmore Girls

If you haven't watched this yet — stop what you're doing and get to it. This show is phenomenal. It's a quirky mother-daughter relationship and the interesting obstacles they have to work through. This show will last a whole summer and is equal parts funny and emotional. Watch it on Netflix!

6. Gossip Girl

This show is full of drama, but will hook you after one episode. The intense relationships and ever changing drama will keep you pressing play for hours on end. This show is 10/10 and you should hop over to Netflix to watch it. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

7. Grey's Anatomy

I myself just jumped on the Grey's train and at first I hated myself for it, but it's so good. 100% binge-worthy and it's worth it. I have laughed and cried many times. Spoiler Alert: It takes a really long time for Meredith and Derek to get together and most people you like will end up dead. You can find it on Netflix.

8. New Girl

If you are looking for a quick sitcom, this is for you. It's funny and easy to get into. Zooey Deschanel is also the cutest actress in the world. Zooey plays Jess who is a quirky elementary school teacher in the middle of a life-changing year. Watch it on Netflix.

9. Real World/Road Rules The Challenge

What a name, right? If you liked "The Real World," how could you not LOVE "The Challenge." It's all the drama of "The Real World" with intense challenges and grueling activities. There's always love and loss on this show, and your favorite contestants always pop up again with their love interest. Diem and CT anyone? Watch this on MTV!

10. Parks and Recreation

Last but not least, we have "Parks and Rec." This show is quite possibly the best sitcom ever (besides Friends of course). It's cute and odd and hilarious. I always cry laughing when I watch this show and it is so strangely relatable. The entire series is on Netflix.

There. Now you have 10 shows you can watch this summer — all are available on convenient platforms! It's time to sit back and relax with a new show that you won't be able to watch all in one night.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
