The Summer Watchlist

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.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
