5 Crime Shows You Definitely Should Watch To Keep Your Detective Skills Sharp In Quarantine

NBC

If you're like me, TV shows, or movies, are you're favorite to binge-watch. During this time of quarantine, i've had the time to catch up on some shows.

1. "Bones"

This TV show has a whopping 12 seasons, with around 23 episodes each season. This show has a great combination of crime, mystery, and romance.

"Bones" features an FBI agent and a Forensic Anthropologist that works at the "Jeffersonian Institution" in Washington D.C., which is a take on the actual Smithsonian of Washington D.C. If you haven't seen this show, it is a must. If you are in need of a binge worthy tv show, you should definitely watching this one.

2. "Criminal Minds"

I watched this show long before quarantine began, but I figured i'd throw it in here. As I am sure everyone knows about this show, everyone should watch it if they are interested in the mystery.

This show is more of a crime-solving show than anything and focuses on many disorders. "Criminal Minds'" final season ended back in February of this as season 15.

3. "Castle"

This show is similar to that of the previously mentioned "Bones". This show features a crime-writing novelist and a New York Detective.

This show is similar in many ways to "Bones", but sadly was cancelled after 8 seasons. The show, however, has wit as well as captivation. This is definitely a binge-worthy tv show.

4. "NCIS"

This show is on its 17th season, being on the air since 2003. I started watching this show back in high school, and have been watching it since. This show is not only based around homicide, but it also deals with espionage and terrorism.

Some of the characters in the show have left or been changed over the years, but this show remains to be one of the most successful crime tv shows in television history.

5. "Law & Order"

With there being multiple upon multiple different Law and Order shows, the one I am referring to is "Law and Order: SVU". This show has been on the air since 1999 and has recently been renewed for 3 more seasons.

Watching this show we see the characters grow over the years, as well as some characters leaving the show. This is expected, however, for a show that has been on for more than 20 years. To this day, "Law and Order: SVU" is one of the oldest shows on TV.

There are, of course, other great shows to watch during quarantine. I have watched several different ones, but for me, I really like crime oriented shows. If you are looking for a binge worthy crime show, any of these would be a great choice.

Stay safe.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
