Eight Shows to Check Out on Netflix

Unfortunately the summer has officially ended, which means we're back at school and in need of Netflix shows to watch while we procrastinate. If you're like me, and every other college student I've ever met, Netflix is an extremely important part of life. Not having a show to watch on Netflix is the absolute worst. So as you find yourself lounging around putting off an assignment, here are some shows you should definitely check out.

1. One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill is my favorite show of all time and if you haven't seen it, you definitely need to. Once you get into it, you become so invested in the characters and their relationships that it's unreal. It's super relatable watching the characters go from teenagers into adulthood, while they each face something that you can connect to.

2. Gilmore Girls

When I heard Gilmore Girls was coming to Netflix I got so excited. I used to watch this show on ABC Family everyday after school with my mom. I have such love for the main characters, Lorelai and Rory, and I think any woman can easily relate to both of them. Their mother-daughter relationship is so great to see and you will quickly fall in love with both of them.

3. Gossip Girl

I thought I wasn't going to like Gossip Girl, but then I started watching it. Once you start it, you'll be hooked for life. It's crazy to watch the super glamorous lifestyles that these teenagers live and the drama that they all face. This show is crazy and entertaining and relatable even if you're not a sixteen year old multi-millionaire.

4. Grey's Anatomy

I feel like everyone who watches this show is convinced that they could become a surgeon, but that just goes to show how much people connect with this series. I gave in and finally started watching last year and it was a great decision. This show will make you laugh and cry all while keeping you super entertained.

5. Hart of Dixie

I have been a huge fan of Rachel Bilson all the way back since her days on The O.C. Hart of Dixie is an adorable series that follows Rachel's character, Zoe, from New York City to Blue Bell, Alabama. This is a show that doesn't require too much brain power to watch, it's just mindless entertainment that never fails to make me smile.

6. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

This Netflix original series is crazy, hilarious, and unlike any other show out there. Kimmy's character is extremely quirky and funny to watch. Plus the theme song will get stuck in your head for days because it's so catchy.

7. Parks and Recreation

I've loved Amy Poehler since her days on SNL so getting into "Parks and Rec" was super easy for me. It's very similar to The Office, so if you are a fan of that show, than this one is for you. You are also going to fall in love with Aziz Ansari because he is hilarious.

8. The Vampire Diaries

This show is like my guilty pleasure because it is slightly embarrassing to say I watch. Regardless, this show is a lot better than I thought it was going to be and it is really easy to get hooked on. It's much different than other vampire type shows, and in my opinion, much more original.

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.

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.
