Eleven Things On Netflix You Probably Watched Over Christmas Break

Because I read minds.

Eleven Things On Netflix You Probably Watched Over Christmas Break
4K

We all know what Christmas Break is for: watching an unheavenly amount of Netflix. For this article, I am going to go ahead and try to guess what you guys spent the month watching.

1. "Master of None"

Aziz Ansari's new show is literally his book but in fiction form. Which is great, because his book, "Modern Romance," was enlightening, easy to read and educational. A take on the millennial approach to love,and dating, this series is for anyone who wants to get analytical about our generation and watch something enjoyable at the same time.

2. "Making a Murderer"

This docuseries tells the story of Steven Avery, a man accused of the murder of a 25-year-old after spending two decades behind bars for a crime he did not commit. Highly publicized, and widely talked about, it has garnered a lot of attention.

3. "Law and Order: SVU"

Because you know how to live your life right. You just do.

4. "The West Wing"

Walk and talk my friends. Whether you love or hate Aaron Sorkin, someone in your family probably has strong opinions on "The West Wing." And someone in your family probably watches reruns when they have the time. Reliving the Bartlett White House happens on occasion. It's natural. It's fine.

5. "How to Get Away With Murder"

Shonda Rhimes made you do it. I know she did. But it's worth watching. This Viola Davis drama on ABC has garnered a lot of attention over the last year. And it coined the term, "Bitch baby," whatever that means.

6. John Mulaney's Stand-Up Special

The only things I knew about John Mulaney before watching this were: he had a hilarious bit about Ice-T on "Law and Order: SVU," and he looks like the guy from the band Fun. This special opened me up to some of his other material, and it was a great way to spend a lazy Friday night with my family.

7. Bill Murray's Christmas Special

My family is really bad at Christmas so the whole present opening process on Christmas morning lasts about four minutes and 37 seconds. So we are forced to find other ways to spend Christmas Day before eating dinner. While my brother and I in our teens usually watched the Narnia movies back to back, such a tradition died out inexplicably. This Christmas morning, we watched "A Very Murray Christmas." It's a lot of familiar SNL faces, and light-hearted humor, perfect for a Christmas morning.

8. "Jessica Jones"

I will be perfectly honest. I could not get into this show. However, a large majority of Netflix watchers did. A new show about a Marvel superhero, "Jessica Jones" is getting a lot of praise and accolades. Definitely something to check out if you like that genre.

9. "Narcos"

A series about Pablo Escobar, one of the biggest drug dealers of all time, that has been gaining a lot of attention.

10. "Portlandia"

Because making fun of hipsters is now hipster.

11. "Friday Night Lights"

Because clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

And as for what I personally watched over break, which no one else did: "The Mysteries of Laura" because it's about me, obviously.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
