I Asked 13 College Students What Their Favorite Netflix Binge is

Everything you need to keep you occupied this summer.

13 Reasons Why https://www.instagram.com/p/BkoFh3LllhZ/?hl=en&taken-by=13reasonswhy

Let's be honest: we all love Netflix. Even though we often complain that it doesn't have all the shows we want or that it keeps taking down the good movies, we still love watching Netflix, whether it be after a long day or to avoid doing homework. Netflix is extremely popular amongst us college students and I'm always looking for new shows to watch besides the common classic ones, so I asked a few college students for their most recent favorites on Netflix.

1. The Office

Yeah, it's popular and overrated, but never gets old. All the "that's what she said" jokes and the Jim/Pam drama will always keep us entertained. And the best part? You can start at any episode and still know EVERYTHING that's going on! Personally, I don't find it as interesting as others, especially after Michael leaves, but I'll still watch a few episodes here and there.

2. Dear White People

Not to watch if you're easily offended, but this show highlights racial conflicts a group of black students face in a majority white college. Might not be for everyone, but I've watched a couple episodes, and it's not the worst...or the best either.

3. Arrested Development

I've watched the first 3 seasons and honestly fell in love with the show. It's just the punniest with such an outrageous, out-of-the-world storyline. The fourth season on the other hand...

4. Friends

Need I say more?

5. Death in Paradise

One of my personal favorites, this is a British-French detective show set in the beautiful Caribbean islands. It is very interesting with a new murder plot every episode featuring quirky and funny detectives, as well as lovely British slang and humor.

6. Great British Baking Show

Another British show. Great! I've never watched an episode, but who doesn't love cooking shows and British accents?

7. Narcos

Another popular show that gives a great history lesson as well. I remember watching some episodes for my World Geography class and actually understanding the context of it.

8. Parks and Recreation

Similar to The Office, this show is full of dry humor and quirky characters. Who doesn't love bosses who take themselves wayyy too seriously?

9. Riverdale

I remember when I used to devotedly watch every new episode each week. The love triangles and attractive characters might keep you intrigued, but the plot just died down in the end, in my honest opinion. And it will hit you in the nostalgia feels as it stars one of my favorite former Disney Channel actors, Cole Sprouse.

10. Stranger Things

No explanation needed.

11. Family Guy

I'm glad someone said this, because this is definitely my favorite animated series. From Peter Griffin's silly antics to the Brian/Stewie drama, this show will always keep you laughing.

12. Breaking Bad

Not my current personal favorite, but I was definitely a fan back when it aired. But I'm always down to watch my favorite episode of the whole series, "Better Call Saul."

13. 13 Reasons Why

If you're not familiar with this show, where have you been? It covers the lives of high schoolers after one of their friends commits suicide and leaves them all mysterious tapes on why she did it. Critics praise it for shedding light on serious issues amongst teens while others say it's too serious and slightly unrealistic.

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.

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.
