Netflix

Netflix is one of the best streaming sources to ever exist. A Netflix binge session is honestly therapeutic; no matter what your mood, there's the perfect show to waste your life watching from beginning to end. These 7 series are totally worth investing yourself in, they'll break your heart and heal it over and over again.

1. Freaks and Geeks

Freaks and Geeks is set in the life of a teenage girl circa 1980 and has all the funny and all the serious of real life. A one season binge will last you about a day, but sometimes that's all you have!

2. Parks and Recreation

Parks and Rec is a funnier Office- yep, I said it! This show will have you laughing until you cry, and sometimes crying until you laugh (when you realize how silly it is to be crying). Parks and Rec is made for everyone; there are so many different characters with such diverse personalities, there is always someone to connect with. Sometimes, I can't tell if I'm Leslie Knope or April Ludgate. This series has 7 seasons, all available on Netflix, so it'll definitely take up at least a week of your life.

3. New Girl

New Girl is the most awkward show ever, but it's so good. I mean you can't watch this show without actually cringing at the crazy situations these friends get themselves into. But at the same time their relationship will actually make you whole, they all love each other so much and that is what makes New Girl so much more than a comedy. This is a great Netflix Binge series because there are 6 seasons on Netflix, all with 20+ episodes, and still another season coming up on television. It feels good to finish a show, but it feels so much better when you know it isn't over forever.

4. Gilmore Girls

GILMORE GIRLS IS THE BEST!!!! You cannot watch Gilmore Girls without subconsciously becoming a "Gilmore Girl" yourself. This mother-daughter relationship is actually the best thing to ever happen to the world. Every episode perfectly distributes all the feels, and leaves you wanting more. Right now is actually the best time to totally fall in love with this show, because Netflix has all 7 seasons and they're debuting a long overdue 4 part special on Black Friday- so start the binge right away!

5. United States of Tara

I have to start out by saying, you will be so disappointed with this show by the end but it is so worth it. This show is like no other, it focuses on a housewife with uncontrollable multiple personality disorder. Everything about United States of Tara is so weird, so hilarious, and so sad- and Showtime only gave us 3 short seasons. It ends so abruptly and leaves you wanting more, but thanks to Netflix you can just watch it time and time again until your heart can't take the feels.

6. Weeds

Weeds was the first show I ever gave away my social life for; that was the first time I realized how great having Netflix at my fingertips really was/is. The story line is actually insane- a widowed soccer mom who starts selling a little dirt pot to support her kids, and then it gets crazier and crazier every season. Nancy Botwin is such a badass and binge watching Weeds basically makes her your friend- right? Well I think it does, and you can feel that way for an 8 season Netflix binge because there's no way not to binge on the Botwins.

7. Parenthood

Parenthood is my newest Netflix addiction, and I am loving every minute of it. Parenthood makes me feel like a Braverman. - Can you tell Netflix has given me like a thousand new families? - There is so much going on and it is so relatable with the massive amount of family crises, because we all know we have crazy family drama. Netflix has all 6 seasons of the best family drama available, and you won't want to stop once you start.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
