Must Watch Netflix Shows

The reason you don't live the couch for hours

There is a handful of shows that every person should see beginning to end simply because they are great. Here is a few that you must check out

1. One Tree Hill

It's a classic — the show has all the most outrageous scenarios, deaths, relationships and excitement. You feel like you grew up in Tree Hill, North Carolina by the end of the first season. Also, the Scott brothers aren't bad either.

2. Grey's Anatomy

My recent obsession. This shows gives you the knowledge that makes you feel like you are a surgeon yourself. The love story that everyone loves to love of Derek Shepard and Meredith Grey will keep you watching episodes for hours upon hours.

3. Friday Night Lights

Two words: Texas Forever. This is a classic American high school football show. It's for everyone whether you enjoy football or not this show has everything and so much more to offer.

4. The Office

L-O-L. This show cracks you up. The humor is so dry and the characters are so original, they will keep you laughing the entire episode.

5. FRIENDS

Obsessed with "Friends." There is a storyline of relationships, jobs, living arrangements etc. but you can basically flip on any episode and enjoy it. There is comedy and romance. Watching this show makes you feel like you live in Monica's apartment too. They make your heart full.

6. Stranger Things

My roommates and I knocked this Netflix original show in about a week and a half. There are eight one hour episodes and they are worth every second of your undivided attention. It is probably considered sci-fi ish, but it is SO good. That's the only way to describe it. It's a little creepy, a little scary, a little funny, a little heart-warming, and a little addicting. watch it.

7. ESPN 30 for 30

ESPN "30 for 30" documentaries are on Netflix and if you're a sports fan, I highly suggest you watch all of them. They will not disappoint.

The list goes on and on of intriguing and addicting shows on Netflix to indulge in, but these are the few that I have seen every episode (except for Grey's I'm working on that now!) and loved every minute of it. Check them out in your free time!

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.
