3 Hidden Netflix Gems To Binge This Summer

Are you looking for a new Netflix binge? Lucky for you, I have three hidden gems that you have to watch. They are often passed on because they are featured in different languages. However, you can always put on subtitles or even watch the dubbed version. For me, it's no big deal, but I know this isn't the case for everyone.

Although I would rather watch a shown in my native language, these shows can't be passed up. Babylon Berlin, which is in German, Elite in Spanish, and The Hater in Polish, all cover typical topics, but they all seem to try something new.

1. "Babylon Berlin"

"Babylon Berlin" has to be one of the best shows of all time, and others would surely agree with me.

The show sounds like an over-done concept as it takes place in Germany after World War I. Yet, like other shows on this list, it brings something new to the table. For example, the series has memorable characters and has amazing acting. It truly feels as though they are filming what actually happened in Germany during its tumultuous times.

2. "Elite"

Although, "Elite" is not better than "Babylon Berlin." However, it certainly deserves its chance to shine.

Again, the show covers an over-done concept as it is a high school drama. Nevertheless, like "Babylon Berlin," it's not your typical show and has a twist and turns that makes you want to binge-watch the entire season. For instance, the show is unpredictable as it explores a murder mystery in a private high school. This is what makes it unique and leaves me wanting to know what happens next.

3. "The Hater"

"The Hater" is certainly my kind of show.

It's dark, gritty, and sometimes it outright doesn't make sense.

The show tries to explore the political circumstances in Warsaw, Poland. Usually, I wouldn't say I like movies either, but this ultimately blew me away. It also teaches important lessons along the way. Namely, it talks about the dangers of video games and social media.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

winter

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.
