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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
