Picture this. You are sitting in your dorm on a rainy day absolutely bored and cannot think if anything to do. You begin to look on social media and come across this article... And what is this article about you may ask? Well, here it is. Ever wonder what to do when there is nothing to do? Watch Netflix! When you are in college, Netflix is going to be your best friend on lonely nights or at times where you just want to relax and enjoy yourself. Now, what I suggest is that, if you become a frequent "Netflixer" like me, you will learn that there are so many great television shows on there that you cannot decide where to start. This is where I step in and help. Here are my top two television shows a college student should watch.
"How I Met Your Mother"
At first I was very iffy on whether or not I should watch this show. After watching the first episode, I was hooked. This show is about a group of five friends who live in New York City and love to hang out in a bar together. The group consists of Ted (the romantic who can never seem to find his one), Barney (the womanizer who secretly wants a wife and a family), Robin (the Canadian who pursues her dream career while discovery what she really wants in life), Marshall (the Minnesota man who dreams of saving the world one day, whether it is being an environmental lawyer or a judge), and finally, Lily (an inspiring artist who has been together with Marshall for 12 years and is a kindergarten teacher). It is a great show containing comedy, some drama and can relate to groups of friends.
"Grey's Anatomy"
I am sure many of you have heard of the well known television show "Grey's Anatomy." Like HIMYM, at the beginning, I thought I would not like this show, but after a few episodes I could not get enough of the show. I binge watched it for night on end. It is about doctors in a hospital and their every day struggle to be one, and what goes on behind closed doors...literally. The viewer also gets a glimpse of the drama that goes on, in regards to relationships, family and other personal issues. In the first three seasons, there is George O'Malley, Izzie Stevens, Alex Karev, Meredith Grey, Derek Sheppard, Miranda Bailey, and Richard Webber. Later on, other doctors come aboard while some either die or leave. I know there are many nurses who like this show just as much as I do, and they probably understand the show better than I do. Overall, this show can keep you on your toes and all the while make you fall in love with each of their characters.
