Netflix Favs For Winter Break Binging

Movie Time!

Netflix Favs For Winter Break Binging

Since the time for snow is just around the corner, I figured I'd give you an insight on a few of my favorite Netflix shows and movies because snow days are the best for staying in bed and watching Netlfix!

1. "The Ivory Game"

Leonardo DiCaprio produced "The Ivory Game" as an awareness film against trafficking with elephant tusks.

2. "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life"

They're back: Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, in four 90-minute chapters moving through the seasons. Other WB returnees include Kelly Bishop, Scott Patterson and Keiko Agena.

3. "Easy"

Sex, tech and culture intersect in a Chicago-set half-hour anthology from filmmaker Joe Swanberg. This short includes Orlando Bloom, Marc Maron, Malin Akerman, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Hannibal Buress.

4. "Haters, Back Off'

Totally untalented star Miranda Sings, on YouTube, pursues her big-time dreams in eight-episode comedy from YouTube favorite Colleen Ballinger. Also stars "Office" star Angela Kinsey and "Eastbound & Down" dude Steve Little.

5. "Stranger Things"

If you haven't seen it, you've heard about it: Netflix's runaway success of summer 2016 is jam-packed with '80 nostalgia. Winona Ryder plays the mom whose son's disappearance is at the center of simultaneous investigations involving the police, his friends and a mysterious girl with unusual powers.

6. "The Ranch"

Ashton Kutcher comedy finds a failed footballer returning to his Colorado ranch clan.

7. "Making A Murderer"

If you've been able to resist the hype surrounding the Netflix true crime documentary, what are you waiting for? The 10-part series is extremely dense, and while it can be slow at times, stick with it for the curveballs.

8. "Jane The Virgin"

In "Jane The Virgin," Gina Rodriguez stars as a virgin determined to wait until marriage... until her doctor accidentally artificially inseminates her, mistaking her for the wife of the manager at the hotel where she works. That's when the complications begin.

9. "Friends"

The Internet collectively lost its mind when the complete adventures of Joey, Phoebe, Monica, Chandler, Ross and Rachel became available on Netflix on Jan. 1, and with good reason. How better to bring in the holidays than by binging on one of the best sitcoms of all time?

10. "Law and Order: SVU"

An edgy drama following police investigating the most twisted of crimes. Even Seth Rogen can't turn it off, confessing on Twitter recently, "there is no limit to the amount of Law and Order: SVU I can watch in a single sitting." Same, Seth, same.

11. "The Blacklist"

The hit drama stars James Spader as a terrorist helping the U.S. nab other baddies for reasons unknown. Newcomers can catch up with the entire first season on Netflix.

12. "Roseanne"

The perfect casting, the witty writing, the depictions of blue-collar life that so many Americans can relate to -- there's just so much to love about "Roseanne." Fans will likely have one gripe: Netflix is currently featuring a "collection" of episodes, rather than full seasons. But a sampling of the Conner clan is better than nothing!

Now, those are only a few of my favorites. Pick one, grab your blanket and a snack, and enjoy!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
