The Netflix List Of A 19-Year-Old College Student

netflixupdate.com

I am obsessed with Netflix. It’s fantastic. You can find a movie for a rainy night in, a show to binge watch on a Sunday, or even something to take your mind off the worries and stresses of everyday college life. I probably spend a little too much time watching things on Netflix. I can still appreciate the genius behind the ability to pay less than $10 a month for thousands of entertaining shows and movies.

My favorite features of Netflix are the List feature as well as the ability to have multiple profiles under one account. This feature means that if I use my dad’s Netflix account (thanks, Dad), I can have a separate profile in my name. So everything he is interested in and watches are found in his profile, and everything I like and watch is in my profile. Your List is a compilation of your favorite shows and movies you’ve come across on Netflix, as well as things you think sound good and you want to save for later.

In the spirit of summer break and the upcoming start to a new year at college, here are all 15 titles in my list on my Netflix account. Keep in mind I’m 19 and just finished my first year of college.

Criminal Minds

Criminal Minds is a staple in my life. I like to solve the cases before the team does. The cast is great. With 10 seasons available for viewing on Netflix, it’s likely you can watch this one for at least a few months.

Tarzan

This is the first of many Disney movies on my list. Tarzan is one hour and 28 minutes long, making it great for a study break filler or something to watch in between classes to get your mind off how much you dislike your last professor.

Lilo and Stitch

With a similar run time as Tarzan, Lilo and Stitch is fun, inviting, and heartwarming all at the same time. I like to pretend I can sing all the words of the opening song.

The Emperor’s New Groove

I actually learned a lot about Mesoamerica in this movie, even though it’s not 100% historically accurate. This is great for those “Ah! You through off my groove!” moments every college student has.

Lost

I recently re-watched all six seasons of Lost. It’s rather cheesy and now that I know the truth, it’s just not as good. However, sometimes I just need a little Dharma in my day.

Corpse Bride

I love Tim Burton movies. They are whimsical yet slightly creepy all at the same time. Corpse Bride is no exception. This movie is short and sweet, perfect for a busy college student.

The Road to El Dorado

This is another semi-educational one. Again, while not 100% accurate (there’s a city of gold, after all), the Road to El Dorado is funny enough for even the sleepiest young adult.

The Prince of Egypt

This movie is essentially the story of Moses from the Bible. Yes, it does have to do religion (not really my thing), but it has a great soundtrack and it is still an entertaining story.

Anastasia

This was one of my childhood favorites. To this day, I still enjoy it from time to time. I remember have a crush on Demetri when I was younger. Turns out he’s animated. So...

United States of Tara

United States of Tara is not for children. The show is three seasons of dissociative identity disorder and it’s HILARIOUS. It’s a must-see for every college student in need of a good laugh.

Antz

While a Bug’s Life is my number one bug movie, Antz is a good second. It’s entertaining, short, and about ants. What more could you want in a Dreamworks movie?

Chicken Run

What could be funnier than watching a bunch of fat, animated chickens try to jump a fence? Nothing. There is nothing funnier. Especially at two in the morning. You’re welcome.

Fixer Upper

You can find two seasons of Fixer Upper on Netflix. The house flipping show, based on Chip and Joanna Gaines from Waco, Texas, is by far my favorite on HGTV. This couple is as cute as can be, which just helps their case.

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

This movie, made in 1993, is older than I am. It is not a children’s movie like most of my list is. The cast includes Johnny Depp and Leo DiCaprio. They were so young! I suggest you check this one out.

Minions

The Minions movie is cute. Plain and simple. These little characters that resemble Twinkies set out on an adventure to find a new evil “boss”. I love it. Oh, and they don’t speak English.

As you can see, most of my List consists of kid movies. I have a love for Disney. I’m not talking Frozen (my least favorite children’s movie of all time). I’m talking late 1990s and early 2000s movies. And while an adult movie or show sneaks its way in every now and then, I think we can all clearly see I’m a child at heart. The truth is, movies made for children are just relaxing. They help you clear your mind from the stresses that come with college life. That’s what Netflix is all about, I suppose. If you don’t have an account yet, go get yourself one. You can thank me later.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

University of Akron

Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

Anytime you turn a corner the words "corner!" without you even realizing.

People are amazed at how professional you are when speaking to strangers, or on the phone

When we say "table 17 is on a bus", table 17 isn't LITERALLY on a bus.

You understand the frustration of the functions of another existing restaurant when going out to eat.

When you repeat the same spiel 40 times you start to sound like a lifeless robot.

The rush of prime dinner service. The chaos is riveting.

You have "that guy" at a table that makes you want to pull your hair out.

Getting stiffed an entire tip is worse than dealing with a difficult human being.

When you're sitting in a restaurant you don't dare interrupt your servers table presentation.

At the end of the night, you take the first opportunity you get to take a seat.

Not everything you learn in college can be found in a textbook.

Your self control and motivation directly correlate to how close the end of the semester is.

Group projects seem to be something created by the devil himself.

Remember when you were young and you knew everything there was to know? Wrong: you knew nothing.

If there is free food offered - go!

Never believe a professor when they tell you "Don't worry, this won't be on the test."

If you want a relationship with someone, it will take effort.

Check your email before you trudge all the way to class to find out it is cancelled.

You do not need a ton of friends, just a couple of really good ones.

Take the time to do what you love.

Every Saturday you will avoid doing homework like it is the plague. When Sunday rolls around you will complain that you have way too much stuff to do and not enough time to do it.

Your college experience is what you make of it.
