Netflix Series Worth Watching
Seeking Alpha

Let’s face it, no matter how old you are, how busy you are, or what’s going on in your life, there is always room for Netflix. If you’re like me, Netflix often becomes a distraction from schoolwork and life in general. I’ve watched nearly every show on Netflix worth watching, so if you’re in need of a new series to watch, try one of these.

1. Grey’s Anatomy - I would love to say that I’ve been a Grey’s Anatomy fan since day one; however, it wasn’t until my Netflix obsession occurred that I fell in love with Grey’s Anatomy and Shonda Rhimes. I’m an education major; however, I’m 99% sure I could also be a nurse or a doctor. When all else fails, push one of eppie.

2. One Tree Hill - I’m an awkward person when it comes to playing basketball; however, there’s so much more to One Tree Hill than just basketball. From season one to the end, I was torn on whether I loved or hated Dan Scott; however, my passion for Nathan and Lucas never ended. Hands down, this is one of my favorite shows on Netflix.

3. Shameless - Lip Gallagher is completely irresistible. Anyone who watches Shameless will instantly find themselves falling for a bad guy like Lip. Shameless is jam packed with drama, so much of it that is very relatable to real life.

4. Prison Break - Action and suspense are two words to describe this thrilling series. It’ll be sure to leave your stomach in a knot while tears begin rolling down your face. Watch out for the next season coming in April!

5. Gossip Girl - This show is sure to leave you feeling like a detective. Just when you think you’ve discovered who Gossip Girl is, you’re proven wrong. At the end of the show, you’ll be in complete and utter shock with who Gossip Girl really is. Xoxo, Gossip Girl.

6. Breaking Bad - Of course a high school chemistry teacher would make a perfect person to start up a meth lab. Even better yet, the high school chemistry teacher’s brother-in-law is a DEA agent. Interested in how that plays out? Check this series out.

7. Fuller House - I’m not sure about you, but I grew up watching Full House over and over again. Fuller House is a series where all the original Full House characters are grown up! This series is sure to make you reminisce the endless hours spent watching the original show. Even better yet, you’ll love seeing what the old characters look like now!

8. Private Practice - If you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan, you need to give Private Practice a try. It’ll take you into the life of Addison Montgomery as she works at a private practice. Although it isn’t as suspenseful as Grey’’s Anatomy, it’ll be sure to leave you feeling like you’ve gone to med school.

9. Scandal - Although it’s a woman, the famous Olivia Pope, that is in charge in this show, it’s still a show that males can become quite hooked on. Every episode is different from the last, but each one holds so much drama and suspense that leaves the viewer wondering what will happen next. Give it a try, it’s one of my favorites.

10. Orange Is The New Black - Drama hits an all-time high in this series that takes place in a women’s prison. The rivalry and friendship between Piper and Alex is a never-ending, confusing wheel.

Stop what you’re doing. It’s okay. You have time for just one episode. Just kidding, if you start any of these shows, you more than likely won’t get anything else accomplished, but do it; they are worth watching.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
