Netflix Shows to Binge Over Break
Shameless

If you're a college student, you've likely got lots of time to be home for break. While it can be really nice being home for a few days at first, after a while you can feel confused. Once you get used to having the freedom to do what you want when you want it, being back under your childhood roof can be difficult. However, it's also nice to just relax and enjoy your time to do nothing but eat, spend time with family, and binge watch all those tv shows you've been saving up throughout the semester. For those of you looking for a new show to fill all the time with, here's a few to become newly obsessed with.

1. Stranger Things

If you haven't seen this show yet, now is the time to start. It's an 80s sci-fi drama about a group of kids whose friend goes missing and have to work to solve the mystery of his disappearance. Filled with gritty angst, lots of 80s home decor, and a soundtrack full of New Order, you can't go wrong with this show.

2. Shameless

I only just started Shameless, but I've already worked my way through two seasons and am obsessed. Following the story of alcoholic Frank and his children living in Southside Chicago, Shameless is a portrait of neurotic, ingenious, and impoverished America- a subset of people who blend in well with the real world but are doing all they can to make ends meet. Each character on the show has great development, and each provides a different lesson for the watcher. It's well paced and humorous, with just enough conflict to push it along.

3. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

I wasn't as much of a fan of the four new Gilmore Girls episodes as I had hoped I would be, but at an hour-and-a-half each, they make a great binge-watch. If you've already seen the previous seven seasons of the show (if you haven't, that's a great thing to start watching), you'll understand how nice it is to come back to such a familiar plot. The new episodes feature old characters and new, and provide twists and turns fitting for the Stars Hollow crowd. Let's just hope they keep going with the revival and add new episodes explaining those last four words.

4. The Crown

The Crown tells the story of young Queen Elizabeth as she navigates the difficulties of an ascent to the throne. With gorgeous scenery, fantastic acting, and a historical storyline, the show is perfect to watch when you need something new and different. It finally gives a voice to a queen everyone knows but never truly understood, and provides insight into the workings of monarchy and corruption of government, leaving the watcher captivated and enchanted by the world of 20th century England.

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.

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.
