Sometimes you just really need a study break and to treat yo' self to some relaxation time! And a great way to do this is through Netflix! Below are some of my favorite shows and ones I recommend if you just really need that break.

1. "New Girl" 

"New Girl" is my most recent obsession. Between the amazing chemistry and the cast, the funny one-liners, and crazy events this show is quickly one of the most entertaining things to watch. It also is one of those that you don't need to watch every episode in order to understand. I had seen a few episodes here and there and then just started watching the third season last week and I haven't stopped laughing since.

2. "Queer Eye" 

This is not quite the same as one of those 25 minute shows you can watch anytime as these episodes are typically about 50 minutes. But this show is workload SO good. It is 5 queer guys who make over straight men in 5 different areas: food, fashion, house, social, and physical makeovers. Each of the guys are so funny and loveable, not to mention that this show is quite emotional as each episode pulls you in with a story and a new regular person to root for! It's a great study break pass time.

3. "Friends" 

This show is a classic. It's easily the most rewatchable show I've ever seen. It doesn't matter if I've seen an episode once or ten times, I still laugh every single time and can pick it up and watch it anytime. It's a 10/10 recommend if you catch yourself stressing too much about school and just need a little break.

4. "Parks and Recreation"

This show is my favorite show of all time. Not only is it hilarious it also has characters that you genuinely root for and fall in love with and within the hilarity of each show there is also character development, a solid plot line, and just a family of people that you wish the very best for. I could watch this show anytime and be so content. If you haven't seen it it's a must add. And, not to ruffle up any feathers-- but it's better than "The Office."

5. "Atypical" 

This show might not be a study break, get your mind off everything type show but it's certainly a good one to watch. It is a Netflix Original about a teenage boy with autism. It's a story about him and the challenges he faces at high school as well as at home with his very dynamic family. Netflix just dropped the second season, and I highly recommend watching this show from the beginning. It's truly heartwarming and just a good one.

Hope all y'all out there are surviving in the workload! Remember grades are important, but sometimes you need to take a break and I hope now you have some options of what to watch in that break! :)

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
