My 5 Go-To Netflix Shows For This Holiday Season

With Christmas break upon us, it's suddenly the season for constant guilt-free Netflix binge sessions. To ring in the new season, here are my go to shows on Netflix.

5. The Crown

If you're a fan of royal scandals or you feel like you may have an old soul, I'd definitely recommend The Crown. After all, don't we all kind of dream about being a princess or queen or even to just marry into the Royal Family? (@Meghan Markle, you got lucky girl. I called dibs on Prince Harry anyways!!) This show gives a look at the life of Queen Elizabeth and just how much she's gone through along her very long reign. It's a great watch, and even better the new season came out this past week!



4. Stranger Things

Stranger Things is definitely one of those shows that you just gotta watch to realize you'll love it. It's probably one of the weirdest, nerdiest, coolest shows on Netflix, plus it's fairly new. With such an awesome cast (yes, that's Winona Ryder!), it's no wonder that everyone is buzzing about Stranger Things.

3. Grey's Anatomy

There are so many good and bad things about Grey's Anatomy. The love, the power, and the surgery. Not to mention the fact that Meredith Grey is the queen of monologues! Grey's Anatomy just screams, "Pick me. Choose me. Love me." Caution: Harnesses on the emotional roller coaster often don't work.

2. Gilmore Girls


Although this is my second choice, it takes #1 in my heart. Nothing will ever be able to replace the love and laughter of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. Not only is the story line behind this show fantastic, but it's relatable in almost every aspect. Especially if you're a coffee lover(; If you're looking for a feel good time and minimal frustration, this is the show for you.

1. The Secret Life of the American Teenager

I don't know what it is, but TV shows that include both drama and romance are my absolute guilty pleasure. This one can definitely be considering an oldie considered it was back when ABC Family was still ABC Family (no one likes Freeform it's okay). The Secret Life of the American Teenager is about a teenager who gets knocked up at band camp one year after having sex for the first time. Her life is nothing but dull, and sometimes it gives you the feels. Shailene Woodley stars as Amy Jergens in this relatable teen drama.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
