4 Reasons Why 'Sick Note' Should Be Your Next Binge Watch
Netflix

Post-graduation life has me ready to start working, and as I'm waiting on my start date, I'm not used to having this incredible amount of free time. Cue: Netflix. Instead of re-binging "the Office", "Parks and Rec", or "Friends" for like the fifth time in 2018, I decided to give a new show a try - and proceeded to binge in under 2 days. A total of two seasons - 14 episodes - 20 minutes each will still keep you wanting more.

Admittedly, season one, in my opinion, is funnier than the second season, but I'll still be the first to watch if there will be a season three.

1. Rupert Grint

Because when was the last time you saw Ron Weasley act in something? In this dark comedy, Grint portrays a character who - despite not being the most ethical person - the audience is still rooting for. (Or at least I was)

2. Quirky, dark sense of humor

The first episode quickly goes from a misdiagnosed terminal illness to accidental murder... within 20 minutes. But despite such a seemingly serious premise, the show still finds a way to be uniquely silly. There's not too much I can say here without spoiling plot elements or jokes, but just know there were definitely points when I was laughing out loud.

3. The characters

While Grint's character drives the show as the protagonist, Nick Frost playing a bumbling, goofy doctor is also guaranteed to provide entertainment. Not to mention, 2000's kids have a further reason to rejoice as Lindsey Lohan joins the cast in season two.

4. Cliffhangers

As I said, every ending will be keeping you wanting to hit the "next episode" button.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
