10 New Release Shows To Binge-Watch On Netflix This Break
http://www.buzzfeed.com/

School's out! Winter break means catching up on sleep, spending time with loved ones, being thankful for life's blessings....and binge-watching shows on Netflix. Finding quality new shows can be a challenge sometimes, especially when searching through the endless abyss that is Netflix. On the other hand, googling for "new shows on Netflix" usually brings up a long list of mediocre television shows with terrible reviews, or old shows you've already watched three times over. To get a head start on this holiday's binge-watching marathon, ten newly released shows on Netflix have been hand-picked for your viewing pleasure! Read on to find your next Netflix obsession.

1. "Master of None"

For any fan of Aziz Ansari, or comedy in general, this is a must-binge-watch show! In this popular new sitcom, Ansari's character, Dev Shah, struggles to make decisions in his personal and professional life.

2. "Jessica Jones"

Another Netflix original series based in New York, "Jessica Jones" steers us away from Anzari's lighter comedy and towards the darker, crime-filled world of Marvel. After a tragedy ends her days as a superhero, Jessica Jones opens her own detective agency. Using her skills as a private eye, Jones works to find her tormentor before he harms another citizen of Hell's Kitchen.

3. "Cristela"

This is a fun show for anyone who can sympathize with wanting to following your dreams, even when family may not support you. While attempting to achieve the American dream, Cristela is hindered by her traditional Mexican-American family, who believe her goals are too lofty. While she struggles to bring together her traditional roots and her modern ambitions, the journey is full of joy and laughter.

4. "Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce"

After making her way as an author of self-help books and a guru to people with family troubles, Abby McCarthy's career screeched to a halt when the world found out she had separated from her husband. "Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce" follows McCarthy as she works to salvage her career and find her way in the world as a single woman.

5. "Gotham"

Any fan of Batman has to binge-watch "Gotham," if they haven't already! A prequel series, "Gotham" reveals how the heroes (and villains) of Gotham City got their start.

6. "Narcos"

The third Netflix original series on this list, "Narcos" is a gritty drama following the rise and fall of Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar and the DEA agents hunting him. Told from the points of view of Escobar himself, as well as DEA Agent Steve Murphy, "Narcos" gives insight into opposing sides of what would later become a full-out war.

7. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is another new, and popular, Netflix original series. A lighthearted comedy about a girl who is living life outside of a cult for the first time in 15 years, Kimmy Schmidt is a quirky, lovable character you just can't resist.

8. "Phineas and Ferb"

Although the much-loved show, "Phineas and Ferb," is not new to our television sets, it is new to Netflix! The show follows the incredible adventures and genius of Phineas and his step-brother, Ferb, as the two determine to make every day of summer fun. Although their older sister attempts daily to reveal the brothers' high-jinks to their parents, she is thwarted time and time again!

9. "NCIS"

Another show which we've dedicatedly watched for years, but is new to Netflix, "NCIS" follows a team of special agents as they solve homicides of naval officers. "NCIS" was specially made for any fan of crime-solving shows!

10. "Madam Secretary"

Newly appointed Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord struggles to balance her responsibilities in politics as well as family. The show follows foreign conflicts, gives insight into international affairs, and reveals a behind the scenes look at the duties of the Secretary of State.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
