I have always been a big viewer of so many television shows. I have watched dramas like ABC/CMT's "Nashville". I have watched comedies like NBC's "Parks and Recreation". I watch reality tv shows like E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". I have watched crime thrillers like NBC's "The Blacklist".

One of my favorite free time activities is watching TV or streaming Netflix or Hulu.

I know in this day in age, a lot of people prefer to watch their favorite television shows on streaming services or on demand because people don't want to watch commercials. They are boring and repetitive.

Binge watching has become a normal thing in our lives over the past six years or so because of on demand and streaming services

On my social media feeds, I always see my friends asking for recommendations for old or new television shows to binge watch on Netflix and Hulu.

They are so many shows out there to watch. I didn't even know how to begin creating a list of shows you can binge watch next but I tried to the best I could with shows I loved to binge watch by myself or with my friends.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
