Old Shows To Add To Your Summer Binge List

Old Shows To Add To Your Summer Binge List
The Odyssey

The youngest among my siblings, I was exposed to a variety of older shows that my friends had never heard of. Although I love The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, the following series are undoubtedly my favorites. (They are all available on Hulu or Netflix). If you’re looking for summer adventure and romance from the comfort of your couch, invest your time in these Generation Y hits:

21 Jump Street

(April 12, 1987 – April 27, 1991)

NOT THE MOVIE! Many people aren’t aware that the Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill blockbuster was actually based off of the television series where Johnny Depp got his start. This undercover cop show features a crew of funny, stylish and lovable policemen who disguise themselves as high school students to bust drug dealers, prostitution rings and other high profile criminals. I guarantee you will love it way more than the movie! (Young Johnny Depp….enough said).

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

(March 10, 1997 – May 20, 2003)

Did you love Alyson Hannigan in American Pie and How I Met Your Mother? Then you are sure to love her in her witchy, computer geek role as the Slayer’s best friend. This is my all-time favorite series. If you are looking to join a gang of inseparable friends on their journey to fight the forces of evil, start Netflixing immediately. This show has it all: the adventure, the action, the romance, the laughter and the tears.

Stargate SG1

(July 27, 1997 – March 13, 2007)

Although this show is not very widely known, it is well worth your time and attention. Follow the elite Air Force Team on their journey across the galaxy and in their fight against terrifying aliens who want to destroy Earth. This 10 season series will take you on an adventure in every episode, and if you still want more you can watch Stargate Atlantis, an awesome spinoff with even more terrifying, life-sucking aliens. However, avoid the second spin off, Stargate Universe…this time it will actually suck the life out of you.

Charmed

(October 7, 1998 – May 21, 2006)

Beautiful witches, cool spells, and scary demons, what else could one ask for from a show? These sisters fight not only for their family, but for the good of humankind. Every episode is a new quest to solve a mystery and defeat a villain. It is a heartwarming and suspenseful classic that you must watch!

Alias

( September 30, 2001- May 22, 2006)


Jennifer Garner like you have never seen her before, as a badass CIA double agent. In a new disguise each episode, she must discover her own family secrets, collect information and hunt down dangerous technology to take down terrorists that threaten not only the United States, but the whole world. This show is sure to captivate you with its burning romances, heartbreaking losses, shocking betrayals, impressive fight scenes and dramatic reveals.

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?
