Best Netflix Shows for When You're Procrastinating Studying for Finals

I don't know about you, but I just can't study for 12 hours a day. Here's some shows to watch when you aren't feeling hitting the books.

Best Netflix Shows for When You're Procrastinating Studying for Finals

Classes are over and finals have begun. This means it's time to make use of the $14 I pay each month for my Netflix subscription. These are some of my favorite shows at the moment, and even some I re-watch all the time.

Atypical

I actually just started watching this show two days ago, and I am already on almost finished with it. Atypical is about a young adult with autism and his family, who are constantly adapting to changes in their lives. This is a great show because it has a captivating plot, but it's also funny. It's serious, but not too serious, if you know what I mean.

The Office (of course)

Who doesn't watch The Office at least once a week? If you live under a rock, and have never seen The Office, it's about a paper company and follows the daily lives of its workers. This is actually a good show to play in the background while doing homework.

Shameless

This one is really interesting. It's about a lower-class family and their struggles with life. The plot is good and the humor is even better. Make sure to set aside a lot of time if you're going to start watching this because you will NOT stop.

You

If you've heard anything about this show, you might be a little creeped out. Basically, a guy becomes obsessed with this girl he meets and stalks her. Like hardcore. It's really different and interesting if you're tired of watching love-entwined shows or cooking channels.

Santa Clarita Diet

This one is really, really interesting. The main character eats a special, magical oyster, which turns her into an undead zombie, who survives off fresh human flesh. The show follows her family as it struggles to adapt to her new lifestyle. This is actually one of the funniest shows I've watched in a long time, and I would definitely recommend.

Black Mirror

Apparently I'm just really into weird shows. Black Mirror is basically criticizing society's dependence on technology. Each episode is in a new world, with different characters. If you like sci-fi, then you should definitely give this show a try.

Altered Carbon

Set in the 23rd century, Altered Carbon is about a man who has been sent to the future, which he tried to stop. Souls are transferable and everything is ruled by technology. Again, if you're into sci-fi, you'll love this.

There you go, a complete list of awesome shows to keep your mind off the stress of finals. You're welcome.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
