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

In This Article:

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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
