After hours and hours of binge-watching, I have prepared the ultimate list of must-watch Netflix shows. These shows have it all, whether you're looking for a quick binge or a lengthy thriller.

1. "The Stranger"

If you're into thrillers with lots of twists and turns, cliff hangers, and complete shock, then this show is for you. When a dad is approached by a mysterious stranger and given the earth-shattering news that his wife faked her miscarriage, Adam Price must uncover the secrets and lies not only in his marriage but in the community he lives in.

I wish I could watch this show again for the first time. Definitely a must-see.

2. "Cheer"

If you're looking for a quick binge, then this show is perfect for you. With only one season and eight episodes, I easily finished this show in two days (could've in one, but I felt guilty). This has the perfect amount of drama, tearjerkers, and excitement for the perfect binge.

3. "Locke & Key"

This show reminds me of Narnia in the best way possible. After their father is murdered, three kids and their mother move to their late father's family house, the Keyhouse. Once they arrive, they find mysterious keys that open doors to magical alternate realities. The catch: there's an insidious being also looking for these keys.

4. "Dirty John"

This bone-chilling show is actually based on a true story. That might be the scariest part of this show. The eight-episode series follows Debra Newell, a single mom working as an interior designer in Newport Beach. With some convincing, she starts online dating. She soon realizes that this perfect man she met online is not at all what he seems to be.

5. "Tyler Perry's A Fall From Grace"

Okay, this one isn't a show, but I felt inclined to talk about it after talking about "Dirty John." It has a somewhat similar plot, but it is a movie, so it's much less of a commitment to make. This movie is told through Grace Water's conversations in jail with her lawyer. After being convicted of her husband's murder and attempting to plead guilty, her lawyer decides to dig a little deeper and uncovers the horrifying truth about Grace's relationship.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
