Shows That You Should Be Binging Right Now
Hacer Binge-Watching

Ah yes, a new school year. So many exciting things are upon us! Such as reuniting with friends, starting new classes, and getting back into various clubs and organizations. However the beginning of school signifies something special to me, the official start of 'Binging Season' coined by yours truly.

Now some of us may have been fortunate enough to start the season early over the summer. However, you're never truly binging a show unless you do so while putting off other responsibilities. As a certified 'Hoe for Netflix©', I can let you in on the greatest shows you may have already binged, may have just dabbled in, or straight up have never heard of.

Without further to do, here is your guide to procrastinating your fall semester away.

Bobs Burgers


Starting off with one of my personal favorites, this is an easy and fun show to keep up with. With episodes ranging at about 23 minutes long, you can breeze through this series on a long weekend. This show is certainly going to keep you laughing all through its marvelous 5 seasons!

Criminal Minds


What I feel is a typical show that everyone has watched at one time or another, I definitely suggest sitting down and binging this series through. OF course I've caught endless episodes during marathons on A&E, however watching the series in order gives such a greater experience. Watching them in spurts on TV, and out of order, it's easy to miss how much character development goes on throughout the series. Plus Spencer Reid is a total babe!

Young & Hungry

This a show that I feel hasn't gotten much recognition and is actually pretty great. It features Emily Osment (Formally Lilly Truscott) as an inspiring chef working for a young hot shot, and along his assistant and housekeeper. Again, the show features those 23 minute episodes, keeping things light and fun but also allow for real relationships to grow between the characters!

Arrow

I am a huge advocate for all things Superhero, and out of all of the shows I have superhero watched this has got to be one of my favorites. Arrow follows playboy millionaire Oliver Queen as he seeks vengeance on those who have wronged his city. The series can get pretty dark, and I suggest pairing it with The Flash (Also a fabulous show) because they often overlap and appear in one another's episodes! This show is super addictive, with an awesome cast and an always changing story line!

Once Upon A Time

Now if you're someone who loves fantasy and mystery, ABC's hit show is for you. Once Upon A Time centers around a young woman as she uncovers the truth about the fairy tales we have all grown up reading. The show is incredibly fast-paced and you'll find yourself watching the first season in a matter of days! Lucky for us season 5 just got put on Netflix!

Parks and Recreation

One of my all time favorite shows, Parks & Rec is an absolute must see. The quick episodes make it easy to breeze through all 7 of its magical seasons. The series is an Office-style environment with double the humor and heart. It's hard not to fall in love with these characters and in love with Pawnee. A must-see for anyone who likes to laugh, or wants to feel happiness.

Scandal

Obviously this list wouldn't be complete without a show from Queen Shonda, and it was extremely hard to choose a favorite. But alas, Scandal won out. This show has turns that you can't see coming, starring the perfect Kerry Washington as DC Fixer, Olivia Pope. If you have a problem, or an issue that you don't want to see hit headlines, Pope & Associates have you covered. The drama and brilliance of the characters make this a nail-biting binger.

All these shows and their seasons can be found on Netflix, Happy Binging!!

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
