Summer is finally here and there is no looking back! That means no school, hanging out with friends and family, going camping, and doing whatever you want all day long. If one of your favorite things to do is binge watch Netflix or Hulu, or even cable television (if you can afford that luxury as a poor college student), then here are some awesome shows to get hooked on.

1. Grace and Frankie

"Grace and Frankie" is an endearing show about two women in their 60s trying to figure out their new lives as single women after their husbands left them...for each other. It's funny, sweet, and an instant favorite. It's also been renewed for a 5th season, which will feature to feature the fabulous Ru Paul!

2. Stranger Things


Think "Ghost Busters" but the ghosts are now Demogorgons and the "Ghost Busters" are middle school students. Set in the 80's, this show is nostalgic for simpler times and popular culture. You'll definitely get caught Upside Down while watching this show.

3. A Series of Unfortunate Events

In case you were trapped under a rock in middle school and high school, "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" was one of the most popular book series to read. It was suspenseful, dramatic, adventurous, and funny. It was everything we wanted in order to escape the daily routine of classrooms and homework. Newly created with Neil Patrick Harris as the dastardly Count Olaf, you'll want to keep an eye out for that eye tattoo.

4. Orange is the New Black

Based off the true story of Piper Kerman, "OITNB" is a wild ride from beginning to end expressing the lives of women inside prisons and even the struggles they face when their time is over. It will keep you hooked all summer long.

5. Jessica Jones

If you want a show with a strong woman who can kick some a**, then this is it. Based off the graphic novel, "Jessica Jones" is about a woman who has her own detective agency but doesn't want to save the world, it's just getting through the day.

6. Black Mirror

"Black Mirror" features episode dramas that will creep you out like the "Twilight Zone." Featuring many celebrities, this series makes for an weird eye opening show.

7. The Crown

Who doesn't love a woman in charge, especially of an entire country? In "The Crown," you'll get a woman who's a mother, a wife, and a Queen all at the same time and she handles it like a boss.

8. Luke Cage

Hello tall, dark, and handsome. "Luke Cage" is an invincible man due to a sabotaged experiment, which left him with super strength and skin you cannot break. With tie ins to "Jessica Jones," you won't want to miss this man getting some women and wrecking some bad guys.

9. Dear White People

"Dear White People" is a series that tells the stories of students of color who live at Winchester University, which is a predominately white student body. They are faced with politics, stereotypes, injustices, and activism which ties in to currents events that are happening now.

10. Master of None

If you were a "Parks and Rec" fan, then you'll love this show. Aziz Ansari comes back again with his own show as the lovable Dev from New York just trying to live his best life. The show is loosely based off of the real life experiences of just trying to figure out who you are and who you want to become.

11. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

An upbeat, cheerful series about a finally freed "Mole Woman" from an underground bunker by a crazed cult leader, Kimmy tries to navigate her new life outside of the bunker. She finally gets to do all of the things that she never got to do like eating candy for dinner, getting a job, and going to school. Her cheerfulness is contagious and it will have you seeing the upside to everything too!

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.
