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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
