5 Netflix Shows To Watch When You Need to De-Stress

Sometimes life is very turbulent and you need some solid television to sink your teeth into without having to focus intensely but are still extremely enjoyable.

These show picks may seem very random, but they all have very specific but amazing and important quality in common. They all have the ability to transport you to their world and make you feel better. So yes, all of these shows have made me stop worrying about whatever is going on, whether that be school, coronavirus, or more.


"Avatar: The Last Airbender"

Giphy

This show is in my opinion, the best children's cartoon to exist, simply because it transcends the genre. It's an enjoyable show for everyone, young and old. It has its messages of peace, family, and friendship sprinkled in with humor and heavier topics of death and war. Not to mention what is called one of the best redemption arcs put to television.

"Legend of Korra"

Speaking of "Avatar: The Last Airbender", "Legend of Korra" is its sequel. It follows a great new protagonist, Korra, a new group of friends, and villains, while still holding onto both light and dark themes. It too is enjoyable for all ages and is very entertaining.

"Elite"

Giphy

This show is a teen drama from Spain that is amazing. It has a talented cast that really brings the drama for three seasons of what you thought high school would be. It has murders, parties, gossip, and everything you need to turn your brain off and be enthralled.

"Final Table"

This Netflix original is a cooking competition of the highest caliber. A good portion of the contestants already have successful restaurants and Michelin stars and are simply competing to beat other highly ranked chefs. The premise is that each episode, the pairs of chefs must cook a different cuisine from a country around the world.

I highly recommend watching with food being eaten or already eaten as the show will make you hungry.

"Terrace House"

This Japanese reality show is unlike any other I've ever seen. It is not focused on starting up any drama or have any crazy gimmick. The show puts a group of six young adults in an amazing house and see how they interact. They still keep their jobs, and travel around wherever they are. They just form friendships and relationships and live their lives. There is also a separate group of commentators outside of the house who are hilarious and bring up the occasional tense mood.

It is unlike any show out there and is both extremely calming to watch as well as interesting.

Enjoy these amazing shows!

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.
