Summer TV Preview: What To Watch

From The Bachelorette to Game of Thrones, this summer has too many returning hit shows to count.

Summer TV Preview: What To Watch
NME.com

Ah, summer television. Usually full of raunchy and ridiculous guilty pleasures, I have a special place in my heart for the strictly summer TV shows. Here's a rundown of what to look out for this summer, while you wait for your Fall TV shows to return.

Coming at you from Netflix...

As we all know, Netflix breaks boundaries and doesn't follow the usual TV air-date conventions (since every episode of their famed TV shows are available all at once for streaming). But I don't have to tell you that, I know. Some fan favorite shows from our beloved Netflix are coming back with all new seasons, just in time for finals to end and your relaxation (re: excessive binge-watching) to begin.

First, we have Bloodline. Debuting May 26th with its third and final season, I can honestly say I will miss the chaos of the Rayburn clan more than I thought I would (and it hasn't even ended yet) -- I will absolutely be locked in my room for however long it takes to finish this one. If you haven't already watched this subtle thriller, you have plenty of time to fit it all in before the new season arrives.

Now, I don't want to alarm you, but you have 4 days to binge Bloodline before the next must-see show returns to Netflix -- House of Cards debuts May 30th with it's 5th season.

Next up: another obvious favorite, Orange is the New Black. This no-nonsense show returns with a highly-anticipated 5th season on June 9th, so mark your calendars immediately to make sure you find out what Daya did with that gun before someone ruins it for you on Facebook.

On TNT...

I was late to the party on this one, but the 2nd season of Animal Kingdom is what I will be watching on May 30th. You should be too, trust me on this one.

On ABC...

I am proud to admit that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have newly become my most favorite guilty pleasure. I still think it's nonsense to fall in love and agree to MARRIAGE within 6 weeks, but it's fun to watch and scream at the television. The new season of The Bachelorette airs May 22nd and I cannot wait to see the guys who are ready to profess their love for the ever-so-lovely Rachel as soon as they meet her. (It really is the best part, IMO.)

A new, strange show that will be debuting this summer is Somewhere Between. It's an American remake of a Korean show, which revolves around a woman who somehow knows her daughter will be murdered and travels to the future to prevent it. That's all I've got so far, but to me it sounds interesting and I just might give it a try when it premieres on July 24th.

On Fox...

The only notable summer show on this channel, in my eyes, is a new Gordon Ramsey show titled The F Word With Gordon Ramsey set to premiere on May 31st. With all the Internet fame Ramsey has recently got for his hilarious take downs of regular Twitter-user's meals, I have a feeling this new show will be a winner in my book. Did I mention this show is Live? Yeah. Should be entertaining.

On CBS...

If you're a Big Brother fan, I probably don't have to tell you the premiere date because you've been anticipating the return since the last time you saw Julie Chen's face. But I guess I'll say it anyway: the two-hour Big Brother season premiere airs on June 28th.

On Showtime..

A Twin Peaks revival premiering May 21st, and a new show produced by Jim Carrey, I'm Dying Up Here, premiering June 14th? Count me in. Also, please give us Shameless season 8.. sometime soon.. please.

On HBO...

I think "highly-anticipated" would be an understatement when referring to this next show. Game of Thrones returns July 16th. So, start preparing now for all the insanity.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
