Ten Shows To Watch On Netflix To Rid Stress In College

There are some shows on Netflix that have been important in getting me through my first semester and a half of college, and some shows that I plan to help me get through my next few months as well. Netflix has become an important part of college already and I can't wait to see how far it takes me through college. I would recommend anyone to watch the following shows if they want to have something to distract them from the terrors of college.


1. Bob's Burgers

Honestly, if you haven't seen this show, it's very important that you do. It may seem a little bit weird (or very weird at the beginning), but I promise you, you'll be laughing away all of your college stress in minutes. It's a great show to make you laugh away the pain.

2. Parks and Recreation

This is also a good show to laugh away pain with, and also a great show in general. Following the troubles and just downright hilarious moments of the parks department, this show was very calming to watch.

3. Dexter

Dexter is a great show to watch if you want to follow along with a serial killer as he hides his twisted mind from all the people he knows. I was continuously told to watch Dexter and when I finally started to watch it, I understood why. It was riveting and fun to watch.

4. Psych

I watched every season of Psych before even coming into college, and I re-watched it all in the first semester. Psych is one of my all time favorite shows that follows along with a "psychic detective" as he solves crimes with the police department. He constantly jokes around and makes the show basically a comedy, not a cop show.

5. Blue Mountain State

This was also recommended to me many times before I actually watched it, and when I did, I was hooked. It was a great show about college that made me laugh throughout the whole thing. Binge watching it was easy, as I wanted to watch more and more episodes to get rid of more stress.

6. Supernatural

If you want a show that will make it a little bit difficult to sleep at night, Supernatural is perfect for that. It's good for nights when you want something scary that you know has no chance of being true. It's all about demons and monsters, and the people who hunt them. It's more interesting than it may seem, I promise.

7. Criminal Minds

You can never go wrong with Criminal Minds. If you don't know what Criminal Minds is, you have probably been living under a rock your whole life. I shouldn't have to write about why you should watch this because you should already be watching it.

8. Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl was a show I watched in high school, but I would gladly re-watch it in college. It follows the rich teens of the upper east side in New York City, and all the scandals and problems they get into.

9. American Horror Story

This also goes under "watch if you don't want a peaceful night of sleep" like Supernatural. Every season has a different theme with different characters, even if some actors are the same throughout different seasons. The stories in each season are chilling, but interesting.

10. Prison Break


This is by far my favorite show that I have watched while at college. I am through the first season, and I never want it to end. This show constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat, and builds up more and more with each episode. It follows the main character as he tries to break his brother out of prison, while also keeping them, and the people they run into, alive. This is sure to become a new favorite if you have never seen it before. I highly recommend taking your time while watching this.


There are many more shows that I could put on this list, but these ten are the ones that come more quickly to mind. These shows are sure to keep you laughing your stress away, thinking about the horrors of the world, or building even more stress from the fact that you've wasted your time watching Netflix instead of doing homework. Whatever these shows bring to you, they all turn out to be worth the waste of time, and very intriguing.

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.

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.
