Have you realized that you actually have nothing to do over winter break yet? Here are some of the best shows to binge watch over your winter break:

1. This Is Us

"This is Us" is the new American television series that everyone is talking about. The heartwarming series centers around the lives of triplets and their family, weaving between the present and the past. Episodes are bound to make you both laugh and cry hysterically, as the characters’ experiences shed a light on relatable modern issues.


2. American Crime Story: The People v OJ Simpson

Arguably the best show that was released in 2016 was FX’s "American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson". The series retells the monumental murder trial of OJ Simpson; the series personalizes the trial for the audience as every episode is dramatic, thrilling, and emotional. Because it only consists of ten episodes, it is the perfect show to binge watch over break.


3. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

First off, if you have never seen "Gilmore Girls" stop reading this article immediately and start watching. After finishing that, you are going to be ecstatic to hear that "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" has now arrived to Netflix, a four-part sequel series. If you have not had time to watch it yet since it has been released on Netflix this past November, winter break is the perfect time to start and finish this short yet amazing series.

4. Shameless

Though "Shameless" has been airing episodes for years now, it seems that suddenly it is more popular than ever. The Gallagher family is dysfunctional yet weirdly relatable, and you are practically guaranteed while watching to fall in love with a character or two. So, if you have not started watching "Shameless" yet, the time is now!

5. Friends

Looking for a classic to watch over break? Whether you have seen it countless times before or if you can still embarrassingly admit that you have not watched "Friends", now is the perfect time to catch up on old episodes. Let Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey into your home for the holidays and watch their hilarious adventures together.


6. Friday Night Lights

Missing football season already? Rewatch or start "Friday Night Lights" this winter break, a family and teenage drama that is perfect to enjoy around the holidays. You will come back to school a Dillon Panthers fan, and fall in love with the community of Dillon, Texas.

7. Orange is the New Black

If you still have not seen the Netflix Original "Orange is the New Black", I am not sure where you have been these past three years. However, you can still hop on the bandwagon and start Netflix’s most-watched original series. With four seasons out already, this comedy-drama television series unfolds the story of Piper Chapman and the other inmates at a low-security federal prison. Both hilarious yet serious, "Orange is the New Black" will keep you on your toes over break.

8. Pretty Little Liars

Okay okay, I know what you are thinking… you probably stopped watching "Pretty Little Liars" in like 9th grade after being frustrated with the never ending search for A. However, why waste all those Tuesday nights spent theorizing? Start back up and binge watch "Pretty Little Liars" this winter break just in time for the final season. Finally, you will not have to wait that long for your questions to be answered.

9. Stranger Things

Looking for something a little different to watch for the start of a new year? Nominated for several categories this award season, "Stranger Things" is a thrilling science fiction-horror television show. Noted for its large fan following and viewing numbers, there is an overwhelming amount of support for "Stranger Things" being one of the best television series released in 2016. Join the following this winter break!

10. Fuller House

Let's be honest here, if you never watched an episode of "Full House" growing up you probably lived under a rock. "Fuller House" may not be as great as the original series, but this quirky and cute family-oriented show will make you reminisce on all the reasons you loved "Full House". Watch the new second season with your family this holiday and laugh together at the crazy adventures of Steph, DJ, and Kimmy.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand.

For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
