There’s nothing quite like bingeing on a new show or an old favorite when life’s got you down. Sometimes you need something cute and quirky to lift your mood. Other times, you’re desperate for a dose of hilarity. Or maybe you’re looking for something that will just let the feels run wild. If you’re looking for new shows to binge the next time you break out a carton of Häagen-Dazs, here are some classic options!

We Bare Bears

Cute and whimsical, with a quirky sense of humor, you’ll be surprised by how often this kid’s cartoon makes you laugh - and how many times these bears will get you right in the feels. CUTENESS OVERLOAD.

Adventure Time

This is a great show to put on in the background while working on projects or homework, or just to sit back and tune out to. It’s incredibly adorable, always a little bit weird and quirky, but occasionally delivers messages on love and friendship that you just can’t miss.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Fun and quirky, this show about a young woman who escapes captivity and tries to make her way in bustling New York City is a great watch for when you’re feeling down. You might think that Kimmy’s unshakeable sense of optimism would get old quick - but you’d be wrong.

Over The Garden Wall

You will fall in love with these brothers. Not only are they insanely cute, and their antics hilariously funny, the overarching story in this mini series is poignant and powerful. You can finish this one in a night, and you’ll be left feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

Bojack Horseman

This cartoon is great for anyone on a bit of a cynical trip. With a biting sense of sarcastic humor, this show’s titular character, a washed up 90's actor, inevitably struggles with self-esteem and depression in a ridiculously funny way that’ll have you feeling less embarrassed with how you deal with your daily life.

Merlin

If you’re looking for something to escape with, than Merlin is your best bet. Comical at times, and dark and sobering in others, Merlin is a fantasy show that’ll make you laugh and fall in love with the wizard Merlin, and Arthur, the young prince of Camelot he is encharged to protect.

Avatar the Last Airbender

A classic, Avatar the Last Airbender is a show not just for kids. If you want something silly, playful, with great characters and one of the most developed series arcs, you have to give Avatar a shot. It may look childish and goofy, but I promise you, not only will you be entertained, but this show will take you on a journey.

Gravity Falls

Cute, adventurous, and endlessly fun, you have to give Gravity Falls a try. Give this show a binge, and you’ll be sure to be humming along to the theme song before you’re halfway through the first season!

Portlandia

Made up of short and sweet skits but with the unbeatable duo of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, Portlandia will have you burst out laughing in no time! This parody of Portland and general “hipster” culture is sure to have you smiling.

Spongebob Squarepants

And of course, the most classic feel-good show we know. For a dose of nostalgia, and some simple, droll humor, why not binge some of the old Spongebob episodes we all know and love?

There's nothing quite like a good show to get you out of a rut! So give some of these shows a try, and see if you don't wind up bingewatching the whole list!

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.
