Top 10 Netflix Shows to get You Out of That Funk
ellylldhan

1. Grey’s Anatomy

Possibly one of the best shows in Netflix and definitely one of the bests for binge watching. You’ll cry, laugh, and even get angry while watching. However, every time you see Meredith and Christina dance it out or every time Derek and Meredith spectate and get back together, you’ll fall in love with the show over and over again.

3. Gilmore Girls

A classic, a show I fell in love with, with my mom. During my worst funks all I want to do is sit on the couch with my mom and watch "Gilmore Girls;" I’ll always thank Lorelai and Rory for making my mom my best friend.

4. The Office

The best binge for a great laugh, whenever I need a small bout of happiness from my day I turn on my favorite episodes from "The Office." From Creed’s hilarious lines to Jim and Pam’s sweet office romance, the Office should be on everyone’s top watch list.

5. Parks and Recreation

Similar to "The Office," "Parks and Rec" is a great show to get you a great laugh. If I’m over watching "The Office" I always turn on "Parks and Rec" for a different laugh, from Leslie’s amusing banter.

6. Shameless

A great show to definitely make you feel better about your not so shitty life. This show is full of insane stories and unimaginable situations. However messed up the Gallaghers' lives get they are always there for each other no matter how much shit they’ve gotten themselves into; not to mention they’ll kill anyone who messes with one of their siblings.

7. Pretty Little Liars

A show that definitely doesn’t have that much of a light side, but will easily hook you if you get way too involved in fictional characters lives. The whole series creates a crazy story that you’ll always want to know what happens next; Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Hannah always get themselves into some sort of trouble.

8. Gossip Girl

A great show that you can use to vicariously live through the lives of the rich people of New York. There’s always something going wrong in their money filled lives, but Serena always ends up with Dan and Blair always ends up with Chuck; even if they really shouldn’t be together.

9. Private Practice

A spin of of "Grey’s Anatomy" following Doctor Addison Montgomery and her journey throughout her start at a medical facility in California. Full of more crazy drama and intriguing relationships that’ll make you fall in love with the show.

10. Criminal Minds

Another show that’s a little more dark, but full of love and life between all of the agents of the BAU. Getting attached to characters is extremely easy, and you’ll always want to know what’s happening in their lives; following Garcia’s computers and Spencer’s amazing brain you’ll find a great interest in this crime show.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

Truman State University
24375
sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

When you are on your own and tired, things happen.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
