Top 8 Series On Netflix That Will Ruin Your Life

We’ve all done it. Maybe you went online to finish a paper due tomorrow and ended up binge watching your favorite television show. Maybe you stayed up all night stalking your favorite actors or ships. Either way you wouldn’t be falling down this downward spiral without the help of Netflix. Here are the top ten shows everyone should avoid if they plan to socialize this year.

1. "Grey's Anatomy"

"Grey's Anatomy" is one of those shows that no one really wants to watch. You get peer pressured into watching it. No one knows what it’s actually about, but sooner or later after hearing about it for weeks from your friends, you’ll end up logging into Netflix and seeing what all the fuss is about. Trust me when I say after 12 seasons and plenty of tears: This show has the power to destroy you.

2. "One Tree Hill"

Whether you rooted for Nathan and Hailey, or Lucas and Payton, or Brooke and Julian, or even Millie and Mouth, "One Tree Hill" always had drama to an almost unrealistic standard. It doesn’t hurt that the Scott brothers are some of the best looking guys to be on television. The hot boys and crazy plot lines make up for the fact that apparently no one in this town can drive with the amount of accidents this show has seen.

Plus, Jamie's pretty adorable, so that's always a plus.

3. "Supernatural"

With 11 seasons and a 12 on the way, "Supernatural"isn’t stopping anytime soon. The Winchesters just have a way of pulling their audience in and refusing to let them leave. This is a show that will cause all nighters and emotional trauma to anyone brave enough to watch it. Everyone you love will die, and I do mean everyone. And yes, Destiel is real.

4. "Parks and Recreation"

"Parks and Recreation" is the best way to procrastinate when doing homework. Instead of writing an essay, you can watch Amy Poehler and Chris Pratt cause trouble and be their hilarious selves. The shows one of the funniest binges on the list and is the perfect distraction from anything troubling you in life. The problem is you can watch a season in a day and not even notice.

5. "Orange is the New Black"

The Netflix original has the new season come out all in one day. That’s dangerous in itself because now I can’t leave my couch for a day. The show might have just started out with Piper being forced into prison, but since season one so many characters have been introduced that have quickly became fan favorites. Also, this is exactly how I picture prison now. I'm pretty sure this is all there is to it.

6. "Making a Murderer

"

This show makes you question our entire judicial system. By going through one man's murder case, everyone who watches the show automatically can become a lawyer. The series is only one season long, but those ten episodes go by quick. When they’re over, your mind is blown. This Netflix show came out of nowhere and suddenly everyone was talking about it. Why? Because Avery was totally innocent, and nothing you say can make me believe otherwise.

7. "Breaking Bad"

The fact that this old and dying chemistry teacher decided to try and sell crystal meth is all I needed to hear. I don’t know whose idea it was to put Walter White and Jesse Pinkman together, but I thank you with all my heart. I didn’t know how much I wanted them together until they were. This show will definitely make you late, if not miss class all together. But you won’t regret it because holy crap that ending is insane and I need more.

8. "Sherlock"

This show tricks you. You think there’s only three episodes a season so how long can that take? Well a long time if the episodes are an hour and a half long! But that’s okay because have you seen Benedict Cumberbatch’s face? If not, you’re seriously missing out. Sherlock is exactly who I aspire to be when I grow up. Successful and uncaring towards just about everyone around me. He basically proves that if you’re a genius and good at your job, you can be a total ass to anyone and everyone you meet. These episodes may be long but their so good the show will take you three days tops.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
