One of my favorite things to do is watch Netflix. I sit back after a long day of classes and catch up on my favorite shows and series. This is an everyday occurrence (and my roommate can vouch for this) and is so relaxing. However, I find myself constantly giving people ideas on shows to watch when they want to wind down their day with a good show. With that in mind, I present, my top six personal favorite shows.

1. Supernatural

This show is one of character development, twist and turns, and a truly passionate fan base! Now in its 12th season on television this show is not exactly kid friendly, however, it is amazing when you’re looking for a good thriller. Just don’t get attached to anyone…actually you can, they’ll probably be back next season.

2. Gotham

If you’re into crime shows and superheroes, then you’ll love Gotham. Based on the Batman character by DC comics, Gotham gives the backstory of all your major characters and focuses on what made Batman the man we know today. This show is only in its third season and is not exactly kid friendly but satisfies all Batman fans young and old.

3. Sherlock

Sherlock Holmes is given a modern look into today’s society where Twitter and texting are easier than catching a horse and buggy to tell Inspector Lestrade who the killer is. There is only one episode that is not kid friendly (some sligh jokes here and there) but if you’re looking for amazing acting, a great cast, and a highly functioning sociopath then this is the show for you.

4.The Flash

Back to the theme of superheroes, number four on this list is The Flash. Based on the story of the ever-popular speedster we are given a fresh look on Barry Allen and his friends at S.T.A.R. labs. With a flair for the dramatic and for a good twist, The Flash is kid friendly and fun to watch for all fans of D.C. comics. However, you may want to catch up on The Arrow and SuperGirl also as there are some crossovers.

5. Netflix’s Daredevil

If you’re more of Marvel fan, Daredevil may be more your style. Based off the semi-blind crime fighter of Hell’s Kitchen, Daredevil is a great superhero with an even greater story. Daredevil actually does what a lot of other shows do not and gives you a look into the bad guy’s side of things and makes you question who is really in the wrong here. While this show is generally okay for kids, parental supervision never hurt anyone and I’m sure everyone will enjoy this show either way.

6.Once Upon a Time

What if your favorite princes and princesses were in today’s world? What if they did not know who they were? What if Rumpelstiltskin was actually kind of cool and not just bent on ruining everyone’s birthday? Once Upon a Time takes that old time magic of good storytelling and transfers it into the modern world in a way that makes you sit on the edge of your seat. Kid friendly and full of suspense, Once Upon a Time is fun for the whole family!

So, there you go, six of my personal favorite shows that you can find on Netflix and get as wrapped in them as I am. Make sure to go follow my page along with the Anderson University page, find us on social media and I will see you guys next time! (What are you still doing here? The article is over…go watch Netflix or something).

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
