5 TV Shows To Binge That Aren’t 'Grey’s Anatomy'

There's this weird phenomenon that college girls watch a lot of Netflix. It's brand new and something that I have just discovered, and nobody has talked about it before ever. I promise. Because these college girls watch so much Netflix they run out of things to watch and end up watching the same thing all of the time. I get it, man. We've all been there. I was there at the start of this semester and then suddenly found myself in the same place where I usually find myself: rewatching "The West Wing". I just couldn't do it again, so I decided to venture somewhere beyond Netflix, and to try some new shows. Due to all of the above reasons, I have five new suggestions for you. And they're all good

I have to be honest, my dad suggested the show to me, and he was right, I enjoy it. IF you like legal dramas, and good fashion, this is the one for you. Use your student discount for Amazon Prime and watch the first seven seasons right now. Trust me. Also, Donna Paulsen.

If you liked Cobie Smulders in 'How I Met Your Mother',watch this. There aren't many episodes, and they aren't very long, but it's a good and easy show to watch. Also, it' son Netflix, and therefore, easier to find. It's all about adult life, and how it isn't perfect, but somehow it's still funny.

I've got to be honest, I only watched this show because of Constance Wu and the fact that 'Crazy Rich Asians' was an amazing movie. I found it on Hulu, and there are a solid five seasons, and it's actually pretty funny, so give it a try, if only because of 'Crazy Rich Asians'.

This Is Us

I've said it once, and I'm going to say it again: 'This Is Us' is somehow still underappreciated. It's literally one of the most emotional shows on TV, is on Hulu, and has Milo Ventimiglia. LIke, honestly, what more do I have to say. Just watch it. Please.

Sex and The City

I also feel like Carrie Bradshaw isn't getting the love that she deserves, and it's probably because she's only HBO Now and not Netflix. Her movie is on Netflix, but we also get a student discount for HBO Now so it's about time that someone uses it and learns all about the icon herself.

I hope that you can enjoy at least one of these shows, everyone, but if not, I'm sure I'll have some new suggestions in a few weeks.No matter what, enjoy those amazing student discounts and watch some new shows on something besides Netflix.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

3902

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Syllabus week doesn't exist.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1389

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
