5 TV Shows You Can't Live Your Best Life Without

Getting hooked on TV shows is my middle name.

"This Is Us"

Is there anything truly better than lighting some candles, wearing your comfiest sweats, having some snacks by your side, and watching your favorite show? I think not. This is what I like to call some good quality me time. With the hectic lives we live, we all need a chance to sit down and unwind. Getting hooked on TV shows is my middle name. Once I find a show that I love, I revolve my life around it.

Life can get stressful sometimes, so it's nice to forget about your worries and focus on those of your favorite fictional character instead. Here are some shows that I think you would really miss out on if you didn't check out.

1. "Gossip Girl"

Words cannot explain my love for this show. With its good-looking cast, designer references, and juicy tales of scandal and betrayal, "Gossip Girl" is a CLASSIC. I have watched the entire series three times. And every single time I've watched it, I have never gotten bored. The title may give off a feminine and/or girly vibe, but I really do think that this show has something for everyone. This show follows the lives of the elite Upper East side teens and the scandals they get themselves into. It may not sound like a lot, but trust me, it is SO entertaining.

2. "Shameless"

This show. Oh my god. It is truly one of a kind. I guarantee you, you will get hooked from the first episode. With its crude humor and unexpected plot twists, "Shameless" is a show that you really can't miss out on. Honestly, I would give a basic plotline, but I really don't think that words would do it justice. I have never heard of anyone watching "Shameless" and not loving it. If you don't like this show, I'm not sure we can be friends. I know I should've given a general description on it, but just trust me on this one, and go and watch the first episode.

3. "The Mindy Project"

The good ole "Mindy Project." There's a special place in my heart for this show. It follows the life of the clumsy yet lovable Dr. Mindy Lahiri, a successful Indian American OBGYN. Mindy can be found alternating between dealing with her quirky co-workers and workplace mishaps and the ups and downs of her crazy love life. Mindy, like the rest of us, is obsessed with romcoms and is on the hunt for her own happy fairytale ending. Her character is super relatable. I think that we can all find a little bit of Mindy Lahiri in ourselves.

4. "This Is Us"

This show is honestly EVERYTHING. It is the only show that I have actually sobbed while watching. It will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. It's a heartfelt, emotional show that will really get you hooked. Although it's so different than "Shameless," "This Is Us" is also one of those shows that you really cannot miss out on. Also, like "Shameless," I don't think words will do it any justice. The ending of each episode leaves me speechless. This show will seriously have you in your feels, so do yourself a favor, and WATCH.

5. "Black Mirror"

I thought I'd end this list with one of the most unique shows I've watched. Each episode of "Black Mirror" is different, but it follows one central theme: the curse of technology on society. Some say that each episode is connected in some deep, underlying way. This may be true, but it hasn't been verified by the creators. Each episode shows us, in what seems to be a futuristic society, how technology can lead to our demise. I promise you, after watching just one episode of this show, you will be HOOKED. Each episode ends in such an unexpected and twisted way that will literally leave your mouth hanging. With technology being such a huge part of our lives, I suggest you give this show a watch, especially if you're into the whole dystopian society/robots-taking-over-the-world scene.

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.
