What The Show You Binge on Netflix Says About You
whats-on-netflix.com

Netflix is one of the best things to happen to mankind. You can watch anything from classic 90's films to foreign horror stories. However, one does not just enjoy Netflix. The term "Netflix and chill" was coined sometime last year, meaning you pick some random show or movie from your plethora of categories and you don't *chill*. Those losers waste eight dollars a month but we the people who engage in episode after episode, we are the real winners here. So much so that we have been put into our own division also known as the Netflix binge watchers. Like everything else in America, we can't enjoy things in moderation, we have to take it to the next level. There's many different kinds of Netflix binge watchers, these are their stories.

1. Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice.

You probably have performed surgery on a paper cut since starting either of these series. Your major has either changed to pre-med recently or you have already changed it because who wouldn't want to work in a doctors office with Patrick Dempsey? These people are extremely emotionally unstable due to their favorite characters dying all the time because the creators hate their viewers, obviously.


2. Bob's Burgers.

Your sense of humor is somewhere between my Grandpa and a small child. Bob's Burgers is the less vulgar version of Family Guy and one of the few dumb cartoons that girls actually like. Most everyone can relate to Tina but strives to be Louise. If you can't laugh at Bob's Burgers, your soul is dead.


3. Orange is the New Black.

You have a sick sense of humor, but also know what not to do so you won't end up in jail. You hate Porn Stache and love Tasty. Most of our non-OITNB friends can't watch the show because they don't get us, and I will admit it can get a little extreme. It takes a special kind of person to be intrigued by an underground prison panty sales operation.


4. Stranger Things.

You are no longer able to sleep. You thought Eleven was a boy. You love the 80's or think its such a train wreck that you can't look away. You have mixed emotions about Barb. The classic debate over whether Nancy should be with Steve or Jonathan has probably destroyed a few of your friendships.

5. New Girl.

Your Pinterest board is now covered in apartment inspiration pictures that include brick walls and a talking stick. You have considered becoming a teacher. You have probably played "All American" once or twice with your roommates, in fact you yell "FDR!" in your sleep. You experience constant inner turmoil about whether Jess should be with Nick or Sam. Also, you wish Nick was your bartender.


6. Narcos.

You have somewhat of a dark soul. You hate Pablo Escobar and everything he did to the country of Colombia but you sympathize for his wife, children, and mother. Death no longer makes you queasy.


7. Making a Murderer.

You think you could be an attorney or that you're practically already qualified. How the heck could someone not see all of the legal faults in Avery's case? You have definitely spent a lot of time online further researching whether or not he has been released yet. You ask everyone "Have you seen 'Making a Murderer?'" You have a strong hate for the state of Wisconsin.

8. How I Met your Mother.

Blue French Horns have significance to you. You're super passionate about Neil Patrick Harris. You high five everyone.

9. Friends.

You clearly hate new television because you continually watch a show that went off air in 2004. You have started not wearing a bra because Jennifer Aniston is hashtag goals. You probably don't have actual friends and that's why you obsess over this show so much.

10. Jane the Virgin.

You wish your life was a telenovela. You love Rafael, but Michael WAS Jane's first true love. You fear the gynecologist now because the possibility of accidental artificial insemination terrifies you. Mateo is an angel. You live a stressed life because you don't know when the next twist will come about. Rogelio is your spirit animal.

11. One Tree Hill.

You have spent your entire life (since becoming obsessed with OTH) trying to figure out why you don't live down the road from all of your high school best friends. You entered college thinking life would lead you in a great direction and success would come find you. It didn't.

12. Breaking Bad.

You have considered developing your own meth lab. You are still emotional about the finale. You have a semi-dark soul but with a soft spot. You stay up at night wondering if they will make another season because your life just hasn't been the same without it.

13. The Office/Parks and Recreation.

Your humor is corny and dry and everyone loves you for it. While you never considered a job that sticks you in a cubicle all day, you now think it might be a fun thing to be a part of. You hope the real world office jobs are as great as these.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
