TV Series Finale

So, you've already watched Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and all 15 seasons of SVU.... Now what?

We've got you covered.


1.West World

If you like any of these, you may like West World: Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Person of Interest.

Description: Rich Vacationers are immersed in a world filled with lifelike, but robotic, “hosts”, where the vacationers are allowed to live out all their wildest fantasies.

Why you’ll love it: PLOT TWISTS. Seriously. My description can’t do this show justice. Just give it a chance. It’s addicting, keeps you thinking, and makes you second guess your predictions all the way until the season finale.

Where you can find it: HBO GO – check for their free trial deals!


2. 11.22.63

If you like any of these, you may like 11.22.63: Doctor Who, Futurama, The Flash, Stranger Things.

Description: A man ends up going back in time to stop the assassination of JFK.

Why you’ll love it: I don’t even like history, and I loved this show. It draws you into the time period, and even though you know (or think you know) the outcome, you want to know how it ends up happening that way.

Where you can find it: Hulu – do a free trial if you don’t have it, this show is fairly quick to watch, and only one season!

3. White Collar

If you like any of these, you may like White Collar: The blacklist, Suits, Burn Notice.

Description: FBI’s most wanted, Neal, ends up switching sides, and helping the FBI catch some of their other most wanted criminals while regaining some of his freedom.

Where you can find it: Netflix

Description: The first season follows the murder investigation of a teenage girl linked with the campaign of a new potential mayor, and the life of Detective Sarah Linden.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
