10 Netflix Shows to Binge Over Winter Break
Google

The best feeling about coming home for winter break finally being done. A semester has ended, the weight of finals is off your shoulders, and you no longer have all the stress that comes with finishing up classes. While you're not catching up on your sleep, you may find you need some new shows to watch on Netflix. Here are some new shows to watch while you're relaxing on your couch over break:

1. Master of None

This Netflix original series is seriously underrated. Created by Aziz Ansari, Master of None follows Dev, an actor in New York City. This comedy follows very relatable storylines and throws in jokes when you least expect to make this not only a personal favorite but a family favorite as well. It's just two seasons, so it's easy to binge in about three days, two if you are really trying.

2. Black Mirror

This show is AMAZING you guys! Each episode is different, but the overall theme of the series is futuristic, showing the dark side advances in technology can bring us. One of my favorite parts of Black Mirror is that they take a concept, like robot bees to replace the dying bee population, and escalate it in such a captivating way. If you're planning on binging, binge soon, the new season comes out December 29th.

3. Ozark

Jason Bateman stars in this crime thriller. Ozark is about Marty who secretly launders money for a drug cartel in Mexico. Marty has to move his family from Chicago to Lake of the Ozarks to throw the police off the scent, and you can sense the tension in the show. The show only has one season but will get you hooked after one or two episodes.

4. The Great British Baking Show

If you're a fan of British shows, baking shows, competition shows, or all of the above, then this show is for you. I was watching this show once with family, and the first comment made was that the show was very British, followed by a second comment about ten minutes later saying the show was really good. Next thing you know it we are debating over who's scones were the best. It's quickly additive.

5. The Crown

Speaking of British shows, you should add The Crown to your list as well. This show follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II, who's the current Queen of England, as she begins her reign over the country. Not only is this show growing a large fan base quickly, but just last year they won the Golden Globe for Best New Television Series - Drama, along with many other awards.

6. Shameless

Shameless is backed by a HUGE fanbase, and gets recommended to me by everyone I know recently. The show follows an alcoholic dad and his six kids as they cope with him. This comedy highlights the dysfunctional family as we see them learn and grow, despite how little they have.

7. American Crime Story: The People Vs. OJ Simpson

This show received 22 EMMY NOMINATIONS, winning 9 which is more than any other show! Also, David Schwimmer stars along with Sarah Paulson. Need I say more? The show follows the OJ Simpson trial and does a very good job of following the true storyline while keeping you on the edge of your seat. The next season of American Crime Story involves the assassination of Gianni Versace!

8. Riverdale


Riverdale is based on the characters in Archie Comics and has a grown in popularity so much that many Halloween costumes were even inspired by the show. Cole Sprouse acts in the series, and this teen drama follows the investigation of a murder, and the whole town gets involved.

9. American Horror Story

American Horror Story is fantastic. Each season follows a different storyline from various time periods, and recently the director revealed the seasons were connected. The series blends humor with dark and twisted situations expertly, proving why it's been well recieved by all.

10. That 70's Show

OK, so hear me out: I've never seen That 70's Show until just recently. Not only is it SUPER funny, but it's really nice to watch a funny, light show that I haven't seen before. If you've already seen this show too many times, try finding a popular show you've never seen like The Office, Parks and Rec., or Family Guy and check it out! Another option would be a show you've never watched in order; pick one out and watch it from start to finish! This is what

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
