Winter break is finally among us. After working hard all semester, we finally get a well-deserved break. This gives us college students time to hangout with friends, read a book, or just relax. Most importantly, winter break gives us time to catch up on all the Netflix shows we've been missing out on all semester. With hundreds of shows to choose from, you may be asking yourself "which ones should I watch?" Here are just 10 of the many shows that you can binge watch over break!
1. "Gilmore Girls"
This show contains the best mother, daughter duo in TV history. It's funny, dramatic, and filled with amazing one liners. "Gilmore Girls" follows Lorelei and her daughter Rory as they maneuver through life and relationships. The show is also filled with other quirky characters that never fail to make you laugh. You will be so addicted that you should be able to get through all seven seasons in no time.
2. "Dexter"
"Dexter" will have you hooked within the first few episodes and keep you hooked until the very end. The show follows a sociopath, Dexter Morgan, who is a blood splatter analyst for Miami P.D. by day, and a serial killer by night. The twist? He only kills the bad guys.
3. "Grey's Anatomy"
"Grey's Anatomy" is full of drama, love triangles, and super attractive doctors. The show follows Meredith Grey and her colleagues as they start their careers as surgeons. Be warned though. "Grey's Anatomy" really knows how to rip your heart out. However, you can practically say that you're a surgeon after watching 11+ seasons, right?
4. "One Tree Hill"
What can be better than Chad Michael Murray, basketball, and teen angst? Nothing! "One Tree Hill" is one of those shows that you can watch 100 times and it never seems to get old. It's dramatic, heartbreaking, and even inspiring at times. So sit down, grab some tissues, and be prepared to go through an emotional roller coaster for nine seasons.
5. "The Office"
"The Office" is literally the funniest show I have ever watched. The show features the hilarious lives of the staff of a paper company called Dunder-Mifflin. It's full of silly characters who will get you hooked on the show for all nine seasons.
6. "Parks and Recreation"
"Parks and Rec" is another super funny show that will have you laughing out loud. It's cast includes Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt, Rob Lowe, Aziz Ansari, and many other hilarious people. The characters are amazing and the show is so much fun to watch. "Parks and Rec." will truly leave you wanting more after seven seasons.
7. "Hart of Dixie"
If you're looking for a cute, short, silly show then this is the show for you. "Hart of Dixie" is only four seasons long, but you will fall in love with the Town of Bluebell and it's quirky residents. The show follows doctor Zoe Hart, who's from NYC, as she reluctantly (at first) takes over her father's family practice. It is the perfect show to binge watch in a few days.
8. "Friends"
I remember watching "Friends" when I was younger, and I was super excited when it got put onto Netflix. It's amazing to watch the whole series from beginning to end and it will leave you feeling super nostalgic. After 10 seasons, you know these characters so well that you practically are part of their friend group.
9. "Scandal"
"Scandal" truly lives up to its name. The show is full of drama, blackmail, and love affairs. "Scandal" follows Olivia Pope and her crisis management team, who try to protect the images of the elite. However, as you watch the show, you will totally want to be Olivia Pope because she is amazing.
10. "Gossip Girl"
Gossip girl follows the lives of Manhattan's elite teenagers and their parents. Basically, an anonymous blogger posts about their lives and secrets online and they are constantly trying to figure out who "she" is. You will also wish your life was as exciting as the characters in the show. The drama never stops, but you will be completely addicted for all six seasons.
