10 Things To Watch On Netflix When You Need To Procrastinate
Netflix

You’re sitting at your desk or on your bed, getting ready to do some homework when you look to the side and see that your television is staring at you, just begging you to watch it. So you turn on the television and get ready to watch Netflix. But what should you watch?! This article will give you 10 different things to watch on Netflix when you REALLY need to procrastinate.

1. Big Eyes

I accidentally happened upon this movie during a Netflix search one night. The movie is set in the 1950s and 60s and revolves around the true story about artist Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) who achieved fame with his portraits of saucer-eyed children. The kicker is it’s his wife, Margaret (Amy Adams), who does the painting!


The truth comes out when the marriage ends and Margaret sues her husband. This movie is an interesting comedy for someone who is looking to watch something they haven’t seen before. Plus—Christoph Waltz is an amazing actor.


2. Chewing Gum

I saw a clip of this television series on Facebook one day and immediately knew I had to see it. It’s a British comedy set in London about a virgin 24-year-old girl who lives a religious life but desperately wants to have sex. This show provides a raunchy side to a late-bloomer while being ABSOLUTELY hilarious. I recommend this to literally every person I know and love.


3. Finding Dory

This doesn’t exactly need any explanation. However, Finding Dory is hands-down one of the best sequels created by Pixar. Finding Dory makes me cry, every time. Plus, Ellen is EVERYONE’S woman crush.


4. The Imitation Game

Great movie to procrastinate while also providing some brain power. This movie is a true story about the creation of the computer by Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch). Turing invents the computer when the secret British Intelligence Agency, MI6, needs to crack Enigma—an unbreakable Nazi code. A big kicker in the film? Turing is gay, and being gay is illegal in Britain.


5. Sausage Party

A movie about a bunch of talking food in a grocery store, what could be better?! Frank (Seth Rogen) the sausage and Brenda (Kristen Wiig) the hot dog bun fall in love and accidentally crash the grocery cart they’re in, sending them and other products to the floor.


Their antics create chaos when a douche is damaged and is no longer able to do what he was made for. Frank and Brenda are on the run when they learn the truth about what lies outside the grocery store. The products gang together to defeat the humans and take back their grocery store.


6. Friends

Friends is hands-down the greatest television show in existence of television shows. Chandler and Monica are relationship goals, Rachel is fashion goals, Phoebe is carefree goals, Ross is intelligence goals, and who wouldn’t want Joey to hit on them? If you need a break from homework to laugh and clear your head, Friends is the way to go.


7. Bob Ross: Beauty is Everywhere

Don’t judge this one. I used to judge that my friends would sit and watch this when I would visit, but I sat down and really fell in love with the idea of this show. Bob Ross’ voice is just relaxing. When you’re stressing from the papers and presentations piling up, I suggest Bob Ross. It’s also a great thing to make you realize all of the little mistakes in your life are nothing—change them into happy little birds.


Also, the dude has pet squirrels. PET. FREAKING. SQUIRRELS. No one is better than Bob Ross. He should be president.


8. Grease

Danny and Sandy aren’t exactly goals—she literally changes every aspect of who she is to please a guy, please don’t ever do that—but it is honestly the best musical to sing along to. Distract yourself from the homework and sing about Summer Nights and Grease Lightning. Plus, Rizzo makes you feel like you can accomplish ANYTHING.


9. Big Mouth

If you need a laugh while finishing that 14-page paper about marketing, Big Mouth is the way to go. The show is a comedy about teenagers finding their lives changing from their beginning of puberty. The show is informing and hilarious.


10. Grey’s Anatomy

Everyone knows what Grey’s is, and I can’t lie—I absolutely despised the show and refused to watch it for years. But then I had to see what all of the hype was about, and it’s addicting. It’s not great acting when they first start out, and it doesn’t get too much better. But it is an enticing storyline.

Grey’s Anatomy is the kind of show you can use to procrastinate for a while – or as my roommate says: “Procrastinate for the entire semester.” Do you want to cry? Watch it. Do you want to listen to some beautiful covers of songs? Watch it. It’s a great thing to watch whenever you need to procrastinate because you can pick it up whenever.

So, get your Netflix ready, put the books away, and take a break. You deserve it.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
