Binge-Worthy Shows You Can Watch On Netflix This Summer
Matthew Keys

Summer's here, which means we all finally have the time to catch up on our favorite TV shows. Whether you're interested in drama, sports, music, mystery, or romance, here are 11 shows that you need to make sure you watch this summer. These are just a few of my favorites!

1. One Tree Hill

Arguably the greatest show of all time. If you like basketball, romance, and a classic coming-of-age story, this is the show for you. "OTH" is about two half-brothers, Nathan and Lucas Scott, who are rivals on the basketball court in the small town of Tree Hill, N.C. There are nine seasons, and they get progressively better and better as you watch...oh, and the characters get hotter each season, too.

2. Glee

Another classic coming-of-age show, perfect for people who love theater and music. "Glee" does get a little cheesy, but overall it is a quality show that shows what high school is like for the 'not-so-popular' kids. The music is phenomenal, and some of the characters have stunning voices (aka Lea Michelle).

3. Friday Night Lights

This GIF pretty much says it all. If you like football, Texas, and good looking guys with long hair, you should check out "Friday Night Lights." This show is about the Dillion Panthers, a Texas high school football team, and their struggles on and off the field. If you are a fan of any sports at all, you will love this show. Tim Riggins isn't too bad to look at, either.

4. Scandal

If you're a fan of politics, dramas, or thrillers, make sure you watch Scandal this summer. Television mastermind Shonda Rhimes created this show, and it revolves around Olivia Pope (aka a bad ass) solving problems within & outside of the White House.

5. Friends

A must-see classic. What else can I say?

6. How I Met Your Mother

Another must-see show. This comedy tells the story of how Ted fell in love, and it keeps you guessing for nine seasons. Throughout the nine seasons, you'll learn about Barney, Robin, Marshall, and Lily (Ted's best friends) and laugh a lot along the way.

7. Dexter

Different from all of the other shows on this list, "Dexter" is a crime drama/thriller/mystery. The show is bloody and uses a dark sense of humor, so don't watch it if you aren't into shows like that. "Dexter" revolves around main character Dexter Morgan, who works as a forensic technician but also enjoys killing people. The show is loaded with suspenseful twists and turns, as well as romance and dark comedy.

8. Vampire Diaries

This supernatural drama/horror/romance tells the story of Elena Gilbert, who falls in love with a vampire – and his brother. Both of the brothers happen to be really good looking too, which is a plus.

9. Gossip Girl

Blake Lively. Leighton Meester. Penn Badgley. Chance Crawford. Ed Westwick. That should be enough reasons to watch this show. A bunch of teens go to boarding school in Manhattan and things get wild. Check it out.

10. Grey's Anatomy

Another show created by mastermind Rhimes. If you don't already know, this is a medical drama that revolves around the lives of five interns and the work they do in the hospital. There are 269 episodes and counting, so if you're looking for a long-time show to commit to, this is the one.

11. The Office

It takes a really special person to watch (and enjoy) this show. Either you love it, or you hate it. If you're a fan of dry humor, check this show out. The episodes are only 22 minutes long, so you can fly through an entire season within a day or so.

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.

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.

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.
