12 Binge-Worthy Shows To Get You Through The Summer

Do you ever feel as if the summers can drag on? Without school to keep us on track, the days can blend together. Plus, our favorite shows are off the air until the fall, so we don't have much to watch. However, there are some show that you may not have scene yet that would be perfect for binge-watching this summer!

12. "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

This show has bee running for quite a long time, and it just keeps on giving. After 11 seasons, FXX renewed the comedy for an additional three, which is a testament to how good this show can be. This one will keep you busy for a while, too.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-10 on Netflix/Hulu

11. "The X-Files"

Did someone say government conspiracies and extraterrestrial behavior? "The X-Files" ran for nine seasons, yet it never got old. The relationship between Mulder and Scully is enough to keep one interested, but obviously there was something special about this show. FOX recently revived the show for a new season, and it is likely that this will happen again.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-9 on Netflix/Hulu

10. "Bob's Burgers"

This witty cartoon television show has received critical acclaim, yet I still think it is completely underrated. It's the kind of comedy that you search for. It has the ability to make you laugh without being stale or stupid. This should definitely be your pick if you like to laugh a lot.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-5 on Netflix, Season 6 on Hulu

9. "Mad Men"

Period drama? Yes please. This award-winning show was engaging, surprising, and unique. Led by Jon Hamm, this cast of actors is a joy to watch, even if the misogyny is enough to make you cringe sometimes. It can be dark at times, so be on the lookout.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-7 on Netflix

8. "Pretty Little Liars"

Is this award-winning television at work? No. However, it is extremely binge-worthy. This show will have you guessing and wondering where the story will end. Every twist and turn sucks you in which is why you'll definitely keep busy with this one.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-6 on Netflix, Season 7 on Hulu

7."Ally McBeal"

A past winner of the Emmy Award for Best Comedy, this show made names out of stars such as Calista Flockhart, Jane Krakowski, and Portia de Rossi. On the surface, it seems more like a romantic comedy type, but it's definitely worth a watch.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-5 on Netflix/Hulu

6. "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"

This cult-classic seems to expand it's following everyday. While most may be turned off by its sci-fi aspects, it's a much better show than meets the eye. Yes, there is a lot of fighting 90s special effects vampires, but the stories and characters are what make the show fun and fresh. They're why it's still popular to this day.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-7 on Netflix/Hulu

5. "Grey's Anatomy"

If you like having your heart ripped out 12 times in one episode, this show is most definitely for you. Yes, it's highly emotional, but it's also really good television. After 12 seasons, "Grey's Anatomy" has recreated itself a few times, but it's never gotten boring or stale. It's a real testament to the quality of television here.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-12 on Netflix, Season 12 on Hulu

4. "Scandal"

This show may be the very definition of "binge-worthy." With the amount of cliff-hangers and jaw-dropping moment this show holds, you will be glad you aren't watching it in real time. Warning: you may find yourself unable to turn it off.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-5 on Netflix

3. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

This Netflix original came into our lives and only brought joy and happiness. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll smile for days knowing that you get to go home and continue watching this Tina Fey masterpiece.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-2 on Netflix

2. "30 Rock"

Underrated does not even begin to describe how this show was treated during it's original run. The rating were never great, but the critical acclaim came through on multiple occasions. Why is that? It's due to the genius of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. They created a smart and funny comedy that comments on so many relatable issues. It's definitely worth watching.

Where to find it: Seasons 1-7 on Netflix

1. "Parks and Recreation"

Someone once told me that watching "Parks and Recreation" felt like a warm hug. Well, I don't know if I have ever related to a statement more. This show is funny, yes, but it is so much more than that. There is so much heart and soul in each episode. It is my favorite show that I have ever seen, and I have never met anyone who regretted watching it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
