12 Shows to Binge Watch on Netflix
Seeking Alpha

Nowadays, it seems that people tend to watch shows and movies on Netflix than on actual cable television. I personally love Netflix, and always seems to search for the perfect show to binge-watch for weeks or, sadly, just a few days. So, here are some of my favorite shows to watch on Netflix.

1. Friends

Because, duh.

Seasons: 10

Episode length: 22 minutes


2. How I Met Your Mother

Basically, the same concept of Friends. A bunch of friends, each with their own quirky personalities, that hang out all the time.

Seasons: 9

Episode length: 21 minutes


3. The Office

The Office took a while for me to get used to the humor and documentary-style of filming, but it’s definitely one of my top ten favorite TV shows. It’s based on the BBC hit series, but I personally think this one is way better.

Seasons: 9

Episode length: 21-40 minutes


4. Parks and Recreation

Oh, Parks and Rec. This might be my favorite show of all time. The cast is amazing and there isn’t a single episode that doesn’t make me laugh or smile.

Seasons: 7

Episode length: 21 minutes


5. New Girl

I had tried to watch New Girl a couple of times, but something always came up and then I would end up watching another show. I did, however, finally watched it all the way to the last season on Netflix. It can be a little slow at times, but it’s still a fun, quirky show about a girl living with four male roommates.

Seasons: 5

Episode length: 21-23 minutes


6. Supernatural

Supernatural is one of my guilty pleasures. I’ve probably seen every episode on Netflix at least five times. It’s basically about two brothers traveling across America killing all things supernatural. Plus, the two main actors who play the brothers are pretty cute too.

Seasons: 11

Episode Length: 40+ minutes


7. Gilmore Girls

When I saw that Netflix added Gilmore Girls I was so excited. I had not seen Gilmore girls since I was probably in middle school. I binge watched every season back then, but on DVD instead of Netflix.

Seasons: 7

Episode Length: 43+ minutes


8. The 100

The 100 is set in future time and 100 juvenile delinquents are sent to earth from space, 97 years after a nuclear war destroyed civilization on earth. There are parts that are slow and filled with teenage drama, but it still gets you hooked and wanting to watch more.

Seasons: 3

Episode Length: 40+ minutes


9. The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story

I was never able to watch The People v. O.J. Simpson when it came out on television so I was excited when I saw that it was on Netflix. I watched the whole season within three days. It was so amazing to get to “experience” the O.J. trial since I wasn’t even born when it happened in real life.

Seasons: 1

Episode Length: 40-60 minutes


10. Stranger Things

Stranger Things is a Netflix-original series that is set in the 1980s. A young boy disappears and his mother, friends, and basically the whole town try to search for answers to his disappearance. It has the suspense, drama, a supernatural elements, basically everything you could ask for a binge-worthy show.

Seasons: 1

Episode length: 41+ minutes


11. A Series of Unfortunate Events

Everyone probably knows that this show is based on the book series by Lemony Snicket. Count Olaf is played by Neil Patrick Harris who is amazing throughout the whole first season. I, sadly, never read the books growing up so I took me a minute to understand the concept of the story, and how it’s literally a series of unfortunate events for three orphans.

Seasons: 1

Episode length: 40+ minutes


12. Narcos

Narcos is based on the life of Pablo Escobar and the infamous Medellin drug cartel. It does have a lot of sex, drugs and language throughout the entire series. However, it is very suspenseful and keeps you thinking on what crazy plot twist is going to happened next.

Seasons: 2

Episode length: 40+ minutes

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.
