17 Must-Watch Netflix Originals
Netflix

Netflix is one of the most, if not the most, popular site/app to watch movies and shows on. We love watching Netflix all day instead of doing something productive like, I don't know, walking outside, getting a job, actually going to your job, or just paying attention to the world outside of your little Netflix bubble. Let's face it, it's highly addicting and once you find a show on there, old or new, that you are really into, there's not stopping you from watching it except maybe getting a snack to enjoy while you are watching whatever your eyes are glued to.

This has become so addicting in so many ways and now that Netflix has "originals," that are actually good, people are turning to this application more often. Netflix is becoming a more popular reason for people not signing for cable in their new place. I mean, would you rather pay eighty plus dollars a month for internet and cable or just pay for your fifty dollar internet and your eight, or ten if you want 4k, dollar Netflix?! I would rather pay for great internet and Netflix. I've been watching it so much and I have even found some Netflix originals that I actually like.

1. Last Chance U

If you like football then you'll love this show. It's all about giving these guys a second chance at making it big. It's heartfelt and relatable in many different ways.

2. Friends From College

This one is newer and I watched it in 2 days (I work guys, come on). It was hilarious, sad, and the end of the first season make me want more! Also, Robin Sparkles is in this. It's funny because her character in both shows is similar in their own ways.

3. Orange is the New Black

I think this one is kind of obvious. Many people have already watched this show, over and over. But if you have not then you need to catch up on what everyone is watching!

4. The Ranch

I absolutely love this show. This show has an AMAZING cast and they can basically say whatever they want because it's a Netflix Original. This is a must watch, but you might need some tissues along the way.

5. Ozark

This one is new too and it didn't take me long to finish it. It has all the fixings of a drug show, except you really come to care for the family and you just want everything to end. But there are twists and turns and flashbacks that would have been great to know first but I knew why they didn't show them first. A must watch for sure!

6. Grace and Frankie

This show is absolutely one the best Netflix Originals I have watched. It's funny, sad and you find yourself comparing yourself to the characters, even though the two main characters are old enough to be my grandma.

7. House of Cards

I think everyone I know, knows that this show exists and/or has watched it. It's intense, twisted, not at all realistic, keeps you guessing and on your toes. Every year when a new season comes out I tell myself to hold off for a while then watch it. But realistically, I'm watching it after two days of its release.

8. Fuller House

I think this is a no brainer as well. I mean it's the Full House kids all grown with families and everyone comes back on. It's honestly perfect.

9. Narcos

This show will keep you on your feet. Drugs, money, sex. This show has it all and it's an intense ride.

10. The Do Over

I love Adam Sandler and David Spade. These guys are the perfect comedy pair and they had to have made this movie specifically with them in mind. I could not imagine a better cast and story line for these comedians.

11. ANY MARVEL SHOW

Honestly, you can't really go wrong with a Marvel show. And I say "really" very delicately because many people do not like the Netflix versions of these Marvel characters. BUT this isn't about the haters this is about one girl's opinion. Haters gonna hate, hate, hate

12. Between

So basically in this show, this little town gets a virus. No one is allowed in or out. And here's the ticker, all the adults died. GO WATCH THIS SHOW. It's one of my favorites!

13. Travelers

I like this show because it's futuristic and I like shows like that but not everyone does, again one girl's opinion. It's interesting, funny, and intense at moments. This is one of those shows that you really have to pay attention to in order to understand what's going on.

14. Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events

Neil Patrick Harris is the perfect Olaf. I mean Jim Carrey was good, but damn does Neil nail this performance!

15. Santa Clarita Diet

Now, I like zombie shows and movies. I love iZombie and I love 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, and World War Z. This Netflix Original is like iZombie but it really focuses on how a mother would be able to survive, if she were to become a zombie, with the help of her family.

16. Bloodline

Nothing says complete family betrayal quite like this show. It's deep rooted, intense, never forgetting, brutal, family betrayal. This show went from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds. It's a thriller in the sense that you literally do not know what is about to happen to these people or one individual person.

17. Peaky Blinders

This show is good, I haven't completely caught up from where I left off, but I do like it or else it wouldn't be here. It's worth the watch if you're into a mobish feel.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
