From cartoons to drama movies, Netflix has it all. Producing well-known and critically acclaimed television hits like "Stranger Things" and "13 Reasons Why," Netflix is a streaming-service that seems to be at the peak of its success. Here are 18 original, Netflix produced and created shows you should add to your watch-list immediately!

1. The End of the F***ing World

"The End of the F***ing World" is a comedy/drama that tells the story of James, a self-diagnosed psychopath, who believes he is "ready" to murder. His target? A young girl named Alyssa. If you're into British comedies, coming-of-age shows, or deadpan humor, then "The End of the F***ing World" is definitely your cup of tea.

2. Seven Seconds

"Seven Seconds" should be at the very top of your watch-list. If you're into crime dramas that note racial tension. "Seven Seconds" creates a desire for justice that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and pressing the "next episode" button.

3. Friends From College


"Friends From College" tells the story of a group of friends that just can't seem to grow out of their college immaturity. This comedy is one of my favorite shows on Netflix right now. It's great for when you want background noise or a distraction from life. "Friends From College" is the kinda show you wanna watch when you have four papers due and need an excuse to not do them.

4. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

My friends and I put Jerry Seinfeld on when we're getting ready to go out or when we're looking for a Saturday afternoon show. "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" is hilarious, and shows a vast array of celebrities, including Barack Obama. This is a show you should add to your watch-list if you like comedy, coffee, and cars!

5. Cable Girls

So, "Cable Girls" is actually a Spanish drama. But if you watch it on Netflix you can have English audio. I love this show though because I have a fascination with the 1920s. Not only that but it's a great show that paints women in the light, as strong, independent, working women fighting against the patriarchal norms of the time.

6. Girlboss

If you haven't seen "Girlboss" yet, you're behind. This show tells the story of Sophia Amoruso, the founder of Nasty Gal. It's before her fame, when she was a thief and a liar. "Girlboss" is the best show for girls who want to watch the story of a strong, independent, powerful women rise from her own insecurities and failures.

7. Master of None

"Master of None" is inarguably one of the best comedies on Netflix right now. Everyone should add this to their watch-list because it's diverse, funny, and has a killer soundtrack. Aziz Ansari has yet to fail me with this show, and I always recommend this to people who ask me what to watch.

8. Dear White People

Based on the 2014 movie of the same name, "Dear White People" surrounds the lives of black students at an overwhelmingly white Ivy League college. This show is so important because it uses comedy and satire to explore the roots of institutional racism in higher education.

9. Atypical

"Atypical" shows us how important it is to be inclusive and kind to everyone. This show tells the story of a young boy with autism who is ready for a girlfriend. I love this show because of it's attempts to normalize the disorder. This show is another must-have on your watch-list because of that!

10. BoJack Horseman

Not gonna lie, "BoJack Horsman" is pretty fucked up. This humanoid horse with alcoholism was once a celebrity in his universe. This show is great if you're into that kind of stuff, which in my opinion, deep down, we all are. Not the kind of show to watch with your parents, but it makes for great laughs with your friends or siblings.

11. Everything Sucks!

"Everything Sucks!" follows a freshman boy who lives in Boring, Oregon. This show is a great coming-of-age show that takes place in the mid-'90s, so a sense of nostalgia is sure to rise for anyone who watches it.

12. American Vandal

"American Vandal" is unique. Its a mockumentary of those true-crime drama's you're always hearing about. Following an act of vandalism-- penises were drawn over 27 cars-- a high school student pleads innocent. "American Vandal" uses satire to exploit the human desire of curiosity, you just have to know who committed the crime.

13. Santa Clarita Diet

"Santa Clarita Diet" stars Drew Berrymore, a young zombie mother raising her kids in California. Its fresh, unique take on the zombie genre has never been done before, and it's done well. This show is coming back on March 23rd, 2018, so best get binging.

14. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

I'm sure everyone here read the books. But the show is just amazing. My roommate (at the time) and I binged this show in one day because we were so excited to watch it. Watching books come to the screen can be scary sometimes, however, this time it is done almost perfectly. Sometimes you should listen to the kids!

15. One Day at a Time

Can I get a hell yeah for Latinx representation? "One Day at a Time" follows a single mother, who is a veteran and Latina. This show is so diverse and I love that aspect about it because, in today's society, everyone needs to be more inclusive. This show is something everyone should watch to help normalize ethnic casts and crew!

16. Queer Eye

Basically "What Not To Wear" but with a bunch of gay hosts, which make it better. "Queer Eye" is the show my friends pressured me into watching, but I'm so glad I did because it was hilarious. I honestly cannot put into words how funny this show is. You just need to watch it for yourself to understand.

17. Big Mouth

I can guarantee you know pretty much every single one of these cast members. Their credibility alone is enough of a reason to watch it, but if you still need convincing, this show is a diamond in the rough. It's hilarious, essentially making fun of the disastrous era of puberty we all went through. A bit profane and phallic (if you're not into that, this is your warning) but overall, great writing!

18. The Crown

"The Crown" follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II. If you're into historical dramas and biographies, this is my number one recommendation for you. Queen Elizabeth II was such a fascinating person, and this show brings her to life in a brilliant manner.

Whether you're looking for some background noise or a new weekend binge-worthy show, Netflix has it all. Each of these 18 shows has something unique to offer, and I highly suggest checking even one of them out, you won't be disappointed.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
