31 Must-See TV Shows For The Summer

We all spend hours on Netflix browsing through TV show after TV show trying to find what hit we are going to get hooked on next. We ask our friends for suggestions but they always tell you the same shows that you have already seen or spoil a TV show for you or get upset with you when you put off watching their all time favorite show. To avoid that awkwardness between friends I have created a list of TV shows featured on Netflix or HBO that I have heard time and time again are considered “binge-worthy.”

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.

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.
