4 Shows On Netflix That You May Not Be Watching But Definitely Should Be
ABC

If you're anything like me when the weekend comes you are ready to get into your most comfortable pajamas, make a world of delicious snacks, and dive head first into a television show. Also, if you're like me you spend almost as long deciding what to watch as watching the show itself. This is time that should not be wasted. To avoid this egregious waste of valuable binge-ing time I have made a list of shows that fly a bit under the radar worth checking out on Netflix.

4. 'The Fall' (2013 - present)

'The Fall' is everything you want in a crime show and everything you never knew you needed. It follows a compelling story of a killer from two different perspectives. Detective Super Intendant Stella Gibson (played by the brilliant Gillian Anderson of the 'X-Files'), and the other Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan of 'Once Upon A Time') a father, a husband, and as we soon find out, a serial killer. Stella Gibson is hot on his trail in this provocative game of cat and mouse that will leave you questioning everything you thought that you knew! (Overdramatic, I know.) This show has had two seasons and the third should be coming sometime in 2016 so catch up now!

3. 'Nurse Jackie' (2007 - 2015)

'Nurse Jackie' is a dramedy by every definition of the word. Although it is sometimes categorized as a comedy, it is clear with its emotionally hard-hitting stories addressing addiction, and its penchant for wit and comedic timing, that this is in every sense of the made-up word, a dramedy. It stars Edie Falco, nine-time nominee, and two-time winner of the Golden Globe. With those stats you know she has the serious chops to pull off the fantastic Nurse Jackie Peyton. Her sharp wit in contrast with Zoey Barkow's (Merritt Weaver) subtle humor makes for a show worth watching.

2. 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' (2015 - present)

'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' may be one of the more popular shows right now, but to leave it out of this list would be blasphemy. 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' starring Rachel Bloom premiered on the CW in the fall of 2015. A musical comedy with sharp wit, a true pleasure each second that it graces a television screen. The story of 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' begins with our protagonist, Rebecca, wanting to shake up her highfalutin New York attorney lifestyle and move to West Covina, California. Oh, did I mention that her childhood fling just happens to live there? 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' has an astounding soundtrack, and all of season one is waiting for you on Netflix! Season two returns to the CW Friday, October 21st at 9 p.m. ET.

1. 'Galavant' (2015 - 2016)

'Galavant' is phenomenal. When it first flitted to the screen in 2015 I was befuddled at how a show could do what 'Galavant' was doing. I would describe it as a medieval musical comedy, with a modern day sense of humor. Never have I known a show to know it's own tone and audience so completely. Galavant's fantastic run was cut short only at two seasons but now there is a prospect for Netflix to renew it. That means even more binge-able material to come! Bonus: The music for this show is written by Alan Menken, whom you may be familiar with through the piles and piles of glorious Disney music he has given us. Get to watching!


Happy Binge-ing!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
