Congrats, fellow college students. You made it to Thanksgiving Break. I know how I'm going to reward myself for surviving the semester, and that is by binge watching my favorite movies and shows. Recently, Netflix has added new shows and movies to its library and it couldn't have come at a better time. After you catch up with friends and family, there are so many new series that are trending on social media right now that watching Netflix is all my break will consist of. Here is a list of new additions, favorite classics, and some in-between shows and movies that are perfect for after Thanksgiving dinner.
5. The Lizzie McGuire Movie
I included this throwback movie on the list because its perfect for stress relief. You know you cant help but to wish Lizzie will stop friend zoning Gordo, but the real reason to watch the adventures of Lizzie in Rome is so that you can sing “This is what dreams are made of” at the top of your lungs. “Sing to me, Paolo!”
4. 10 Things I Hate About You
This is such a classic teen angst movie, and no matter how many times you have seen it you will find yourself smiling and wishing you went to high school in the 90’s with Heath Ledger. 10 out of 10 would recommend 10 Things I Hate About You.
3. Shameless
I haven't started watching this Netflix series yet, but it’s definitely popular. It’s based on a British series, and its a drama about a family coping with the issues surrounding an alcoholic father. What sparked my interest was the hype around the character Lip Gallagher, the attractive yet troubled bad boy. That's my reason for binging.
2. Friends Thanksgiving Episodes
Take your pick of any season, but don't miss your chance to get your fill of Thanksgiving-themed laughs from your six favorite Friends. I highly recommend starting at season one’s “The One Where Underdog Gets Away,” and working your way through all of them. P.S. don't forget to watch the one in season 5 when Monica wears the turkey on her head.
1. Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life
Stop reading this, and go mark your calendar for November 25th, that’s the day after Thanksgiving, also known as the release of the Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix! We get to see the most iconic duo, Rory and Lorelei, back in action. This can also be seen as a perfect reason to have a throwback marathon of Gilmore Girls the whole week. This is the icing on the cake- or should I say whipped cream on the pumpkin pie- of my Thanksgiving break.
