Being a full-time college student, I'm definitely busy. When I'm not in class, or studying, which takes up about 75% of my time- I'm working, working out, being an active member in clubs, and doing volunteer work. I have very little time to myself, especially time that is stress-free. My stress-free zone has become Netflix. I've watched at least 87% of the available TV series on Netflix, sometimes I even watch them through a third or a fourth time. Those few series that I have watched through multiple times, are obviously my favorite, but they are my favorite because I find them intoxicating. I fall in love with the characters and the story lines. It's almost as good as the high I get from reading a good book. Now I know what you're thinking, why is she wasting her time dedicating an article to her favorite TV shows on Netflix? I'll tell ya why. These shows make me experience every emotion in the book- I get angry, I get annoyed, I cry, I laugh, I get super excited, it goes on and on. These shows have become my outlet, each allowing me to experience a different time and place. I get to watch characters grow and most importantly, with each show being unique, I get to learn something different from each one. I've created a list of my favorite TV shows, with the life lesson I've learned from each of them, in hopes that maybe you will feel inspired to experience their special story too- or maybe just get a laugh out of it.

1. Grey's Anatomy

The best way to deal with life, in all situations, is a 30-second dance party.

2. The Office

Don't ever be afraid to laugh at yourself.

3. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Everybody has a lobster.

4. One Tree Hill

Tragedies happen, but there is always something worth fighting for.

5. How I Met Your Mother

Things happen for a reason.
