5 Netflix TV Shows To Binge Watch

Sadly, summer is coming to an end very soon.

You're probably scrambling as you try to figure out the best ways to spend your last couple weeks of summer. But relax my friend! I have the perfect solution for you.

But seriously, you've most likely been aimlessly clicking through Netflix all summer trying to find the right show to dive into. I got you. Here are five awesome shows on Netflix that you can get emotionally invested in before the summer comes to a close.

1. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Now, this show is absolutely hilarious. You may have scrolled past this show to watch the re-watch the 3rd season of Orange is the New Black the tenth time, but I swear OITNB isn't the only awesome thing to come out of Netflix. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt seems as it was set up for greatness. It stars former The Office actress Ellie Kemper and was created Tina Fey (otherwise known as the OG Goddess of Saturday Night Live). The humor of the show hit for me virtually every single time. The characters are quite lovable from the jump and you start to care for them quite quickly. Also, the show's short enough for you to finish it before the summer over. So, hop to it man. You won't regret it.


2. Bates Motel

If any of y'all are horror fiends like me, you're gonna love this Psycho prequel. This show deals with Norman Bates as a teenager, dealing with the usual teenage problems: girls, good grades, and murderous tendencies. Typical.

(Super cute, I know.

Freddie Highmore (whom you may remember from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) has grown up into a fine actor who portrays teenage Norman Bates beautifully and creepily all at the same time. It's absolutely worth the watch.

3. Bob's Burgers

It never ceases to amaze me how many people don't know what Bob's Burgers is when I tell them about it. But, I promise you, this show is incredible. The comedy is just so ridiculous at times it's genius. But I personally don't think that it goes into the realm of being offensive, like Family Guy. Every character is great. Every episode is great. It's just great. Whenever you need a laugh, Bob's Burgers is the way to go.

4. Freaks and Geeks

Everything Judd Apatow touches turns to comedic gold. And, this show doesn't disappoint. This is one of the best teen shows to ever grace a television set. The fact that is got canceled after a season of being on the air is just insane. I'll never understand how a show this legendary could have such a short run. It showcases a more relatable side to high school, that most shows love to sugarcoat and overdramatize. Also, it showcases the beginnings of the incredible comedic relationship that is James Franco and Seth Rogan. You can't get any better than that.


5. American Horror Story

This series is special my friends. The reason that it's special is because every single season is a complete story. So, this series is perfect for short-term binge watching. You can watch as little, or as much as you can handle without losing any part of the story. To me, every season is stellar and completely worth the emotional investment. (But the first and third seasons, are completely must watch.) I'd rather not tell you anything about the story, because American Horror Story is something that you should dust dive into and experience by yourself. So, have fun.

Now, you've got enough shows to fill up your time with quite nicely! You'll be watching the thermostat go down and leaves fall from the trees in no time.

Happy Binge Watching!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
