5 New Shows To Binge-Watch On Netflix This Winter Break

Like any other college student, I love (and I mean LOVE) to watch Netflix, so now that most colleges are on a winter break, here is a list of new shows to binge-watch on Netflix:

1. Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life

If you haven't had the chance to watch it since its debut on Netflix in November, there is no time like the present. This revival features many of our favorite characters facing their crazy lives in interesting ways, just as they did in the original series. (*WARNING: the last 4 words will probably make you mad*)

2. Stranger Things

This show, which aired on Netflix in mid-July this year, has already gained an incredibly large fan base. Stranger Things pays tribute to the pop culture of the 80's by drawing from the works of Stephen King, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and so many others. The story follows the story of a boy who disappeared, the appearance of the telekinetic girl, and the investigations conducted by his friends, his older brother and mother, and the local police. This show definitely has peaked my interest!

3. The Crown

This TV show follows the early years of the United Kingdom's current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. You see a lot of how this woman came into her own as a ruler, and the people who helped her get there. Doctor Who's Matt Smith stars as Prince Phillip, Elizabeth's husband. The story is rivoting and one of the best shows I've ever watched before.

4. Too Young To Die

This show, which hit Netflix in 2015, follows the tragic deaths of celebrities who died far too young and so early on in promising careers. Some of the celebrities they talk about include Judy Garland, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, John Belushi, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, River Phoenix and a few other celebrities we lost too soon. The show offers insight into their deaths, and how the members of their families and other loved ones have dealt with the tragedy since their deaths.

5. Iliza Shlesinger: Confirmed Kills

Comedienne Iliza Schlesinger hit Netflix back in November with her new special. In this new special, she tackles being Chinatown drunk, party goblins, mermaids, and the TV show Shark Tank, along with many other hilarious scenarios and things. This is a comedy special definitely worth the watch, especially when you need a good laugh.

I hope that these shows will help you unwind and relax after a crazy few months in college. Enjoy your winter break, everyone! You've earned it!

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.
