5 Shows On Netflix That Will Keep You Glued To Your Screen

5 Shows On Netflix That Will Keep You Glued To Your Screen
netlfix.com

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who misses Blockbuster Video. Was it convenient? Not at all, but it was part of my childhood therefor I miss it. Nowadays we have a lovely website called Netflix. It is easy to use, fairly cheap and has a wide variety of TV shows and movies that will keep you from having to go to the movie theaters to watch a good flick. The one thing with Netflix that is both good and bad is that it is very easy to get stuck in bed for hours watching shows on Netflix. Here are 10 shows that will cause you to stay in bed all day and have your eyes glued to the screen.


" The Office"

A personal favorite of mine, "The Office" is one of the funniest shows on Netflix with its dry humor and quirky remarks throughout the nine seasons. This is a show where I have learned that you either love it or hate it and I am on the love side. Michael Scott, played by Steve Carrell, is one of the most unique characters in all of TV history with his terrific ability to make situations extremely awkward and uncomfortable.

"Parks and Recreation"

I didn't start watching this show until it was on Netflix. A friend recommended it to me and it did not disappoint. I watched all seven seasons in one week (I had strep throat, get off my back). Tom Haverford, played by Aziz Ansari, and Ron Swanson, played by Nick Offerman absolutely kill it in every season. Personally, I'm not a big Amy Poehler fan, but the characters of Tom and Ron override my disinterests of Poehler.

"Friends"

Like Parks and Rec, I never watched this show on TV, but when I discovered it on Netflix I absolutely crushed it. It premieres an all star cast filled with attractive women and hilarious guys. Like the shows above the episodes are a little over 20 minutes long giving you no reason to keep pressing, "Yes, I'm still watching."

"How I Met Your Mother"

Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) might be the worst character ever but Marshall (Jason Segal) and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) pick up his slack. It is filled with laughs and feelings of frustration because Ted Mosby is the worst kind of person.


"House of Cards"

I can't put words together to describe how insane this Netflix Original is. It stars Kevin Spacey who plays the character of Frank Underwood who is a legit psychopath. The only problem with this show is that the episodes are a little lengthy, but if you don't want to get out of bed all day then this is the show for you. Also, I like to think it's based on a true story of someone in our current American government. Probably isn't but one can dream.

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.
