5 TV Shows You'll Become Obsessed With

Every so often I find myself in what the Amazon Fire commercials refer to as a 'showhole'. A weird time when you don't have a show to binge watch, or you can't stick to just one show. Usually, this happens right at the beginning of summer, because I have so much more time to watch TV and no idea what to watch. Right now I'm in the middle of a showhole, and watching an abundance of different TV shows. Here are my favorite tv shows as of right now!

1. Bones

This has always been my favorite show. It is one of the few shows that I watch live and really need to keep up with. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Dechanel) is one of my favorite characters of all time. She is a genius, and complex character, and watch her develop over the years has been mesmerizing. Currently on its 11th season, it was renewed for one last 12th season to start at the end of this year, or sometime in the next. Bones follows a team of forensic scientists that team up with the FBI to solve murders in and around Washington DC. Episodes can be watched by themselves, or chronologically.

Where to watch: Thursday nights on Fox, Netflix, Hulu

2. Political Animals

This is a Netflix Original mini-series that I watched in less than a day. I originally started it because I wanted to watch Sebastian Stan, who gives a stellar performance as TJ, but was hooked by the complexities and motives of the other characters. This series follows the drama behind Secretary of State and former first lady, Elaine Barrish (Sigourney Weaver). She is confronted with scandals stemmed from her cheating ex-husband (Ciarán Hinds), her twin sons (Sebastian Stan and James Wolk), and a political journalist (Carla Gugino). I don't know much about politics but it reminded me a lot of the Clinton's. Overall, it was drama packed and hits a lot of tough issues, such as drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, and homosexuality. With five 42 minute episodes, and one 75 minute episode, you'll find yourself wanting more.

3. Gilmore Girls

I recently started watching Gilmore Girls from the beginning, in preparation for the four-part reunion special. I have slowed down my binging greatly as I near the end of the series. I grew up watching Gilmore Girls I remember coming home from school, putting on ABC Family, and watching that and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The show is fast-paced, witty, and filled with hilarious jokes. The quick paced dialogue is unlike any other show, and although the drama and relationship quarrels seem, at times, unrealistic, it is an overall great show.

4. Ink Master

Last summer I watched an Ink Master marathon on a rainy day during vacation. I have been hooked ever since. A TV competition revolving around some of the world's best tattoo artists is just as cool as it sounds. Even the worst tattoos on the show, are still amazing to me. Throw in the drama of angry human canvases, fights between artists, and even sometimes love interests, and it makes for the perfect show. Every week someone is knocked out during the elimination tattoo, and the season ends with a live finale featuring the top three artists. The last one standing is crowned the Ink Master.

Where to watch: Spike.com, Hulu

5. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

When this first came out on Netflix I watched it in maybe two days. I was crushed when I finished it. Finally, after months of waiting, the second season came out. I watched the first few episodes, slowly but surely I have been nearing the end of the season, watching sporadically since it was aired. Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) was locked in a bunker as a part of a cult since she was a child. Now a grown adult, she has to make herself a place in the world. Hilarious and ridiculous, you are never not laughing with this show. Cameos from famous comedians, such as Tina Fey, and Anna Camp, make the show that much more entertaining.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
