7 Funny Shows You Can Binge In College
Den Of Geek

Long gone are the days of summer where you could stay inside on beautiful, sunshine filled days just to lounge around and binge watch Netflix on your couch. Now that we’ve all returned to school and are generally struggling on a regular basis, binge watching shows becomes a sacred time. A scheduled meeting, if you will, or a catch-up meal with an old friend. With available windows so few and far between, it can be overwhelming to watch five episodes of a show, only to not be able to return to it for a week.

That’s what this list is intended to resolve. Here are seven shows that are primed for the casual binging college student. They’re shows you’ve seen before, you’ve been meaning to watch, and maybe one or two that you didn’t think you would like but are now obsessed with. Most importantly though, they’re the shows that will provide for you everything you need in a good binge watch (or rewatch) (or third time through).

1. "It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

When you need to laugh and also feel better about yourself, this show is the move. 11 seasons of the most politically incorrect jokes for the five worst people you'll ever meet. The best part of this show is that almost all of the episodes are self-contained so you can watch in order or jump around. Perfect for that stop and go viewing experience!


2. "That 70’s Show"

This show is perfect for when you're delirious after a long week and just need something silly to make you laugh. I have never watched it religiously, yet I feel like I've seen every episode. With 8 seasons, all approximately 25 episodes long, you'll have to spend some quality binge time to finish this show.


3. "New Girl"

If someone hasn't seen "New Girl", I end all communications then. This show is a gift to us all. It's like "Friends" for Millennials (who have all watched "Friends" in its entirety). It's a comedy inspired by the life we want to live: an apartment full of friends who go on wild adventures that result in charmingly comical stories but ultimately teach us all lessons of life. Very casual viewing.

4. "Friends"

The classic. I refer to "Friends" as my palate cleanser TV show: I always go back to it in between shows when I need something good that I know will always make me laugh. After watching it through so many times, I know what my favorite episodes are so when I have just 2 hours to kill, I don't have to stress over what to watch.


5. "Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23"

I recently returned to this show to find its even funnier than I remembered. The jokes are so witty and the comedic timing is perfect. It's such a short show (R.I.P. canceled too soon), which makes it perfect for a casual binge.

6. "Arrested Development"

The most casual of all casual binge shows. You can binge hours of this show and never get bored. Your eyes might get a little glossed over, but that's the price we pay for good TV.

7. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

My friends have responded with mixed reviews about this show, but I personally think it's one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen. With only 3 seasons, this one can be binged quickly, but it's so perfect. Maybe it's because I'm a Tina Fey fan ride or die. Maybe it's because the jokes are so wicked smart that I pee my pants laughing. Maybe it's because I've genuinely been told that Titus Andromedon is my spirit animal. Regardless, I highly recommend "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" for your next binge.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
