7 Shows To Binge-Watch Over Winter Break
Tumblr

Us college students have a long winter break ahead, and what better to do than nothing? This semester has been killer, so while we take this month off from life (in reality just school), let's binge watch the best of the best. Below are my six favorite shows that you can watch right now on Netflix.

1. "Stranger Things"

Sci-Fi Horror, 1 Season (2016-present)

As a Netflix Original series, this show is based during the 1980's in Indiana. A local boy goes missing and his mother, Joyce, is willing to do whatever it takes to find her son. While his mother and closest friends are searching for him day and night, the chief of police launches his own investigation. With all of their stories and theories put together, will they be able to find Will or does the government intervene?

2. "Nurse Jackie"

Medical Comedy/Drama, 7 Seasons (2009-2015)

While she's struggling to find a balance between her hectic job at a New York hospital and a wide range of personal problems,this sarcastic and pill-addicted E.R. Nurse strives to give her patients the best care possible. Because she knows the ins and outs of the health care system, nothing can stop her.

3. "Grey's Anatomy"

Medical Drama, 12 Seasons (2005-present)

Honestly, how can I create a summary of this show? Between the drama, witty comments, amazing surgeries and comical situations, I would name this show number one for entertainment. It's no wonder Grey's Anatomy has been on for 10+ years. It's based on a group of interns starting their career out at a teaching hospital in Seattle, Washington. Some will take the challenges as they come, but some won't make it out. Not to mention, the men.

4. "How to Get Away with Murder"

Legal Drama, 2 Seasons (2014-present)

Annalise Keating is a professor of Criminal Law. She chooses a group of her best students to work in her practice and help her solve her cases. As bad ass in the courtroom as she is in the classroom, she defends the worst of criminals and always find a way prove them innocent. The intense cross-examinations and twist and turns of this series are guaranteed to keep you entertained.

5. "One Tree Hill"

Various Genres/Drama, 9 Seasons (2003-2012)

After a four-year jump in time the young adults of the fictional town Tree Hill, North Carolina strive to keep their careers alive and friendships strong. Brothers Nathan and Lucas have been through a lot together and apart while pushing each other through every obstacle and hardship life has thrown them. Plus, they aren't too hard to look at.

Example A:

6. "Shameless"

Comedy-Drama, 6 Seasons (2011-present)

Based in Chicago, this show follows a dysfunctional family of an alcoholic father and a runaway mother. The leader of the pack and oldest daughter, Fiona, tries to help her family cope with their alcoholic dad all while trying to keep her life together and make herself happy. This show represents the crazy that we all are dying to let out.

7. "Orange is the New Black"

Comedy-Drama, 4 Seasons (2013-present)

The story of Piper Chapman, a woman that is sentenced to fifteen months in a Connecticut prison, she pushes her way through by making friends--and some enemies. By following the women of the minimum-security prison, you will see a variety of different personalities. I think what makes this Netflix Original series so special is the depth that comes along with each character.

Tip: Be mentally prepared for season four.

Happy Winter break, college students!

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.
