In the recent years, binge watching TV shows has become a regular past time for many people. With Netflix being as popular as it is, binge watching shows is easier than ever, and many people take advantage of that during the summer months. So here is a list of some of the best, most binge-worthy shows to spend your summer watching.

1. Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl centers around a group of young adults, living in Manhattan, who are spoiled and rich with problems none of us could ever relate to. With a star studded cast (including Blake Lively and Leighton Meester), all of whom are too attractive to be real, but the show is so addicting, I have personally watched it through four times.

Seasons: 6 (2007-2012)

Available on Netflix

2. Friends

Almost everybody has heard of Friends, but not everybody understands the references. The show, centered around 6 mid twenties adults living in New York in nice apartments and figuring out life and relationships. The premise sounds overly simple but the different things that these friends face will put your heart into knots and make you cry. This show made Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, and all of the stars as big as they are today. I have watched this show through three times.

Seasons: 10 (1994-2004)

Available on Netflix

3. Orange Is The New Black

Orange Is The New Black is a Netflix Original that is centered around an all womens prison in Litchfield. The show perfectly combines the inmates back stories with the inmates current situations. With many lesbian relationships and nude scenes, the show is very adult, but its totally worth the binge watching.

Seasons: 4, with a 5th season premiering June 9. (2013-present)

Available only on Netflix

4. New Girl

New Girl is centered around a girl, named Jess, who upon finding out her long time boyfriend has been cheating on her, moves into an apartment with three guys, all of whom are goofy and trouble makers in their own right, while Jess tries to keep them out of trouble. I have watched this show through twice.

Seasons: 6, with a 7th on the way (2011-present)

Available on Netflix, FOXNow, and Hulu

5. The Office

The Office centers around a small paper company located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, that was chosen to be followed around for about ten years for a documentary about the modern office. The camera men for the documentary captures all of the interactions between all of the employees and bosses, including romantic relationships and friendships, as well as the misguided actions of some of the crazy managers such as Michael Scott, played by Steve Carrell.

Seasons: 9 (2005-2013)

Available on Netflix

6. How I Met Your Mother

How I Met Your Mother is centered around Ted Mosbey, on his search for his soulmate, and the show is narrated by Ted, as an older man, telling his kids the story of how he met their mother. The show tells of Ted's misadventures with his four best friends (and his failed relationships) on his journey to find his soulmate. I have watched this show through three times.

Seasons: 9 (2005-2014)

Available on Netflix

7. Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy is centered around a surgical intern, Meredith Grey (who later becomes resident and attending) who begins interning at Seattle Grace Hospital. The show is an emotional roller coaster that will leave you in desperate need of some ice cream. Thats all the discription I can give for now, because the twists and turns of this show are too much. Me and my mom just finished season 12 on Netflix, and are attempting to find a way to watch season 13.

Seasons: 13, and has been renewed for season 14 (2005-present)

Seasons 1-12 available on Netflix, season 13 available on Hulu, Amazon Prime (for purchase), and most cable providers OnDemand (for purchase)

8. Lost

Lost centers around a group of people who survived a plane crash. The plane crashed onto a mysterious island in the middle of nowhere, and the survivors must find a way to survive on the island while awaiting rescue. Little do they know, the island holds way more secrets than they would have ever known.

Seasons: 6 (2004-2010)

Available on Netflix

Summer is always a great time to relax, and of course catch up on some shows. Enjoy!

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.
