8 Suggestions For Wasting Time On Netflix
Netflic

It's the middle of the semester, and you are absolutely drowning in coursework. Is that the sound of five midterms I hear?--NO! It's the sound of Netflix calling your name, because nothing is more beautiful than running away from your problems and binge-watching TV series and movies until four in the morning. So, here are some suggestions to get your mind off those three papers and that group project due in a week!.

1. Grey's Anatomy


There are 12 soul-crushing, tear-jerking, wine-drinking, sob-inducing, binge-worthy seasons of this show for all of you science-loving, drama-needy, emotionally-unstable people out there. And guess what: there's a new season! It's the perfect time to drown your sorrows in hot neurosurgeons and unrealistic relationship expectations.

2. The Walking Dead

If you don't watch it, you've heard of it. With 6 seasons of gory, action-packed and surprisingly heart-wrenching episodes, you'll be crying over walkers and Carl before you know it. Hop on the bandwagon and hold on for the ride!

3. Marvel's Agents of Shield

Do you love Captain America and Iron Man? Do you hate that we have to wait so long in between Marvel movies? Well, fret no more, my dear sci-fi babies, because the Agents of Shield are here to rescue you! Just be ready for some unexpected tears and a lot of emotional baggage with this one, kiddos.

4. House of Cards

If you're into the more political side of things, then this is the show for you. Even if you don't agree with this TV-witty, liberal South Carolina politician, his brutal political game and cleverness will have you rolling around laughing and wanting to become as savage as he is.

5. The Borgias

Pope Alexander VI and his family have more drama than you think in this series. Inspired by the real Pope Alexander VI, this show has both a dramatic and historical feel to it, that will have your hearts singing and your interest piqued.

6. Terra Nova

Dinosaurs. Teenage drama. Science. DINOSAURS. This wonderful little sci-fi gem was cut after one season, much to our dismay, but the single season it did have was just enough to make us enjoy it. If you're looking for a quick binge (if there even is such a thing), then this is the show for you! And did I mention the dinosaurs?

7. Before We Go

This little diamond in the rough was both acted and directed by Chris Evans (aka Captain America for all of you insane people that don't know who that is), and has the perfect mix of bittersweet romance and cute fluff to make anyone happy.

8. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Yes, it is my goal to make you cry your eyes out. If you haven't seen this movie, it is a must-see. Not even counting the historical relevance of this story, the movie itself is beautiful and heart-wrenching. Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions before the end.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
