Your Not So Basic List Of 9 Binge-Worthy Shows That You'll Never Get Sick Of

Yes, I do want to see Steve Harrington adopt children every day.

If you're sad, bored, or simply looking for a good way to procrastinate that paper you have due in three hours — television is always a great way to deal with any of the above. Some shows are simply not shows you can watch over and over for hours at a time, but there are some that are just so binge-worthy it's scary.

1. Stranger Things

What show could I possibly start with other than this classic?

Whether you're in the mood for some government conspiracy theories, extradimensional aliens, or even just some humor, Stranger Things is a definite go-to.

Who wouldn't want to watch Steve Harrington become the best mother Hawkins, Indiana has ever seen?

2. Sherlock

This show is one you can watch over and over and every time you watch it you catch a new and interesting line.

This BBC mini-movie series is awesome for a rainy day when you feel like you can pay a particularly large amount of attention to the television. Or, you know, just to watch Benedict Cumberbatch run around being the cutest detective you have ever seen.

3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine

While most cop shows are heavy and action-based, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is strictly humorous.

Even in some of the darkest moments of the show, our dear Andy Samberg finds a way to make it funny. Even if you aren't watching for the plot, just go ahead and watch it to hear Gina Linetti's classic lines.

4. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

While this show takes a particular kind of humor to appreciate it, it's still one of the most well-written shows I have ever seen.

The humor is dark and crude and truly will have you cracking up while watching it. Same with this show, you seem to catch a new and fun line every time you watch it.

5. New Girl

Awkward and eccentric, New Girl is one of those shows you can watch no matter how many times you've seen the episodes. It's never not funny, and that's a fact.

Jess Day's awkward personality paired with her eccentric male roommates never fails to entertain.

6. This Is Us

This show never fails to surprise its viewers. Every episode is an emotional roller coaster, but the absolute best kind of emotional roller coaster. Not only this, but it'll truly make you raise your standards in what you look for in a man. Unfortunately, no men will ever be Jack or Randall Pearson.

7. Rules of Engagement

I feel like this show is truly underappreciated. This show is similar to any sitcom, but still keeps you on your toes and laughing at all times.

8. Veep

If you thought Julia Louis-Dreyfus' role in Seinfeld ruled, you are not even prepared for her role as the Vice President of the United States.

Though the show is quite literally political, you still are never quite sure what political party Vice President Selina Meyer is part of. Her entire team is completely incompetent most of the time and you get to watch every shenanigan they get into over in Washington, D.C. Plus, it's pretty interesting to watch a show about the government without it being so dramatic and scandalous.

9. The Office

Yeah right, like I was going to forget the most iconic show of all time. This one doesn't even need an explanation. If you haven't seen it, your life isn't complete and that's final.

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.
