9 Shows To Binge Watch Before You Get Back To School

Because what else do kids our age do when they're not working?

9 Shows To Binge Watch Before You Get Back To School
BigBangTheory.wikia.com

I'm going to be completely honest with you here. This article was originally going to be about things to do when you're home from college and bored. Then it hit me that there are two problems with doing fun things: college kids are both broke and lazy. So, I thought of things that college kids actually do when they're home from college -- they work and they watch TV shows. But watching begs the age old question -- what should I watch? Well, don't worry my fellow college students, in my infinite wisdom, I have decided to recommend the best shows Netflix and other services have to offer so you don't have to scroll through a list.

1. That 70's Show

This show is hilarious and as an added bonus, you get to see Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher together when they were young and remember that they're married now. All the feels.

2. Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad is easily one of the best shows I've ever watched. It's the kind of series that makes you sad when you finish it but trust me, the last episode is worth it.

3. Criminal Minds

If you don't mind being disturbed to your very core, Criminal Minds is the show for you. As a big fan of crime shows, this one is definitely a favorite.

4. Law & Order: SVU

Sorry, Criminal Minds, but Law & Order SVU has a special place in my heart. If you're a fan of crime shows and girl power (shout out to Olivia Benson), definitely consider watching this one.

5. Friends

This one speaks for itself. It's an awesome show so I included it on the list, even though chances are you've probably already seen every episode considering it's on TV pretty much at any given time.

6. Grey's Anatomy


In the spirit of transparency I'll admit -- I've never seen a single episode of this show. But considering every other girl my age has religiously watched very episode, I thought it would be wrong to not include it.

7. How I Met Your Mother

This show is a classic for our generation and for good reason-- it's funny and it actually has a lot of sentimental moments.

8. House of Cards

Again, this is a show I've never seen. What I do know is it's about politics and my brother swears by it. So I suppose if you like politics and my brother, consider House of Cards.

9. Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones has taken over pop culture lately so obviously it deserved a spot on the list. I've never watched it but nearly every other person in America has, so with that, this show may be a good choice.

Happy binge watching!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
