A (Kind of) Comprehensive List Of The Best Titles Coming To Netflix In September

With a whole semester of procrastinating upon us, Netflix decided to lend a hand to college students everywhere by adding a great crop of movies and TV shows to their library this month. Check out the list below for some suggestions and honorable mentions!

September 1 – "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" AND "The Adventures of Sharkboy & Lavagirl"

As if the recent addition of Disney movies to the Netflix lineup didn't invoke enough nostalgia, Netflix has decided to add two more classic 90s childhood staples. Mr. Rogers' striped sweaters and wise advice almost seem even better and more relevant now from the perspective of a college student. On top of that, everyone knows that Taylor Lautner started his career as a heart-throb way before Twilight thanks to that cute, skin-tight Sharkboy costume. Grab some popcorn and friends and ditch the stress of the semester by reliving your childhood.







September 12 – "It Happened Here"

This 2014 documentary by director, Lisa F. Jackson, highlights the stories of five student survivors of sexual assault. The film delves into the private and intimate stories of abuse, rejection, and humiliation of five women who have chosen to turn their struggles into catalysts for change, particularly in how sexual assault cases are handled and resolved on college campuses nationwide. The film partnered with the White House's "It's On Us" campaign and continues to be screened at colleges across the country.

September 14 – "Moonrise Kingdom"

This 2012 Wes Anderson film holds an impressive 94 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It follows the adventures of two young children on an island off the coast of New England after they decide to run away and pursue their love. The cinematography is just as unique and quirky as viewers have grown to expect from Anderson's films, as are the characters. At just over an hour and a half, this film makes for a perfect study break.


September 25 – "Parenthood": Season 6

Anyone who was anywhere near social media on January 29, of this year, saw the madness that erupted after the Parenthood series finale. Personally, I saw claims that it was the "best series finale ever," and that the series, "couldn't have ended better." After such grand claims, I am definitely excited to see what all the hype is about. Now that the final season of the sitcom is being added to Netflix, I see some serious binge-watching in my future.

September 26 – "The Canyons"

This 2013 LINDSAY LOHAN FILM (yes, you read that right) has a ridiculous 23 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It follows Lohan's character through a dangerous love affair and is one of those movies that is just so bad that it's good. It's perfect for a fun night in, with lots of wine. Plus, it's Lindsay. Duh.

**Honorable Mentions **

"Hamlet" (Sept. 1) – No need for Sparknotes when you can just watch the movie. Sorry, Prof.

"Rambo" 1, 2, AND, 3 (Sept. 1) – It's Sylvester Stallone and guns and classic 80s movie madness. It's a no-brainer.

"Drumline" (Sept. 3) – This film not only has great music, but it's Nick Cannon in his prime (a.k.a. pre-Mariah).

"The Walking Dead": Season 5 (Sept. 27) – Because everyone needs to get their zombie fix sometimes.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
