If you’re anything like me.... you’re throwing your hands up and praising God for making it through another semester of school. College is no joke. It means a lot of all-nighters, too much Starbucks, and a book sack that kills your back because that one professor insists you bring your textbook to school (yes that 500-page textbook). So, while I could go for a massage and a lot of sleeping in, the thing I’m most excited about is binge-watching all my shows that I never have time to watch during the semester. Christmas break becomes a little better when you throw on some pajamas, pop some popcorn, and sit by the fire binge watching some juicy shows (yes I’m pointing to you Shonda Rhimes!) Here’s my list of highly recommended shows for a night of hot chocolate sipping.

1. Grey’s Anatomy

This season is killer; I don’t know how I fall in love with Meredith more and more every season but I do. Plus, it could be considered educationally if you want to go into the medical field.... yes that’s how I justify re-watching every episode for the second time!

2. Stranger Things

Two seasons out on Netflix and I’ll admit, I was waiting for this one since I saw the finale of season one!

3. Will and Grace

Eeeekkk! I had never watched until Hulu decided to put all seasons online, and they just started filling another season. I love Will. I love Grace. But my favorite combo is definitely Karen and Jack. If you watch this show, you understand my love for Mrs. Karen Walker! Be prepared to laugh until you cry, with frankly no educational purpose at all!

4. The Crown

Season two is available on Netflix, and I could not be more excited. If you’re a little nerdy like me, you will love it! Plus, the actress playing Queen Elizabeth is 100% perfect. Watching the show and learning history makes me not feel bad for not getting out of bed to watch all 20 something episodes. Watch this, I promise it won’t disappoint!

5. How I Met Your Mother

Enough said. If you haven’t watched this, then I feel sorry for you. It’s on the same level of funny as "The Office," and if you don't already know how he met her mother, then you better find out ASAP!

6. The Office

This one never ever gets old. My entire family and I have seen this show so many times and we will literally be in tears laughing so hard. If school isn’t working out for you, you can always apply for Dunder Mifflin.

7. Gilmore Girls

An oldie, but a goody. If you just want to fill all warm inside, turn this one on! They also just released 4, hour and a half episodes, which will probably leave you in tears with a box of tissues in your lap. Is it possible to have happy and sad tears at the same time?

8. Speaking of tears... This Is Us.

Y’all, this show is some kind of good. Literally. Your entire family will love this one. This show is actually running now, so you have two seasons to catch up and prepare for its return in January! Do it. You won’t regret it.

9. Game of Thrones

To be honest, I haven’t watched it yet, however, it’s been highly recommended for it to be on my list. This is a top priority for me so I can finally keep up with everyone’s tweets and Halloween costumes referencing it.

10. Parks and Recreation

This one is a super funny show. Leslie might become your new best friend after watching this one. Or make you want to work in the nearest recreation department. This one is an easy and entertaining show for your entire family. I throw this show on anytime I’m multitasking: writing a blog, wrapping gifts, folding the 4th loads of laundry I’ve put off hanging up.

So there you have it. Your winter break won’t be complete without some binge watching.... so pick your taste and eat all the yummy treats your mom is making for the neighbor next door (whoops, sorry Mrs. Pam.)

Also... if you don’t have Hulu or Netflix accounts, make sure to sign up as a student and get that discount! While Netflix will play 3 episodes then you’ll get the “Are You Still Watching?” don’t feel bad, you aren’t alone. I mean don’t we deserve a nice break from the library and highlighting notes? Yeah, I’m pretty sure we do!

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
