8 Shows To Binge Watch This Summer
Huffington Post

Summer is a truly beautiful time of the year, and there is no better way to enjoy that beauty than by binge watching Netflix in your bed. Maybe you have air-conditioning. Maybe you just have four fans within a foot of your body. Either way, summer is made for binging!

You can always go with a classic binge like "OITNB," "Friends," "Making a Murderer," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," or "The Office." However, there are so many other great shows to choose from!

Here are eight shows you need to watch this summer:

1. "Peaky Blinders"

There is never a dull moment in this BBC series which follows the Birmingham based Peaky Blinders gang during the years following World War I. Cillian Murphy offers an amazing performance as the lead in this series, and spoiler alert -- Tom Hardy comes in during season two! It is the best show on Netflix!

2. "Flaked"


In contrast to Will Arnett's usual comedic image, this series portrays a very real and emotional situation. Touching on topics of love, friendship, and honesty, Flaked follows the life a former alcoholic as he faces struggles surrounding addiction and his future. Despite serious topics, the show certainly has its moments of humor and lightness.

3. "Scrotal Recall"

This British comedy follows a group of three friends as one is forced to confront all of his former partners after being diagnosed with chlamydia. It sounds strange, but as each episode replays a former relationship you can't help but relate to the awkwardness! Its a quick watch and it's worth it for sure!

4. "Documentary Now!"

Starring Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, this show is comedic genius! Every episode is a new mock-umentary, with new characters and a different variation of humor. The best part is how seriously they take all of it! If you liked SNL with these two, you will love this!

5. "Bob's Burgers"

This is a show that may take a few episodes to get into, but then it becomes so easy to get hooked on. The constant butt jokes and sexual innuendo epitomize stupid humor in the best way! The episodes are short and are honestly great for when you only have a little bit of time to Netflix. 10/10 would recommend.

6. "Master of None"

Aziz Ansari is on his A-game in this Netflix original series! Full of awkward, witty, and situational humor, there is something for everyone! There is only one season streaming, now, with a second set to come out in 2017. So it's really not to much of a time commitment for this binge, which is definitely a deciding factor, at times.

7. "My Name Is Earl"

Originally airing from 2005 to 2009, this is a lighthearted comedy series follows Earl, played by Jason Lee, after winning the lottery. He decides that he needs to make up for all of his past wrongs so that karma lets him have the money. This show is very similar to "Scrubs" in the type of humor. It's easy to watch and you will grow to love the characters!

8. "An Idiot Abroad"

In this reality type show, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant send their best friend, Karl Pilkington, all over the world. Seems harmless, but in each destination Gervais and Merchant make their friend participate and complete various activities. They usually aren't horrible! What makes it absolutely hilarious is how much of a pessimist Karl Pilkington is regarding everything he is doing.

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.

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.

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.
