5 Exciting Binge-Worthy Shows To Watch On Netflix

If you're a college student, a high school student, or really just love TV, chances are you have a Netflix account. Whether it's yours or your family's, or your neighbor's, or your roommate's, it's really a valuable part of your downtime. And Netflix really does have everything, from indie films to Disney movies to sitcoms. But once you've gone through your typical binge of Grey's Anatomy or The Office, you might be looking for something new and refreshing. So grab your laptop and the snack of your choice and kick back the seat.

1. 'The OA'

Netflix Original The OA is a science fiction fantasy hybrid about a blind girl named Prairie who, after being missing for 7 years, suddenly returns to her home with restored sight. It's a thrilling plot line filled with alternate dimensions, intense originality, and stunning visuals. You'll be hooked from the first episode in.

2. 'Twin Peaks'

David Lynch's cult classic is equal parts crime drama, science fiction, and thriller, and is considered one of the most popular shows of all time. Set in the fictional Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks, an FBI agent investigates the murder of well known high school student Laura Palmer. With intriguing cinematography, plenty of satire, and quirky characters, Twin Peaks is a lot of fun that is also not quite what it seems.

3. 'House'


One of the most enthralling medical dramas, House is quite an intelligent show. Focusing on Dr. Gregory House and his team of advanced medical professionals, they solve cases with a mix of formal procedures like tests and diagnoses, as well as more non-traditional methods. Full of witty dialogue and exciting plot lines, House is where medical drama meets crime drama meets mystery.

4. Marvel's 'Jessica Jones'

Jessica Jones is a Netflix Original, based off of the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Krysten Ritter portrays the title character, who is a private investigator with what one would call "superhuman" abilities. Rich with dark themes and tense situations, Jessica Jones isn't quite your average Marvel flick. If you enjoy mystery and strong female characters, this is the show for you.

5. 'The X-Files'


One of the most well-known science fiction dramas is The X-Files, a show about two FBI agents working on cases that have to do with the supernatural and seemingly impossible. Skeptical as they might be, it turns out aliens and conspiracies and alternate dimensions may be all too real.

6. 'Stranger Things'

If you haven't heard of Stranger Things, chances are you've been living under a rock. You've probably heard your friends say things like, "watch Stranger Things!!" And they're right. You should watch it. Set in the 1980s in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, a young boy named Will Byers disappears. No one knows what happened to him, except perhaps for an enigmatic girl with telekinetic abilities. What surfaces from there is something more sinister, and well, stranger.

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.

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.
