Mad Men Is A Must-Watch On Netflix

If you're anything like me, you love coming home after a busy day and diving into your favorite TV series. "Breaking Bad", "Sons of Anarchy", "Prison Break", "Dexter", "13 Reasons Why"--Netflix has them all. "Mad Men", specifically, is a great choice to quench your thirst for all things business, comedy, and drama.

Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is a handsome, successful head of an advertising firm in the 1960s. The firm, Sterling Cooper, is one of many competing advertising agencies on Madison Avenue in New York. Don serves as a family man to his model wife, Betty, and numerous young children. Roger Sterling is a partner at the firm and a big wig, serving as the master orator and diplomat to clients and potential clients. He has a wife, Mona, and a younger daughter. Draper and Sterling take advantage of their looks and charm to get what they desire, regardless of how it impacts their relationships along the way.

The show, quite literally, makes you want to be in the shoes of main character Don. Picture this: a hustling, bustling New York agency. Bosses and workers smoking and drinking alike, fueling ad ideas and engagements with clients. Love affairs within the office, and a fair share of dirty dealings. This series allows you to be a fly on the wall of a true 1960s business environment.

If you're a viewer who appreciates workplace humor, juicy storylines, and an old-school vibe, "Mad Men" is the show for you. Give it a peep.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.
