6 Netflix Shows To Binge This Summer

Because who needs a life?

We are already a month into summer and if you are looking for something to do all day other than sleep, binging on a show is a next-level way to relax. To those of us who get really into certain shows and can't seem to do anything else, I guarantee all of these picks will have you obsessing.

So, grab your popcorn and ice cream because here are the top six shows you have to watch this summer. (Not in any particular order because, let's face it, shows are impossible to rank).

1. "Friends"

If you haven't already watched friends, I don't know where you have been doing all of your life. Not only does the show have 1990s and early-2000s nostalgia written all over it, but it mixes comedy, romance, and lovable characters. I am not even kidding when I say that I am pretty sure I have seen every episode 20 times and can repeat lines from memory. You have to give this classic show a try, you will be watching it on tbs for years to come. (BTW Chandler is hands-down the best character).

2. "The Office "

Another classic, you have to watch in order to live. The Jim and Pam romance is debatably the best part of the show, but the awkward humor and witty script make this show amazing. It is relatable in the weirdest way, whether you have worked in an office or not. Since the episodes are about 20 minutes, it is really easy to watch a whole season in one sitting. Trust me, just try the show through season two, you won't regret it.

3. "Gilmore Girls"

I don't know why I always thought this show was about old women (probably the title). I just started this show myself, I think I am half-way through season two, but I can already tell I am obsessed. It has that wholesome feel of Friends, complete with the cutest mother-daughter relationship, not to mention a couple of cute male characters (including Chad-Michael Murray). Definitely worth the time.

4. "Dexter"

If you are more into the psycho-murder shows then this one is for you. Cute psycho, check. Romance, check. Crime AND humor, check. The plot is actually very well-written and the sister and brother got married and divorced in real life. Talk about drama.

5. "Breaking Bad"

This show also has a different vibe from the first three, but if you enjoy drama, action, crime, and sprinkle in science and drugs, then this one is perfect. The characters have some twisted lives and morals, but all the better. You wouldn't imagine that your high school chemistry teacher would team up with an ex-student to make meth, right? Wrong. This show is a must watch.

6. "Riverdale"

media.giphy.com

This show is definitely the cheesiest of them all, but what do you expect from a show adaptation of the Archie Comics? The real reason anyone lives for this show is Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Betty (Lili Reinhart), who are dating in real life by the way. But if you can get past the cliche and cheesy moments, the plot and acting are actually really good and represents a wide-range of people. So, if you are a fan of "Gossip Girl" (not bad at the beginning, but I couldn't finish it) or "One Tree Hill" (attempted once, could not get past the first episode) you might want to give this one a try.

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. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
