Finding something to watch is the hardest thing about Netflix. There are so many options...like thousands of options. It can take hours to pick what to watch if you don't already have something in mind. This list is here to guide you toward some Netflix original shows so you don't have to waste your valuable binging time searching for the right thing to watch.

1. The End of the F---ing World

The End of the F***ing World/Instagram

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 8

This clever dark dramedy follows two teens who set out to ~sort of~ find themselves. One is rebelling against her complacent life and the other thinks he is a psychopath (no big deal). Hilarity and chaos ensue as their adventure, that was adapted from a graphic novel, plays out through your favorite streaming service. The ending will leave you shocked and the awesome soundtrack will have you tapping your feet through all 8 episodes.

2. Godless

Netflix

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 7

The West is seen in a new light in this limited series in which a ruthless gang leader is searching for a former member. The man he's looking for, though, is hiding out in a town populated solely by women. The women are more capable than outsiders give them credit for and can protect their territory impeccably. The show screams girl power, especially for a historical series, and you'll be rooting for the protagonists all the way to their classic Western shootout.

3. Longmire

Netflix

Seasons: 6, Episodes: 63

As the longest series on this list, Longmire, will give you plenty of days and nights of watching. It's also a Western, but unlike Godless it is contemporary. The show was picked up by Netflix in 2014 after being cancelled by A&E, so technically it's a Netflix semi-original series, but that's enough to get it on this list. Set in rural Wyoming, the show follows Sheriff Walt Longmire and his associates as they deal with everything from cults to kidnappings.

4. Safe

Netflix

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 8

Safe is a crime drama about a widowed surgeons search for his missing daughter. As he delves deeper into his investigation he learns dark secrets about his wife and those close to him. The more the search intensifies, the more twisted the story becomes; you'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time.

5. Evil Genius

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 4

If you like Netflix's 2015 original docuseries Making a Murderer then this is the show for you. It covers the 2003 bank robbery in , Eerie, Pennsylvania that resulted in the bombing death of Brian Wells. The series examines all the main players and suspects involved. While the case is officially unsolved, the series piles evidence against one major suspect.

6. Jessica Jones

Marvel's Jessica Jones/Instagram

Seasons: 2, Episodes: 26

The great thing about all the Netflix Marvel shows is how gritty they are, they show a completely different side of heros. Jessica Jones is especially interesting because the lead is a woman; we don't often see female superhero leads (though Jessica doesn't consider herself a hero) and we certainly don't often see them with bad attitudes, foul mouths and "I'm not meant to save people" outlooks. She is more of a real person, relatable in her ways (and sometimes her struggles). Even though she's not the average, world-saving superhero, you'll want her to win every time.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
