During winter break everyone wants a good Netflix binge. It's been a long term but now it's come to close and without any homework, studying, or extracurriculars taking up our time we are free to watch as many shows on Netflix as we can possibly cram into the month-long break. Lucky for you I've narrowed it down to five shows that will keep you intrigued from start to finish.

1. Gilmore Girls

Gilmore Girls

This show about a mother-daughter duo and their adventures in their small Connecticut town of Stars Hollow, in addition to their weekly dinners with mother Lorelai's wealthy parents as compensation for paying for daughter Rory's expensive private education encompasses love, drama, friendship and the unbreakable bond of a mother and daughter.

2. Jane The Virgin

This show, presented in the format of a telenovela, is about a 23 year old Catholic girl saving herself for marriage raised by her promiscuous mother and devout grandmother who gets accidentally artificially inseminated with the owner of the hotel where she works' only sample due to cancer. That's really all I can tell you without giving too much away unfortunately.

3. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

This Netflix original is about a girl named Kimmy who was kept in a doomsday cellar in Indiana with three other women by Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne for 15 years. She was released and after an interview in New York City she decides to stay here. At 29, she is very naive and confused by the ways of current-day city life and this show follows her journey with gay roommate Titus, peculiar landlady Lillian, and socialite Jacqueline. New season coming to Netflix in 2016.

4. Grey's Anatomy

This show is currently in its twelfth season so you probably won't finish it over break but you'll be so addicted your spring semester grades might suffer. Following the life of the Meredith Grey, daughter of a famous surgical genius, and the lives of her colleagues at the esteemed Seattle Grace Hospital from the first-year of her internship and beyond.

5. Gossip Girl

If you thought I was going to leave out the CW's best show about the hottest teenagers in New York, you thought wrong. Following the drama-filled lives of Serena van der Woodsen, her best frenemy Blair Waldorf, naughty boy Chuck Bass, everyone's favorite Nate Archibald, Brooklyn outsider Dan Humphrey and his younger sister Jenny, this show will keep you reeled in from the first episode. Not to mention the throwback music in the earlier seasons will give you life.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
