5 TV Shows On Netflix To Avoid During Finals Season

In This Article:

Finals season is slowly approaching, and if you're anything like me, it probably means that the desire to binge watch shows also slowly approaches. But I must resist the urge and avoid some of my favorite television shows on Netflix. Definitely, do not start watching these shows if your GPA means anything at all to you:

"Shameless"

This show centers around the Gallaghers, a dysfunctional family living in poverty in Chicago. The kids, Fiona, Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam all have their separate issues dealing with family, money, relationships, or school, creating more drama which leads to a good binge-watching session.

"Bodyguard"

This intense show keeps you on the edge of your seat in every episode. It focuses on military veteran David Budd, who is hired to protect controversial politician Julia Montague. They have completely different political views, but they must learn to trust each other. The tension between them is so severe that it leads to binge-watching.

"Gossip Girl"

This show is a classic, but still binge-worthy. The socialites of the Upper East Side always have drama in their lives, and it's interesting to see how they deal with it. And if it's your first time watching, you'll be glued to the screen if you want to find out who Gossip Girl truly is.

"The Haunting of Hill House"

This supernatural horror series follows five siblings whose paranormal experiences at Hill House continues to haunt them till the present day. It also flashes back to the day when the family departs from the haunted house. As the plot progresses, there is increased anticipation, which adds up to a chilling binge-watching experience.

"New Girl"

"New Girl" follows the life of a quirky woman named Jess as she moves into an apartment with three other guys. This is such a feel-good show that it leaves you smiling and laughing along with the characters in each episode. But it's not just another meaningless sitcom; there's an overarching plotline that makes you want to keep watching.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
