Netflix: The Benefits Of Binging

It's exam week. You should probably watch more Netflix.

Netflix: The Benefits Of Binging
Huffington Post

It's exam week. Crunch time. Stress. Panic. Time to pull all-nighters and to cram junk food down our throats that we'll regret later on. But hey, amongst the stress and upcoming tests, there's Netflix. There's "Grey's Anatomy," "Prison Break," "Friends," "Parks and Rec," and "Parenthood" to binge by the season -- so listen to the bad influencing voice in your head that says "Yes, you can fit one more episode in before you really need to study." I know you're thinking, "There are tons of reasons not to listen to that illogical voice of reason." That's cool, but I'm gonna give you the benefits of binging Netflix anyway.

1. You can become an uncertified doctor

If you've watched Grey's, you're basically a doctor and every day is a beautiful day to save lives. Binge watch Grey's over the holidays and you'll be ready to assist in any tragedy.

2. You can break out of prison

I've never been to prison and I don't plan on going...ever. BUT. Just in case I'm framed and the government is after me, I'm totally prepared thanks to "Prison Break." Those brothers have escaped with unprecedented skills.

3. Relatable shows give you peace of mind

Who doesn't love "Friends?" No matter how stressed you are this week, you'll be able to relate to the lovable group hanging out in Central Perk. They always seem to be procrastinating work and responsibilities, too.

4. Your friends are probably binging, too.

How does this benefit your Netflix binge? You can gather together, bring food, binge watch, and study all at the same time!

OK, so I couldn't really think of more benefits to binge watch your favorite show during finals weeks. I'll admit this wasn't my greatest advice, but take it or leave it. It's finals week and we are all oh-so-done and ready to sleep. Good luck, students!

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.
