10 Shows On Netflix To Binge While You're Home With Your Family Over Break

When leaving home for college, there are a lot of times that you spend alone in your dorm room, watching different shows on Netflix. Everyone has their go to's, and in short, things that they will never stop watching. Once we venture home for breaks, whether that be over Thanksgiving, or winter, or spring break, we normally spend a lot of time with our families or friends, but eventually you find some down time to yourself to sit in your own bed at home and do what you do best: watch Netflix. Here are 10 shows you can binge in the comfort of your own bed, with home cooked meals, and pets.

1. 'Glee'

This show focuses on high school struggles such as popularity, fitting in, coming out, teen pregnancy and more. The show is touching, so don't be surprised if you shed a few tears along the way.

2. 'How to Get Away With Murder'

Giphy

Honestly, the first two seasons of this show are really the only good ones, but prepare yourself for plot twists and lots of lying. Bonus: Viola Davis is a QUEEN.

3. 'Grey's Anatomy'

Giphy

Wanna follow at least three different love stories at one time, whilst also getting in some hardcore observing hours in the OR? Well then this is the show for you. Pairs well with comfy blankets, and preferably a hoodie that is good for wiping tears away from your eyes.

4. 'Parks and Recreation'

Giphy

Leslie Knope is the true political queen that we all need AND deserve. Throughout her roles in Pawnee, Leslie Knope and the gang are constantly bringing humor and smiles to the table, so prepare to laugh with this one.

5. 'Jane the Virgin'

Giphy

This show has so much tea, and it spills it all over the place.

6. 'Dexter'

Giphy

Something about how Dexter Morgan whispers/narrates the episodes in his head is oddly... comforting? Follow his story of murders and navigating a normal lifestyle, while being kept on the edge of your seat with a different story line each season.

7. 'The West Wing'

Giphy

I have honestly never watched this show myself, but there has always been a large fan base for it. I remember being shown episodes of it in my AP Government class in high school and enjoying it. Maybe this will be what I binge over break?

8. 'Criminal Minds'

Giphy

Matthew Gray Gubler. Enough said.

9. 'Bones'

Giphy

David Boreanaz, also enough said. But also, Dr. Brennan is pretty cool.

10. 'American Horror Story'

Giphy

"Apocalypse" will be added soon! But for now, you should probably get caught up and at least watch "Murder House," "Coven," and "Hotel."

The best part about getting stuffed from all the Thanksgiving food is lying in bed afterward to recover while binging your favorite TV show.

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.
