Five weeks of nothing but binge-watching TV shows.

Winter break is every college student's dream come true. Sleeping, adventure, (usually) no class work. It's the best time of the year. It's also Christmas and New Years, and the time for revolutions. Winter break is also a time to start and finish some binge-worthy TV shows. Here are my top _.

1. "Peaky Blinders"

A show starring Cillian Murphy (Batman Trilogy), Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park") and Tom Hardy ("Mad Max"). It's a Netflix Original series about a British gang trying to go legit and they have a long bumpy road that causes some major difficulty. It's a great show that reminds me of "Sons of Anarchy" with Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman, except they aren't motorcycle gangs and it's based entirely in Europe and it's in the 1920s.

2. "Luke Cage"

Who doesn't love attractive people with the heart of gold and who also happens to be invincible? Luke Cage is a great story about a man who was on the wrong side of the tracks but he was turned around and became a superhero, Wolverine style (because it was pretty much the same thing...).

3. "Jessica Jones"

Another Netflix Original about a super awesome heroine who kicks butt and solves crimes. She's a little rusty around the edges but she's great to watch!

4. "The Walking Dead"

If you're not already hooked on this show, please try it. Zombies, attractive people, survival. It has it all. The plot thickens and it's tastefully suspenseful. Netflix has the first six seasons and the seventh is airing now on AMC.

5. "Gotham"

Super (and not so super) heroes are in and I think I've made it clear how much I love them. The DC universe is expanded and given some light on the beginning of Gotham's worst criminals and the famed vigilante. This show also has attractive people doing awesome things (shooting guns, fighting with their fists, hero stuff). Netflix has seasons one and two and the third is airing now on Fox and streaming on Hulu.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
