6 Shows To Binge Over Winter Break

Christmas Break is here and free time is of abundance. Now you will have those get-togethers with your relatives like Cousin Eddie and Aunt Pam that will go swimmingly and the nights with your friends that you will enjoy, but what about all the free time in between? That's where you can binge watch shows on any streaming device, and enjoy laying back and just being lazy for a while, because you're awesome and you've earned it. Now let me tell you which six shows you should definitely binge watch this break, and get used to and where to find them. Let us begin.

6. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

Where to find it: Netflix

Set a full 10 years after the finale of the show, this hit returned a few weeks ago to the delight of many, and for you girls out there, it is worth a look if you watched the original show. 4 episodes and you get to go back to Stars Hollow, what could be better?

5. Timeless

Where to find it: NBC App, Hulu, YouTube.

Timeless is a brand new hit on NBC that follows three unlikely heroes as they travel throughout time to stop a criminal from altering the events of history in the world for his gain. They must be careful to not alter the timeline of events themselves in this thriller. If you enjoy history, this is right up your alley, and with it being only 10 episodes into its run, now is the perfect time to catch up before it resumes in January.

4. Gotham

Where to find it: Netflix, Hulu.

There are a plethora of superhero shows on television now with Arrow, The Flash, and Netflix originals such as Daredevil and Luke Cage. Why Gotham? Because it sets in the origins of the city and the childhood of one of the most popular superheros in the world, Bruce Wayne's Batman. Follow Bruce, Detective Jim Gordon, Catwoman, and more in the fast paced action drama that will give you goosebumps more than once. The development of stories for legendary Batman villains such as The Penguin, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and Professor Hugo Strange make this a must see. The first 2 seasons are already on Netlfix, and the first half of season 3 is on Hulu. Also, a Joke or two may be teased as well.

3. The Night Manager

Where to find it: Amazon Video, Itunes

The most obscure of the six shows, The Night Manager sure has star power with Hugh Laurie (House M.D) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki in various Marvel Movies) and is a six part mini-series from AMC (formerly from England). It follows Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) a Night Manager at a Hotel (What a concept) being persuaded by British officials to attempt to take down a kingpin in an undercover arms trade in Richard Roper (Laurie). It has received critical acclaim from all over the globe, and is a show that you would love to quickly binge and take the roller coaster ride that is The Night Manager.

2. The Office (United States)

Where to find it: Netflix

Why binge this? Because you can never have too much of "The Office". If you haven't started, there are nine seasons, so gear up for laughs galore, and plenty of enjoyable hours from a star-studded cast.

1. Stranger Things

Where to find it: Netflix

This Netflix original set in the 1980's is a show that you think is going in a certain direction most of the time. Subsequently, that direction you think it is going in, is the farthest thing where it was actually going. Follow a group of young boys as their friend Will Byers gets lost in an alternate realm, unbeknownst to them, and their quest to find him along with Will's family, the local rogue police chief Jim Hopper, Eleven, a girl with interesting powers of the mind, and countless other incredible characters. It is a sci-fi drama mixed with many things that are cherished from the 1980's. It has that big show feel to it, and you'll be hooked from the beginning. 8 episodes is what you have to work with before Season 2 is released next summer, but this is the #1 I would recommend to binge over Christmas Break.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
