11 Shows To Binge Watch Instead Of Study For Finals
Collider

While in the midst of finals, study breaks are necessary and procrastination is unavoidable. My favorite way to escape studying is by binge watching whatever I can find on Netflix. Here are some of the best shows to watch on Netflix when you should probably be studying instead.

1. "Jane the Virgin"

This 40-minute-long mock telenovela will leave you on the edge of your seat after each episode. This show is funny, witty, and smart with characters you'll fall in love with. It's the perfect show to finish an entire season in a day.

2. "Friends"

This is an obvious pick, but one of the best. You can easily lose track of time and responsibility while watching episode after episode.

3. "How I Met Your Mother"

With so many seasons you can work through all these episodes over the entire finals week. You can also spend a lot of time procrastinating by trying to determine which HIMYM character you are most like. I'm a Robin.

4. "Friday Night Lights"

This drama will totally get you hooked. Tim Riggins himself can be quite the distraction.

5. "Grey's Anatomy"

Because watching a medical drama for hours is kind of like studying for bio, right?

6. "30 Rock"

I think during the stress of finals we can all relate with Liz Lemon a little bit.

7. "Gilmore Girls"

We want to be smart and ambitious Rory, but can be more like a resting Lorelei. Either way, this sweet TV show based on the best mother daughter relationship ever will keep you busy for hours.

8. "Dexter"

This show is a little more serious but very suspenseful. It can be scary, but not as scary as the calc 3 final you're avoiding studying for.

9. "Psych"

This witty comedy about fake psychic Shawn Spencer will have you enthralled from one crime scene to the next.

10. "Freaks And Geeks"

This cult classic features stars before they were stars like James Franco and Seth Rogan. The only downside to this one is that theres only one season. That also makes it perfect to knock out on a reading day.

11. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

This Netflix original is quirky and will have you laughing out loud.

If all these options don't meet your binging needs, don't forget about gems like "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation." Happy studying!!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
