Best Netflix Shows for When You're Procrastinating Studying for Finals

In This Article:

Classes are over and finals have begun. This means it's time to make use of the $14 I pay each month for my Netflix subscription. These are some of my favorite shows at the moment, and even some I re-watch all the time.

Atypical

I actually just started watching this show two days ago, and I am already on almost finished with it. Atypical is about a young adult with autism and his family, who are constantly adapting to changes in their lives. This is a great show because it has a captivating plot, but it's also funny. It's serious, but not too serious, if you know what I mean.

The Office (of course)

Who doesn't watch The Office at least once a week? If you live under a rock, and have never seen The Office, it's about a paper company and follows the daily lives of its workers. This is actually a good show to play in the background while doing homework.

Shameless

This one is really interesting. It's about a lower-class family and their struggles with life. The plot is good and the humor is even better. Make sure to set aside a lot of time if you're going to start watching this because you will NOT stop.

You

If you've heard anything about this show, you might be a little creeped out. Basically, a guy becomes obsessed with this girl he meets and stalks her. Like hardcore. It's really different and interesting if you're tired of watching love-entwined shows or cooking channels.

Santa Clarita Diet

This one is really, really interesting. The main character eats a special, magical oyster, which turns her into an undead zombie, who survives off fresh human flesh. The show follows her family as it struggles to adapt to her new lifestyle. This is actually one of the funniest shows I've watched in a long time, and I would definitely recommend.

Black Mirror

Apparently I'm just really into weird shows. Black Mirror is basically criticizing society's dependence on technology. Each episode is in a new world, with different characters. If you like sci-fi, then you should definitely give this show a try.

Altered Carbon

Set in the 23rd century, Altered Carbon is about a man who has been sent to the future, which he tried to stop. Souls are transferable and everything is ruled by technology. Again, if you're into sci-fi, you'll love this.

There you go, a complete list of awesome shows to keep your mind off the stress of finals. You're welcome.

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.

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.
