Having the flu sucks! You can't get out of bed, everything hurts, and the boredom could honestly be the worst part. So, I have compiled a list of ten amazing shows that my friends and I binged while we had the flu.

"Grey's Anatomy"

What an addicting show! "Grey's Anatomy" can distract you from all the FOMO you are feeling from missing out on the world while you are stuck in bed. The plot is amazing — don't get me started on all the hot doctors!

"The Office"

"The Office" is easily one of the funniest shows I have ever watched. So, it will definitely distract you from feeling like you are dying. The flu sucks, why not laugh through it!

"Criminal Minds"

If you like mysteries and suspense you will love this show. Also, the seasons are super long and there are eleven seasons! So it will more than get you all the way through the flu!

"Dexter"

First, if you are into serial killers and their thought processes you will be addicted to this show! I've watched it like six times. It is super entertaining and thrilling. I would more than recommend you watch it!

"Don't Trust The B*tch in Apartment 23"

Great show! Very addicting. My friends and I all binge it together. The story line is genius and the actors are hilarious. It is also pretty relatable and easy to follow.

"Rick and Morty"

This show is a masterpiece! It is so funny and makes you think. I have to admit it is a bit inappropriate and strange but definitely worth the watch!

"Riverdale"

This show has the best plot. So many cliff hangers that have you bitting your fingernails! There aren't a ton of seasons to binge and you can probably finish it pretty quickly. I did, it was amazing!

"Queer Eye"

They came out with a new season! spoiler alert, it is amazing! I love this show. It is so entertaining and makes you feel good while you watch it. Perfect for when you are sick.

"Friends from College"

I didn't think this show would be as good as it was. I finished it in like two days! I was addicted and you will be too! Be warned, it is a new show so there are only two seasons, so your binge will be short-lived.

"American Horror Story"

Addicting to say the least! All of the seasons are new and captivating stories. I am pretty sure everyone who watches this show appreciates it. Also if you are trying to pick one season to watch I would definitely suggest coven.

Having the flu is awful and you feel gross. So, there is no harm in treating yourself to some Hulu or Netflix. Sit back and relax, that is the best medicine. Also, drink water and try to eat! I hope these ten suggestions help you get through it and if you don't see anything on here you like, I would suggest just taking a guess on a random show! Usually, you will be surprised.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

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.
