10 Shows To Watch Before School Starts

10 Shows To Watch Before School Starts
I am Optimism Man

Once school starts again we won't be watching Netflix.

Okay ...that might be a lie, but the television hours will be seriously decreased. Here are the binge-worthy shows that I am excited to get into before school.


1. Wentworth

Set in an Australian Women's prison, this drama puts Orange is the New Black to shame. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy OITNB, but Wentworth shows an intensity and danger that isn't shown on OITNB. This show is not for those sensitive to ...well anything in the adult realm. I am not saying it is as gruesome as Game of Thrones, but it's close.


2. Glee


Most of us have seen this inaccurate version of high school life. What many may not know is that this show didn't end after the kids finished high school ...the stories have continued into their 20s. There is never a dull moment with this dramatic crew and watching their crazy lives might remind you that your life's not so bad.


3. Gilmore Girls

Guess who's back again? No but really. It is time to rewatch the original Gilmore Girls. Who wouldn't want to rewatch Rory grow up and go through all the awkward teen stuff? And the uncomfortable flirting between Luke and Lorelai gives this single girl hope for the future.


4. Mad Men

This show is set in the 1960s in The Big Apple. Mad Men follows a group of advertisers (I know sounds pretty lame), but I have a feeling that this is not your ordinary office crew. These cutthroat advertisers show us into the life of an entrepreneur. Who doesn't want a little flashback time?


5. Parks and Recreation

This one is a favorite for my roommate. This is an all-star cast and very episode is jam-packed with funny, clever and great one-liners. Parks and Rec is a must add for anyone looking for a good laugh.


6. Stranger Things

If you like science fiction and/or mystery, this show is for you. Netflix users have rated Stranger Things with 5 stars, and this is not an easy feat. After a boy vanishes from a small town, a strange little girl pops into the picture surrounded by secret mysterious experiments.


7. One Tree Hill

This is by no means a new show. I can remember hearing my older cousins talking about it while we were growing up but I was always too young to watch it. When One Tree Hill popped up on my Netflix I was reminded that I never watched it. Time to binge.


8. Scrubs

Full of inappropriate jokes and witty one-liners, Scrubs is a must watch for anyone stressed about life. One twenty-two minute episode later, and I was stress free. Between packing and getting everything straightened up for school, Scrubs is a must watch for anyone who needs a few laughs.


9. Dexter

Who doesn't love a story about a serial killer of serial killers? Talk about retribution. Dexter, while he may be a sociopath, uses his powers for "good" instead of bad. For anyone who likes revenge and dark humor this is for you.


10. House of Cards

Looking at politics today it is easy to think that everyone is crooked. House of Cards confirms that suspicion fully. Frank Underwood starts of as the house majority whip and slowly moves his way around like a snake. While being mad at him, you also want him to succeed ...and fail at the same time, maybe that's just me. This is not for all viewers and the third season is hard to watch but (I promise) it gets better. If you can power though then this show, it is totally binge-worthy.


Not all these shows are new, but they are all on Netflix. So binge away my fellow college students.

Binge away.

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.
