15 TV Shows For When You're Looking For Something To Binge

The CW

We've all done it - accidentally watched an entire season (or series) of a show in a very short amount of time. I don't know about you, but I am always looking for something new to watch. Here are some ideas so you don't get stuck watching "Friends" for the 38th time...

P.S. All of these shows can be found either on Netflix or Hulu for your enjoyment. Happy streaming!

1. The Handmaid's Tale

Giphy

Based on a book of the same name, this show is a look into a dystopian society where the handmaids are misused for their ability to bear children. Definitely worth checking out!

2. Jane the Virgin

Giphy

This show is where soap opera meets telenovela - in other words, it's HILARIOUS! It follows Jane, who is still a virgin, but becomes pregnant due to a medical mishap. Gina Rodriguez is phenomenal, so if you haven't seen it, get to watching!

3. One Tree Hill

Giphy

The Scott brothers are classic #goals. This is an old one, but worth a watch for those who have never seen it!

4. New Girl

Giphy

With great characters and excellent comedy, New Girl is one of my top picks. Join Jess as she navigates her way through living with three guys and making it as a teacher!

5. Riverdale

Giphy

Riverdale brings the old Archie comics to life. It's a thriller about the mysterious happenings in the town of Riverdale and the teens who try to solve the mysteries. Check this one out!

6. Stranger Things

Giphy

If you haven't seen this show yet, where have you been?! In a throwback to the 1980s, something strange (pun intended) happens in the town of Hawkins, Indiana. Follow Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Eleven as they try to find out what happened to Will.

7. Gossip Girl

Giphy

This is another old one, but it never stops being good. The Upper East Side is full of secrets, but Gossip Girl, an anonymous blogger, is ready to reveal them all. Make your guess - who do you think is Gossip Girl?

8. Reign

Giphy

This is one for all the history buffs. It tells the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her political engagement with the prince of France. Getting to see history come to life is interesting to watch, so definitely check it out!

9. Gilmore Girls

Giphy

Get to know the Gilmores, a mother and daughter duo who can quote way too many movies, drink enough coffee to keep you awake for 2 months straight, and have the most fun. Plus, they just did a revival season, so you don't want to miss that!

10. Imposters

Giphy

If you like fast-paced dramas, you will love Imposters. When his wife disappears and cons him out of all his money, he tries to track her down and find out what really happened. I highly recommend this one, so go out and watch it!

11. Black-ish

Giphy

This is a really funny show which deals with a lot of important topics, especially ones involving race. Plus, they just released a spin-off called Grown-ish, which streams on Freeform. Check them both out!

12. This Is Us

Giphy

This Is Us was the show that completely wrecked America this past year. Watch to see what love, family, grief, and hope look like. With phenomenal casting, I would recommend this show to everyone I know. Go check it out before the new season comes out this fall!

13. Parenthood

Giphy

Another family-centered show, Parenthood has many different storylines woven together to create a wonderful picture of a big family. You will love the Bravermans, there is no doubt about it, so give this one a shot!

14. Scandal

Giphy

Olivia Pope is a DC fixer, specifically for the President. She and her crew handle all sorts of scandals, all over Washington. I will warn you, though, the show gets kind of dark as it gets farther along, so be prepared. Overall, though, this is a very good show, especially if you like courtroom drama types.

15. The Fosters

Giphy

Follow Callie, a foster kid who has been in and out of juvie, as she and her brother find home with the Adams-Fosters. This show deals with a lot of important issues, but overall shows that love is what makes a family, not just blood.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
