I consider myself a bit of a T.V. buff, especially when it comes to sitcoms. I can't say if it's the crazy ensembles, the loose importance of continuity or just my love of laughter, but sitcoms seem to tickle that sweet spot in binge-watching.

I'm sure we've all been recommended a million shows to watch that are likely filled with dragons or zombies or cancer-ridden drug dealers, but I say we take a break from all of that heavy stuff and enjoy a laugh or two. To help you find the perfect comedy to binge, here's a list of 6 shows you're sure to enjoy.

1. "The Office."

I'll avoid beating around the bush and just start with the best. If you're a fan of the mockumentary style and an incredible ensemble and a remarkably awkward main character, "The Office" is perfect for you. Michael Scott's antics in tandem with one of the best love stories a sitcom has ever seen make this a seriously binge-able pick.

2. "Seinfeld."

Ah, the quintessential show about nothing. Though for a show about nothing, it sure feels like something. From the hilarious and incredibly stereotypically Jewish-New-Yorker minds of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, "Seinfeld" serves as a pretty timeless expression of all of the things that make us crazy, and lots of Kramer rushing through doors.

3. "Scrubs."

Scrubs, a funny spin on the medical dramas we know and love, follows J.D. through his residency and path to self-awareness while blurring the lines between reality and fiction on account of his over-active imagination. If you're not too into the medical side, it's worth sticking around for Turk and J.D.'s bromance and the unyielding wit of Dr. Cox.

4. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

I'm not too sure I can classify this as a sitcom because it breaks basically all of the rules. The characters are unlovable, the plots are incredibly insane and unrelatable and the humor is so inappropriate that you can't help but throw your hand over your mouth on account of shock. In spite of all of this, it's still one of the funniest shows ever made. If that hasn't gripped you, I have only two words: Danny DeVito.

5. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

Similar to number 3, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" offers a comedic spin on the all-too-popular procedural crime drama. It's a little hard to believe such a wild group of misfit law-enforcement officers could manage to keep an entire community safe, but they manage AND keep it funny. Fans loved this one so much that they ensured cancellation didn't mean it had to end, getting picked up by Hulu last spring.

6. "How I Met Your Mother."

An epic story told over the course of what is apparently one afternoon, the awkward and over-analytical Ted Mosby recounts to his two children the events that led up to, you guessed it, how he met their mother. Drawing inspiration from the classic "Friends," HIMYM is an emotional and comical roller coaster for its 5 main characters as they navigate their 30's in New York City. Trust me, its legendary.

Hope you're prepared to spend your vacation glued to your couch, eating Bonbons and watching one of these carefully picked gems. Hell, you're likely to get through a few Christmas episodes while you're at it.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
