Binges From My Netflix List To Keep You Intrigued

Here are some movies and television shows from my list that I think could have you hooked while you eat all the chocolate your mom sent you.

Binges From My Netflix List To Keep You Intrigued

Many of us may not have had a companion Valentine's Day 2020, aside from roommates, stuffed animals, and streaming services. That last one, however, has plenty of movies and shows for you to fall in love with for a good little while after V-Day antics.

Netflix recently dropped the second season of Narcos: Mexico on Thursday the 13th, and they added the fourth season of Better Call Saul around the same time; both of which are spinoffs of two of my favorite television shows of all time, aka Narcos and Breaking Bad. Nothing like some cartel-related dramas to keep your eyes glued to the screen.

There are also some less recently added things that I have yet to catch up on. I have yet to watch the critically acclaimed Netflix original films The Irishman and Marriage Story. Being a film studies major and a bit of an acting nerd, I've been excited to see Robert De Niro, as well as Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, act their asses off.

I've also been revisiting an old favorite on and off, Daredevil, the show I consider to be the best of Netflix's original series. I could possibly write a small book about why I think it might be the best superhero television show ever made to date. I may even write an article about it entirely when I can really dedicate the time to make my case for it (lawyer pun not intended).

There are also some incredibly well-made true crime documentaries that came out of Netflix, such as Don't F*** With Cats and Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez which are relatively new releases, and Evil Genius and Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes which are slightly older but are incredibly fascinating, for those who haven't yet checked them out.

There's also the wealth of content on other streaming services like Disney+, Hulu, HBO, Amazon Video, etc. as well as the recent theatrical releases, some of which I still have to see are Parasite, The Lighthouse, and Uncut Gems.

Movies and television can be companions, distractions, and windows into fascinating narrative worlds. And each one of them has a whole team of people who work incredibly hard to put together an on-screen production. Everyone has their own roles to play, and when it all comes together it can be an incredible work of art, which most films and series set out to be, but only a few achieve.

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.

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.

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.
