As school starts up again and students start returning to school, we start to see all the posts about what to bring to school and what to leave at home. However, we never see posts talking about the first week of the semester where nothing really happens. Yup, we all know it and we all miss it once the semester really begins: Syllabus Week.

For the freshmen who don't know, Syllabus Week is the time where professors do almost nothing but go over the class syllabus and answer questions about the class, and nine times out of ten it's the week where people slack off the most. However, why slack off and spend the day out when you can sit in your dorm with a bowl of popcorn and binge-watch some Netflix faves? Here's a list of the best shows to binge on Netflix during this week:

1. Limitless (1 Season).

This is the story of a guy who takes a drug and is suddenly able to use 100% of his brain. He helps solve crime, and it's one of the best action shows I have ever seen. The cinematography is extremely well done! 10/10, currently waiting for season 2.

2. Gotham (1 Season).

Story of a tiny Batman as he lives after his parents tragic death. There's only one season on Netflix right now but it's very well scripted and insanely well done. It's basically Batman, but with a much younger cast!

3. Bates Motel (3 Seasons).

Now I have never been the right girl for scary things, but for some reason Bates Motel made the end of my second semester better. It's a little creepy, but only enough to get under your skin. Would not watch if one has a weak stomach.

4. The Gates (1 Season).

Full of plot twists and hidden secrets that make you question everything about your reality. It's really excellent, and Colton Haynes is in it. For me, that's enough to watch any show. The show was cancelled after the first season, so unfortunately that's the only season we'll ever get. Cue crying emojis.

5. Good Witch (1 Season).

A wholesome, pure Hallmark television show about a good witch. It's so innocent it'll make you question everything else you're watching.

6. Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (5 Seasons).

Now, I honestly doubt you'll be able to watch all five seasons of SVU in one week, but if you want to take on the endeavor then go for it. It's an excellent crime show about sex crimes, and again, I would not watch this if you have a weak stomach.

Happy binge-ing!
