Say what you want: you work better under pressure, it's an easy assignment, you're just taking a break. We've all been there: procrastination station. And with finals week fast approaching, I thought I'd put together a list of the best TV shows to procrastinate with.

1." Jane the Virgin"

Before I started this show, I wasn't sure I would like it. It seemed too dramatic, too unbelievable, but once I started watching (and didn't stop) I realized that those reasons are exactly why it's perfect. There's suspense, drama, and endless plot twists, but at the end of the day, it's a wholesome, reassuring show. But be warned: you can't just watch one episode.

Binge watch rating: 8/10

I know this show gets a lot of flack, and I know it's not the most intellectual show. But that's exactly why it's great. After studying for ten straight hours, you deserve a mindless break and a little encouragement. After all, is there anything more encouraging than watching millionaires blow through money? You can watch a couple episodes, take a breather for an hour, and feel motivated to keep studying afterward.

Binge watch rating: 5/10

3. "Criminal Minds"

For those of you who want something a little more serious, this one's for you. Filled with drama and suspense, plus a dash of humor, I binge watched eleven seasons all in the summer before my first year of college. I keep coming back to this show whenever I'm bored, showing its true lasting power. Great for a TV break before bed.

Binge watch rating: 4.5/10

4. "Parks and Rec"

Ok, I have to be honest: I've only seen a few episodes of this show, but that notwithstanding, I love Chris Pratt's character. Nearly everyone I've talked to, however, is completely obsessed and insisted that I include it here. Filled with a great cast, humor, and Chris Pratt, what is there not to love? Did I mention Chris Pratt?

Binge watch rating: 7/10

5. "Making a Murderer"

I watched this over a year ago, and I'm still not over this show. It will make you cry, make you angry, and best of all, it will fully distract you from the stress of finals. And the best part: as more develops in the case, you can keep up with it in real time.

During the terror of final exams, projects, and papers, you can't forget to take care of yourself. Maybe you shouldn't spend an entire day in bed with your laptop...but hey, you, do you.
