Maybe you're in between seasons of your favorite show or maybe you're waiting for the eight-years-later revival ("Gilmore Girls" fans, I'm looking at you!) So now what? Everyone knows that Netflix is the key to procrastination and procrastination is the key to college. Call up your best cuddle buddy (I actually mean cuddle, these shows are too good to "chill" during), get your favorite junk food, and check out the top shows to binge watch:
1. "Fuller House"
If you're like me and were the biggest fan of the original show "Full House," you watched the first season of this spin-off the day it came out. If not, get to it! "Fuller House" brings the best '90s references, new love, plus puppies AND babies. Plus, John. Stamos. I think I've said enough. Bonus: They've been cleared for a second season! Binge away!
2. "How I Met Your Mother"
A four-time Emmy winner, HIMYM brings the story of friendship and love while Ted Mosby (played by the awkwardly cute Josh Radnor) tells his kids all about, well you guessed it, how he met their mother. The show brings equal amounts of laughter and tears with other co-stars Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan and the always hilarious Neil Patrick Harris. Just don't come after me if you hate the writers for that final season - I warned you!
3. "Gilmore Girls"
Everyone wants a relationship with their mom like Rory has with Lorelai. Everyone also wants one of the many men that both women date throughout the series (#TeamLuke and #TeamJess, to be clear). Whether you've watched the series three times or have been too intimidated by the fast talking to watch it all, now is the time to drink a lot of coffee and re-live life in Stars Hollow before the revival comes out later this year. Rumor has it even the Gilmore's dog, Paul Lanka, has re-signed a contract.
4. "Jane The Virgin"
Wait, she's a virgin with a baby? But the baby wasn't adopted? I know, you're so confused right now. Meaning you should go watch this hilarious comedy featuring some Latina babes, some steamy love triangles and like, Fuller House, an adorable baby. You're missing out, go now!
5. "New Girl"
Jessica Day makes us all wish we could live in a loft with three dudes and have it not be awkward. Well, at least, she doesn't think it's ever awkward. This series is full of the perfect one-liners, a cat and a nerdy girl that just likes to sing everything. Basically your life in a television show. The fifth season is airing now, go catch up on the first four asap. I'm laughing just typing about it, it's that good.
6. "Grey's Anatomy"
You might want to hit up Costco for their gigantic packages of tissues before starting, or re-watching, this series. I could say it's all about saving lives and how being doctors change the characters for the better. But I'd be lying considering it's mostly about sexual tension. Grab your 'person' and cry with them as you watch.
7. "Criminal Minds"
You didn't think I'd leave out one of the best crime dramas, did you? Following along the behavioral analysis unit of the FBI, CM keeps you on the edge of the couch while still making you giggle and blush at the way Morgan talks to Garcia (All men should take note: that's how women want to be talked to). At least one cast member changes almost every season so make sure to start from the beginning, don't let the 11 seasons intimidate you, baby girl.
After watching one or all of these shows, Netflix should have some pretty good suggestions for some others you should watch. Or check back in with me when I'm on a break from a binge myself. Speaking of, I have a show to get back to...
