Winter break has finally arrived for college students! It is a great time to relax and be with family, but for those of us who have a winter term, it can also be incredibly long. Sometimes we need a break from the craziness of our family (even though we love them), or we need a distraction from how much we miss our friends. Luckily, we have the awesomeness that is Netflix, and those of us that live in the middle of nowhere have the new, awesome creation of Netflix downloads to enjoy. So, here are my top 10 suggestions for shows you should binge-watch on Netflix during this long break.
10. Grey's Anatomy
If you have not yet entered the world of Seattle Grace Hospital, winter break is your perfect opportunity to do so. While the series does take a downturn in quality after season eight, you will quickly find yourself heavily invested in the lives of the surgeons and their patients.
9. One Tree Hill
This series also doesn't carry its high quality throughout its entirety, but it is still an excellent show. There's high school drama and basketball. What more could you ask for?
8. How I Met Your Mother
Ted Mosby's adventures toward finding love are chronicled in this hilarious series. If you're looking for something fairly light-hearted and funny to watch, this show is for you. Just be warned, you might not be completely satisfied with the ending.
7. Charmed
This is one of the most underrated shows of all time. It follows the Halliwell sisters as they face the battles of family, love and...oh, yeah...witchcraft.
6. Parks and Recreation
Amy Poehler's wit and humor. Christ Pratt being adorable and hilarious. Ron Swanson being...Ron Swanson. This show has it all. Definitely watch it if you're looking for a good comedy.
5. Private Practice
Unlike "Grey's Anatomy," this show is excellent from start to finish. It is actually a spinoff of "Grey's" and follows Addison Montgomery and her colleagues at a medical practice in California. If you like "Grey's," you will love this show.
4. Parenthood
A big family faces countless drama, but in the end, they're always there for each other. If you're having some trouble with you family over the break, take a step back and hang out with the Bravermans.
3. Prison Break
Two super hot guys try to escape prison. It's intense. It's exciting. It's amazing. And you can catch up on this show before it is revived at the beginning of 2017!
2. Friends
No matter how many times you've seen this show, it is never a bad idea to re-watch it. You'll laugh. You'll cry. When you're missing your friends, watch six of the best friends anyone could ask for.
1. Gilmore Girls
It's the best. Just trust me. Watch it.
Whether you're watching these shows for the first time or the 50th time, they are sure to keep you entertained. With a good dose of binge-watching every day, we can survive winter break.
