There are more great shows on the internet than Grey's.

There's this weird phenomenon that college girls watch a lot of Netflix. It's brand new and something that I have just discovered, and nobody has talked about it before ever. I promise. Because these college girls watch so much Netflix they run out of things to watch and end up watching the same thing all of the time. I get it, man. We've all been there. I was there at the start of this semester and then suddenly found myself in the same place where I usually find myself: rewatching "The West Wing". I just couldn't do it again, so I decided to venture somewhere beyond Netflix, and to try some new shows. Due to all of the above reasons, I have five new suggestions for you. And they're all good

Suits

I have to be honest, my dad suggested the show to me, and he was right, I enjoy it. IF you like legal dramas, and good fashion, this is the one for you. Use your student discount for Amazon Prime and watch the first seven seasons right now. Trust me. Also, Donna Paulsen.

Friends From College

If you liked Cobie Smulders in 'How I Met Your Mother',watch this. There aren't many episodes, and they aren't very long, but it's a good and easy show to watch. Also, it' son Netflix, and therefore, easier to find. It's all about adult life, and how it isn't perfect, but somehow it's still funny.

Fresh Off The Boat

I've got to be honest, I only watched this show because of Constance Wu and the fact that 'Crazy Rich Asians' was an amazing movie. I found it on Hulu, and there are a solid five seasons, and it's actually pretty funny, so give it a try, if only because of 'Crazy Rich Asians'.

This Is Us

I've said it once, and I'm going to say it again: 'This Is Us' is somehow still underappreciated. It's literally one of the most emotional shows on TV, is on Hulu, and has Milo Ventimiglia. LIke, honestly, what more do I have to say. Just watch it. Please.

Sex and The City

I also feel like Carrie Bradshaw isn't getting the love that she deserves, and it's probably because she's only HBO Now and not Netflix. Her movie is on Netflix, but we also get a student discount for HBO Now so it's about time that someone uses it and learns all about the icon herself.

I hope that you can enjoy at least one of these shows, everyone, but if not, I'm sure I'll have some new suggestions in a few weeks.No matter what, enjoy those amazing student discounts and watch some new shows on something besides Netflix.

14 Stages Of Buying Jonas Brothers Concert Tickets As A 20-Something In 2019

"Alexa, play "Burnin' Up" by the Jonas Brothers."

In case you missed it, the Jonas Brothers are back together and, let me tell you, they're giving us some major jams. For those of us who were there when it all began back in 2007 with their first album, It's About Time, this has been one of the most important events of the year. But nothing, and I mean nothing can rival the excitement every twenty-something felt as the Jonas Brothers announced their Happiness Begins tour. I, for one, put my name in for ticket presale, have been following every single social media site related to the tour/group, and, of course, listening to the Jonas Brothers on repeat. And if you did manage to snag tickets, then you know that this is how your brain has been ever since they announced the tour.

1. Finding out that they're going on tour

2. Hopefully entering your name into the lottery to get presale tickets

3. Finding out that you actually get to buy presale tickets

4. Impatiently waiting for your presale tickets by listening to their songs on repeat

5. And remembering how obsessed you used to be (definitely still are) with them

6. Trying to coordinate the squad to go to the concert with you

7. Waiting in the Ticketmaster waiting room...

8. ...And feeling super frantic/frustrated because there are about 2000 people in line in front of you

9. Actually getting into the site to buy the tickets

10. Frantically trying to find seats you can actually pay for because, let's be real, you're twenty-something and poor

11. Managing to actually get the seats you want

12. Joyfully letting your squad know that you've done it

13. Crying a little because all of the dreams you've had since 2007 are coming true

14. Listening to every single Jonas Brothers song on repeat (again)

If you, like me, have finally fulfilled one of your dreams since childhood, then congrats, my friend! We've made it! Honestly, of all the things I've done in my adult life, this might be the one that child me is the most proud of.

I Know I'm Late, But I'm Now Obsessed With David Dobrik

"If you liked this article, please give it thumbs up and subscribe!"

After coming home from the end of my first year of college, instead of unpacking like my parents would've loved for me to do, I turned to YouTube. I've always watched YouTube but I was never one of those teens that watched it so avidly that I would want to go to Playlist Live or VidCon.

Throughout the year, I received many recommendations to watch David Dobrik. Like most people I know, the recommendation went through one ear and out the other. Was he really worth the hype? Well, if you take a look back at the title of this article, you know the answer to that question.

One day, I decided to subscribe to David Dobrik's YouTube channel because I knew that if I saw a video created by him pop up with the rest of subscriptions, one of these days I would end up clicking on a video. That is exactly what happened. I ended up watching maybe two or three videos in total, but I didn't really become a fan. It's not like I didn't enjoy the videos I watched- because I did. I just didn't keep up with them. It wasn't until I came home from school and decided to go all in that I truly hopped on the David Dobrik-bandwagon.

Now, I truly understand what everyone was talking about. Not only is he hilarious, but his vlogs are super short (four minutes and 20 seconds to be exact). In a competition, I'd probably be named the "World's Worst Watcher" of TV shows and movies because I'm so impatient that I skip through the bad or boring parts that I don't want to watch. Contrary to this statement, I can safely say that I have only skipped through a video once only because someone was about to puke. He and his friends are always on the go, which is much more fun to watch than someone just sitting in front of the camera explaining what they are about to do instead of footage of them in action.

Most of the YouTubers I watch create lifestyle videos, like makeup tutorials, clothing hauls, vlogs of college students, etc. David Dobrik's videos are completely different from any of the others that I subscribe to. All of his videos are vlogs that show him doing the most ridiculous, yet entertaining things, whether it be buying his best friends expensive cars, paying them $100 so he can shoot them with a paintball gun, or going on spontaneous trips to Las Vegas. There's not a single moment through any of his videos that don't leave me with a smile on my face.

It's not just that his videos are short and entertaining. It's also that he seems like the sweetest and most down-to-earth human being. He cares so much about his friends so much that the focus isn't entirely on him but on them, which is something that you don't see very often.

I highly recommend that everyone watch at least one of his videos. It may be four minutes of your life that you will never get back but after watching it, you won't want them back.
