Your Must-Watch Summer Netflix Binge List
How to Binge Watch

So you're on Summer break and don't know what to do with yourself. What better time to start binge watching some shows on Netflix? But what to watch? We all know the struggle of trying to find your next show to binge so I'm here to help make that process easier for you. Here are my top 5 shows to binge watch:

Grace and Frankie

Grace and Frankie is one of those shows that I kept seeing the preview for but couldn't bring myself to watch because I thought it sounded ridiculous. It is. That's why I love it. The family dynamics and relationships that this show looks at are so interesting and crazy that you can't help but binge each season in a day or less. Each sesason is simply 13 half-hour episodes but they leave you begging for more. Grace and Frankie is one of the most unique shows that I've watched and I've enjoyed every minute of it.

Gilmore Girls


Let's all take a minute to say thank you to Netflix for reviving this classic. I'm counting down the days until I get to spend my hours watching new seasons in the life of the Gilmores! Until this last year, I had not watched a single episode of Gilmore Girls and I can't imagine my life without Rory and Lorelai. They are my mother and I to a tee and I can imagine that many other mothers and daughters relate as well. As they take on the world together they do it with a sense of innocence and wonder and hilarity. I make references to Gilmore Girls on the daily and this is one of my all time favorite shows.

House of Cards

House of Cards is intense and I could not put it down. I watched most of it over Spring Break and I can't even complain that i spent my break in Des Moines because I had House of Cards to get me through. I am a political junkie and this show totally blew me away. I had heard of HOC but never brought myself to watch it until one day I was scrolling through Netflix trying to determine my next show and I decided to watch one episode to see what the hype was all about. That one episode turned pretty quickly into an entire season and I have zero regrets for spending my spring break with the Underwoods.

Parenthood

Parenthood is a wave of emotions. One minute you're laughing so hard that you're in tears and the next you're crying so hard you can't breathe. It's a rollercoaster but it's one of those rollercoasters that you have to get in line again and again and again to keep riding. My roommate started watching Parenthood and I caught episodes here and there and decided that I had to start from the beginning. It was so incredibly well done and I can't tell you the number of times I cried watching this show. I could relate so well to this show and I'm only 22, I'm not even a parent but I can imagine that Parenthood hit the nail on the head.

The Blacklist


The Blacklist is one of those shows that I had heard about here and there and never really thought much of until I was searching for my next show for the summer and a friend suggested I watch it. I have not stopped. It is ridiculously intense and has a similar feel to Criminal Minds and White Collar (I can imagine, I have yet to actually watch White Collar) and each episode blows me away. The intensity and the relationships that we watch throughout the show fascinate me and I spend each episode trying to figure out the motive behind why Red brings Lizzie the case. It's incredible and I highly recommend bingeing it.

If I hadn't already spent so much time watching these shows I would definitely put them on my summer Netflix binge list. Check them out, you won't regret it!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
