My Current Netflix Favorites

Hey Guys!
I just wanted to get a quick post up on my current favorite shows to watch on Netflix especially on a cold snowy day.  So lets get into some of my favorites.  Leave me some suggestions in the comment below!
1. Lost Girl, so this is probably going to make me look like a total nerd but I am ok with that.  I have loved Lost Girl since I found it last year, I am totally addicted to it.  It's the perfect amount of science fiction and bad ass girl and amazing plot all rolled into one show.

2. House of Cards,I honestly don't have much to say about House of Cards, it's absolutely perfection.  The plot, the casting, everything about the show is worthy of binge watching.

3. Mad Men, now this may just be me but I love the 60's I truly feel I should have been born then but that's a different topic.  I love the fact that it is based about both family and business in the 60's.  This is one of the few shows I will admit that I binge watched.

4. Blue Bloods, I will admit it, I have a serious love of crime shows and cop related shows as well.  But there is something about Blue Bloods that makes me watch episodes over and over even if I have already seen it before when it is on TV.  I can't decide if the family dynamic is what pulled me in or the way the plot is but there is something about Blue Bloods that has me by the heart strings.

5. Scandal, I know I know you probably saw this one coming, but you know what I am totally ok with that.  There is a reason that Scandal and even the character of Olivia Pope have such a hard core following.  Scandal is a show that keeps me guessing, it is the one show that I can never predict no matter how hard I try to.

I highly suggest that you check these shows out and let me know what you think in the comment!

Finals Week Tips!

Hey guys!
Sorry I have not had a post up for a while I have been super busy with school and projects. With finals week approaching at my University I have come up with some helpful tips to help get me through the week before my final exams as well as the week of finals itself.  Please let me know if you have any tips of your own!
1. Make a list! I am very much my mothers daughter in the sense that we both makes lists for everything under the sun.  When it comes to papers, homework, and make study guides, or study for a test I always make a list and prioritize things by what is due first.
2. Take 10 to 15 minutes between whatever work you are doing for one class before moving on the the next thing, there is nothing worse then getting stressed out because you just keep going and going.
3. Look at how things are weighed in each class, because you never know your papers could be worth more then your final exam! (Trust me I have had it happen)
4. Get a tutor or make a study group, sometimes someone explains something in a way that just makes sense to you.  Or if you have to try to explain a topic to someone else you realize you know more than you originally thought.
5. EAT!! I am guilty of not eating enough or eating super unhealthy things during finals week because I feel like I don't have time to eat.  You need to properly nourish your body if you want to be able to stay up all night studying.
I really do hope this helps someone as you all start preparing for finals!
