Netflix: God's gift to bored college students

So if you're a normal procrastinating college student like myself, you probably faithfully use Netflix. I've had a subscription for awhile now and I absolutely cannot live without it. Gotta have my shows. Winter break is the perfect time to start watching Netflix because you don't have anything much better to do. In this post I'm going to recommend a few of my favorite series that I have either completed or am currently watching.

Supernatural starring Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins

THIS SHOW. There's actually a funny story behind how I first started watching this show. I have a friend who is literally obsessed with Supernatural and has been for awhile now. She's also into Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, etc. So my other friends and I always kind of made fun of her for it. Fast forward to about two months ago; I had always seen posts about the show on tumblr and of course I thought Jensen and Jared were attractive so I thought why not? I GOT SUCKED IN GUYS. The characters on the show, you feel emotionally attached to them. And you always want to try to figure out the mystery before they do. But it really never happens. I am on season 5 now and the show is more plot based but I'm still hooked. And I've got a long way to go. 

FOR FANS OF: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel aka Mysterious Supernatural Dramas/Thrillers

Parks and Recreation starring Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, and Nick Offerman

I started watching this show over the summer I believe. It's really quirky and smart funny. The newest season is currently airing and I haven't had the chance to catch up. But I'd definitely recommend. All-Star cast, wonderful show. 

FOR FANS OF: The Office, Community, aka Workplace Comedies

Scandal starring Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn, Jeff Perry and Bellamy Young

Where do I even begin? This show will have you feeling emotions that you didn't even know you could feel. This show will have you literally on the floor in shock. If you don't watch this show already, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE? I haven't met someone who did not like this show once they gave it a genuine chance. I believe the first two seasons are on Netflix. If not the 2nd is definitely on Hulu Plus. And you may be able to catch some of the current season on ABC's website. 

FOR FANS OF: The West Wing, Revenge aka Sexy Political Thrillers

Weeds starring Mary Louise Parker, Hunter Parrish and Justin Kirk

I actually started watching this show when I was probably like 12 which was highly inappropriate but that's life. All the seasons are on netflix so you don't have to worry about searching anywhere else. But this show is really fantastic for real. You watch the characters grow and journey through life. Literally everything happens to them but in the end it works out. 

FOR FANS OF: Shameless, Orange is the New Black aka Criminal Dramadies

Hopefully you'll find a new favorite from my recommendations. Enjoy your winter break!

 Latch (Discloure) Acoustic by Sam Smith

I honestly have no words for how incredible this song is. His voice is the most magically perfect voice I have ever heard. I've played this song for many people and they are all blown away by his talent. If you like this, check out his song Lay Me Down. It's out of this world.

Everlasting Arms by Vampire Weekend

Okay, I used to be obsessed with VW but they took so long to come out with a third album and my musical ADD took over and I kind of forgot about them. Their album came out in May and I just started listening to it last month. It's actually pretty good. This is my favorite song off of it as of now.

Tom Ford by Jay-Z

Of course I had to have a little MCHG on here. This song is perfect driving music. Or at least for me.

He Won't Go by Adele

I don't know man, one day I randomly started listening to Adele and I happened upon this song and the rest is history. 

This Disorder by The Features

I heard this song on the radio a couple weeks ago and fell in love. It's kind of simple but with some really cool quirks. 

Sweet Love (Anita Baker Cover) by Beyonce

I was watching the Beyonce I Am World Tour and fell in love with her version of this song. I wish they had it available on mp3.

soooo, I haven't posted anything in a VERY LONG time. Mostly because I don't have a ton of time to sit down and write a quality post and partly because I'm too lazy be inspired. So yeah. This isn't going to be much of a post either. just more music!

All Time Low by The Wanted

I really love these guys, I pretty much fan girl over them sooo...But this is a really good song if you're into their kind of music.

Over You by Graffiti6
Oh man, I love this song. And his voice. And his face. Nuff said.

Wanna Dance With Somebody by Allstar Weekend
So I've been obsessed with them for the past month, and I'm sorry but this song just makes me really happy whenever I listen to it. And it's a nice homage to the late Whitney Houston (RIP)

Gimme A Kiss by Madi Diaz
I actually discovered this song on Amazon's free downloads (which is sometimes an excellent source of good music, so I HIGHLY suggest you check it out). But anyways, this song is so cute and peppy and wonderful.

         

I love Ed Sheeran so much, he is such a good lyricist, it's ridiculous. (see what I did there?) This song, and basically every song of his, touches my heart. His talent is beyond belief.

reck it all

Lately I've been really into trends from the '90s. Being born during that time, that decade will always be special to me.

Clueless 1995

CK One Ads

Fresh Prince of Bel Air 

Saved By the Bell

I Would Do Anything For You by Foster the People

I can not even begin to explain my love for these boys. I was surprised to discover that I haven't blogged about them before. But if any of you have seen my tumblr, you're well aware of my love for them. This is my favorite song by them, even though I love pretty much every single song on their album, Torches. If you don't know Mark Foster, Mark Pontius, and Cubbie Fink by now, then you're pretty late.

p.s. I'm going to see them in OCTOBER!!!!

White Dress by Parachute

Another band I absolutely adore. And they're also coming in a few weeks, but they're opening for the goo goo dolls(who I have no desire to see) and the tickets are $40 :(

But anyway, I LOVE this song, and their new album. It's fantastic.

Show Me Lights by Friendly Fires

Literally just discovered these guys two days ago, and I can't get enough. I had heard of them before, but I didn't bother to listen to their songs...But then I saw the video for "Hawaiian Air" (LOVE THAT SONG) and I was intrigued. I listened to all of their songs and loved pretty much all of them. This songs has an amazing groove...And the lead singer has some pretty sick dance moves that never fail to amuse me.

Too Fake by Big Sean ft. Chiddy Bang

I haven't invested a lot of time into listening to his music, but this is probably my favorite song by him. Mostly because Chiddy Bang is in it and I ♥ them.

My Love by the bird and the bee

I stumbled upon this song while watching a wedding video on youtube...I had heard their song "polite dance song" before and thought it was okay. But I pretty much fell in love with this song.

Houdini by Foster the People

YES I will put another FTP song on this post. They're so good I wish I could just put their whole album on this post. This song is AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG. just saying.

so anyways, I hope you all will discover your next music obsession from this post/playlist.

I have some REALLY good posts coming for you very soon. Probably in about 2 days !

(:

i made it through the wilderness

enjoy :)

living proof

I can't depend on you anymore.

Favorites from the SAG awards:

January Jones was stunning.

Mila Kunis, so pretty and unique.

Hailee Steinfeld's dress was perfect for her, fun and youthful but a sophisticated sillhouette.

Loved the dress, hated the makeup on Dianna Argon

Kelly MacDonald, gorgeous.

 Here are my favorites from the Golden Globes:

Olivia Wilde. Fabulous.

Carrie Underwood, gorgeous sparkle.

Mandy Moore, elegant and pretty.

Dianna Argon, sweet and beautiful.

emmys 2010

So, I'm a little late on this, but I just went back to school and I already have a crazy amount of homework so this is the first time I could get it in.

So Sunday was The Emmy Awards and I watch about half of it, I had school the next morning. But I DVR'd it and I'm pretty happy with the winners. Jimmy Fallon was pretty funny too.

So here are my favorites:

Claire Danes was so pretty and shiny and glamorous.

I think this color looked really good on her.

I'm a huge fan of Oscar de la Renta, and I think this was a great choice for her.

And I'm not going to do the ones I didn't like because, I'm most definitely not the most stylish person on earth and I have not always made the best fashion choices, therefore I have no right to judge anyone.

let me down easy.

The Style of Mad Men. I've been meaning to do this post for awhile now, but it kept slipping my mind.

I wish people still dressed like this.
