With the weather in Gainesville getting cooler, it’s time to cuddle up with your roomies and pick something fun to watch while you procrastinate your homework. Sometimes committing to a long movie is too much for the night, so instead, it’s time to pick a show that you’ll make your entire personality for the rest of the year. In lieu of rewatching the same show you’ve been watching for years, try one of these:
1. Sex and The City
Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, this six-season show follows the four women navigating the New York City dating scene in their thirties. Each with their own successful career, the girls display an incredibly strong relationship with each other despite the chaos the men in their lives create.
2. Pretty Little Liars
This may be one you watched in middle and high school, but it’s always fun to return to for a binge. Starring Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell, Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario and Sasha Pieterse, the seven years of teen drama they go through will keep you on the edge of your seat. As the girls band together to tackle the anonymous “A” they reveal some dark secrets of the past and create new ones that will haunt their future.
3. Friends
An absolute classic when it comes to a sitcom. With the amazing cast of Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, the six of them will make you laugh, even after a bad exam. The classic show follows 6 friends navigating life in New York City through their mid-twenties to mid-thirties. Of course, the friendship is heartwarming, but the relationships that grow throughout the show will make your heart incredibly happy.
