It’s midterms! You should be spending every waking hour in the library studying for your exams and practicing speaches for your big presentations coming up. While there are a few good students out there who do go to the library and rightfully prepare for thier midterms, most of us don’t. Most of us procrastinate. Most of us decide binging on Netflix is a much more productive way to spend the final hours leading up to our big tests.
If you’re like us and love Netflix, add these 8 originals to your binge worthy list.
