Netflix and De-stress

It’s that time of year again, time to Netflix and Chill De-stress!

Now that a new academic year is upon us, it’s time to stop procrastinating on the important things in life; hanging out with friends, getting your laundry done, actually adulting, etc… but most importantly, Netflix.

Now I know what you’re thinking, “How could you possibly have time to watch Netflix when you’re a university student?!” but really, many of us turn to using Netflix as a coping mechanism for stress.

New semester stressing you out? Netflix.

Assignments coming up? Netflix.

Boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with you? Netflix
So in honour of the beginning of the fall semester, we’ve gathered a few suggestions to get you started on your annual binge-watching sessions.
