If you live close to UCLA, you might be lucky enough to have seen your high school bestie recently before summer – over spring break or a weekend, perhaps. But for those of us who live too far away to go home on the reg, meeting up with old friends can prove more challenging, especially if they are on the semester system.

Finally, it’s summertime: no more deadlines, no more exams and we can binge watch all of the TV shows we’ve missed, guilt free. Netflix takes up about 96 percent of my life, so it’s hard to limit myself to just 10 shows to recommend, but I think I’ve compiled a pretty binge-worthy list. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve already marathoned all of these, and I can’t emphasize this enough: If you haven’t seen these shows, your life is incomplete, and you will only be whole once you watch all of them.

Oh hello there, lovely Mojo readers!

I just wanted to introduce myself because I’ll be editing the content on Mojo this year.

Oh dear.

You’re graduating.

This is a disaster! Now you’ll never be James Franco. You can’t even be Ben Stiller, or any of our famous dropouts-turned-stars. I know you’ve worked hard over the last four years for that diploma, but you still have a chance!

So run, Forrest, run! Run for the hills and hide! Declare another major, tell the registrar that you actually flunked one of your GEs back in your first year; do anything, anything at all that would let you stay for just another year.
