If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019re waiting for the school year to start just so you can do something<\/i>. You probably got the attack of the lazy and can\u2019t see yourself ever being productive in the near future. One of my favourite things to do during this summer slump is binge watch entire seasons of television at a time, so I thought I would write about that to cap off my summer blogging.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

For those just starting university, or for those looking forward to a fresh start, here are some TV shows and movies that will get you motivated and prepared for the school year. They are in no particular order.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

1. Gilmore Girls<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWho cares if I\u2019m pretty if I fail my finals?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

If you know me, or you\u2019ve been reading my blog posts, it should come to you as no surprise that I\u2019m starting this list off with Gilmore Girls<\/i>. This is it. This is the show that inspired me to study hard, get into U of T, and drink lots and lots of coffee.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the early seasons, Rory Gilmore was such an inspiration to me. Like myself, she didn\u2019t many friends in high school but it never seemed to bother her. She stayed true to herself, stayed focused, and, when it was down time, she indulged herself in books, movies, music, and TV. Though the show occasionally played Rory\u2019s tendency to overstudy to comedic effect, it was still an endearing character trait.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
