Although there’s now plenty of time to improve your social life, it’s not the best idea to go out in public and socialize with a group of friends thanks to what led to our break in the first place. I personally encourage everybody to try their best to stay home as much as you can, since the entire goal of taking a break to school is to prevent any possibility of passing the virus to others, which can, in effect, eventually reach someone who the virus is fatal to. However, staying at home provides valuable time you can take for yourself to relax and release any tensions. It’s easy to become bored when you’re home, but luckily, I have Netflix recommendations that are helping me pass time and may help pass yours.
My first recommendation is definitely one of my favorite shows that I have ever watched: On My Block. I watched it when its first season came out in 2018, and I instantly became obsessed. I quickly watched season 2 when it came out last year, and, after another long year of waiting, I am now on season 3, which just came out last Wednesday. On My Block is about a group of friends living in a gang-ridden, predominantly black and Latino neighborhood in LA. I think one of the reasons I love the show so much is the way it gives me something to relate my Hispanic culture to. Nazareth obviously lacks diversity; I have no Mexican friends, but it’s comforting to see others like me on screen and makes me feel less culturally isolated. Because we live in a safe suburban area, I also think it’s important to see the reality that kids are faced with when living in dangerous areas full of gang violence. The show’s plot is very interesting and never bored me at any point throughout its story line, and it’s full of really good humor and characters that will grow very fond to you. I highly, highly recommend this show and hope I convinced some of you to watch it!
The second show I’ve been constantly watching is The Great British Baking Show. I’ve always loved watching Food Network and bake-offs, so I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did, because I don’t know what else I would do with myself if I didn’t have that show to watch. I finished the latest season and am currently working my way back. Besides the interesting challenges they have to complete, the judges and cast are so entertaining. They always make jokes, but somehow the fact that they’re British makes it so much funnier. I don’t know what about their accents is able to relieve all of the problems from my life, but it does. The contestants are always so kind and are constantly looking out for each other, which you don’t usually find with American cooking competitions. I also found myself picking up on weird British slang that I don’t know the meaning behind but use it anyway because I think it’s funny. Overall, it’s a really lighthearted and fun show that I really recommend.What shows are you currently watching?
