Favourite Boxsets for a Rainy Day

Hi all!

Autumn has definitely arrived here in Wales, with non-stop rain and the cold starting to creep up on us. Don't get me wrong, I love this time of year but sometimes there's nothing more you want to do when it's pouring outside than to cosy up with a duvet and pop on some well-loved TV shows. I know I'm not the only one!

Here are some of my favourite boxsets that I find perfect for rainy-day viewing.

Friends

I mean, this one's a no-brainer! I've never met anyone who doesn't love this show, and it always manages to perk me up regardless of how many times I've seen the episodes. Not only are the episodes hilarious and have the best cameos, but the characters super relatable. We all know a Pheobe, right?!

Gilmore Girls

As previously mentioned on our Summer Favourites post, I've been super obsessed with this show since the whole 7 seasons appeared on Netflix over the summer. It re-introduced me to a show I used to watch after school and now I don't know how I went so long without watching Lorelai & Rory's hilarious lives and sarcastic comments.

Gossip Girl

Again, this is probably a no-brainer for many of you reading this! This show started when I was a teenager so I was 100% hooked from the beginning, but can re-watch the episodes and not get bored. The lavish lifestyles, the Upper-East-siders' wardrobes, the Humphreys' Brooklyn loft: it's such a different world from many that you can easily get sucked in and binge watch!


Gavin & Stacey

This may not be such a popular choice for some of you, and maybe some haven't heard of it, but this show never fails to make me laugh. It also helps that it's filmed in South Wales, so it's super relatable and I've grown up visiting the places it's been filmed. One of my favourite scenes will always be James Corden and Sheridan Smith rapping to Estelle's American Boy.

 

PLL 

This show is definitely my guilty pleasure. I got hooked from the influence of S and another housemate from Uni who were serious fans of the show from the beginning, which I'm both grateful and maybe not-so-grateful for because I'm now so invested that I can't stop watching! I mean, will we ever find out who A is?!

What are your go-to tv shows to watch on rainy, dull days?
I hope I haven't inspired whole-series binges with this post, but I'm now off to grab a cuppa and get some more Gilmore Girls on the go...

Happy watching!

#STUDENTMONDAY: 10 Things We'll Miss About Living With Our Besties

Happy bank holiday Monday everyone, we hope you're making the most of this gorgeous three-day weekend!

For our last Student Monday post, we decided to reminisce our second year at University. We have so many funny and fond memories from this year living in our little student house that we decided to share with you our 10 things we'll miss about living with our besties.

1. Being Seconds Away
If we were feeling bored, happy or sad, we knew we always had each other to go to for a chat, moan or talk about anything any time of the day or night. It's such a great feeling to be surrounded by a group of amazing people you can bond with so much!

2. Dominos Night
Three words: Two for Tuesdays. This treat would help us through hard days at Uni, and was a time for us to socialise and relax.

3. Getting Ready Together
This was like having your own personal stylist, DJ and make up artist with you to get ready before a night out (because you always need a second opinion regarding the evenness of your winged eye liner!)

4. Pretty Little Liars Sessions
By the end of season six, us and Katie from BOTT were obsessed with this show. We didn't just watch episodes, we would end up reading predictions online to try and work out who A is, I mean WHO IS CHARLES?!

5. Half-Hour Goodnights in the Hallway
Usually before you go to bed you wish your housemates goodnight and then go into you room. This didn't happen with us! Almost every night it would take us half an hour to say goodnight to each other as we always found something to talk about outside the bathroom!

6. Cooking
Whether it was cooking spag bol, burritos or baking pancakes, dinner time was always a social part of our day in the house, with the kitchen being the hub of all kinds of food!

7. Sundays on the Air Bed
Courtesy of Turner Turner, Sundays were always reserved for lounging on the air bed we'd set up in the lounge for eating snacks and watching episode after episode of Real Housewives. For us, this was the only way to end/start a long week.

8. Working Together...With all of us having a constant stream of Uni work to do, it was always good to know that we weren't missing out on any fun, and all motivated each other around deadline-times!

9. And Procrastinating Together!
After hours of work, we were all more than happy to take (possibly too many) breaks and distract our minds with many games of Heads Up and crazy YouTube videos like this one!

10. Late Night Ice-Cream Runs
Sometimes, Ben and Jerry's and some girly films are the only answer to long weeks and deadline days. We're thankful for the group trips to Tesco to top up on ice-cream after a bad day and never being judged for our sweet treat cravings!

We woke up like dis... Halloween Edition...

So there are our top 10 things we loved and will miss about living together in our Uni house. We could've gone on and on!  Be sure to check out two of our talented housemates: Because of the Times and half of Turner Turner and show them some love!

Do you have any funny or fond memories that you have with your housemates? Let us know on Twitter, we'd love to hear them!

We'll see you on Friday for a round-up of May for our last post of the month.
