As a student, I know we are all looking forward to a much-needed break. And week nine seems to be longer than any week of the semester. Nonetheless, Broncos, we are so close to spring break!
For some students, their spring break is packed with vacations, parties, and the first chance of the year to enjoy some fun in the sun. However, more individuals are opting to stay at home for their spring break. We hope that this selection of binge-worthy shows will help you pass the time during your “staycation!”
In this modern and lavish take on England’s Regency era, we see the outlandish melodrama of “Gossip Girl” meets the high societal expectations of period pieces like “Pride and Prejudice.” It’s juicy and undoubtedly devious. The best way to classify this show is that it’s just pure fun. And as a bonus, season two will be dropping just before spring break on March 25, 2022!
