LOVE LIVING WITH HOST? Rebook for September 2024
In need of a Netflix binge? It’s always nice to settle in during a rainy day or a cosy night with something to binge watch.

Who knows, something like Emily in Paris may inspire you to spend some time further afield.

What’s it about: A Netflix original, Emily decides to leave her midwestern life for the luxury of Paris. But it isn’t all beautiful clothes and scenery, as learning to fit into a different way of living can be tough. And comical. Season 3 of the show has been confirmed, but no release date yet.
Starring: Reese Witherspoon.
Year Released: 2001.
Run Time: 1h 36m.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 70%.
What’s it about: A classic on Netflix. Legally Blonde is all above breaking down those outdated blonde stereotypes. When Elle Wood’s boyfriend dumps her on her birthday, she’s determined to do anything to get him back. But before you scream about how anti-feminist this sounds, the story is much more about discovering your full potential, and how amazing law school can be.

What’s it about: An oldie but a goldie, Vampire diaries premiered in 2009 (oof) but the series’ popularity hasn’t faltered much, and the fandom has had a bit of a revival since it appeared back on Netflix. Like the mythical creatures the show is based around, the show will never go out of style. But will probably get rebooted towards the end of this century. Until then enjoy all 8 seasons.

What’s it about: Childhood friends Georgia and Holly begin their first year of university, which is supposed to be an exciting time for new students, especially if you’re lucky enough to attend the same uni as your friend. They are soon dropped into a world of power and seduction that is underpinned by something sinister. You’ll be thankful for your normal uni life after viewing this.

An internship is a temporary job provided by an employer to give individuals, often students or recent graduates, practical experience in a specific industry or field. Internships can vary in length, ranging from a few weeks to several months, and typically involve tasks and responsibilities relevant to the industry or profession.
