COVID-19 has made our days lazier, our nights binge-watch sessions, and our routines a mess, but most importantly, it has distanced us from schools. Even though we attend online classes, nothing can give us the same feeling as attending physical classes– being with our friends, talking about our crushes, and gossiping about batch mates.
If you are waiting for your schools to reopen or have already completed your school education, Netflix has blessed you with some wonderful series to take you on a nostalgic ride!
If you are looking for some series to take you back to your school days, here are the 5 Netflix series surrounding school life!
1. Atypical

Sam encounters bullies and teasers– he has been the center of mockery several times. However, in his experience, he meets both the best and the worst people in his life.
For every one of us, the school has been a unique experience. We all have our battles to fight– just like Sam. Sam’s journey to finishing high school, finding a girlfriend, and making his dreams come true can fill all of us with warmth and give us numerous moments of relatability.
2. Never Have I Ever
