10 Netflix Shows To Watch Instead Of Studying
Ashley Strube

It's hard to stay focused when you have one-hundred thoughts running through your head and twelve assignments/exams to do before the week is over. Studies have shown that for every 30-60 minutes of studying you should have a 30 minute break. This method supposedly improves memory and learning in those who apply it. So I figured, "Hmm. What better way to relax my tired brain, then to sit down with Netflix an enjoy an episode." So here is a list of some awesome shows to get your mind off the stress. (Hint: you'll probably recognize most of these.)

1. "New Girl"

This amazing show about a woman living with three guys is bound to make you laugh!

2. "The Office"

Feeling especially stressed? This show is sure to release some tension and giggles!

3. "Dinners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"

Listening to Guy Fieri always puts me in a good mood (besides making me hungry).

4. "Parks and Recreation"

Yet another irresistible show about work life.

5. "That 70's Show"

This show never gets old!

6. "Penny Dreadful"

Longer episodes than the shows listed above, but Penny Dreadful is a show full of mind blowing scientists, the undead, and the immortal.

7. "Frasier"

Never ceases to be a wonderful show that I can unwind to at the end of a long day.

8. "American Horror Story"

I'm biased, but you can't beat this. Same actors, different stories each season!

9. "How I Met Your Mother"

Fantastic show you are bound to get hooked on! That biology homework can wait!

10. "Friends"


A great show to watch while making flashcards or doing online homework (just saying).

There are SO many more Netflix shows I didn't acknowledge! The main point I want to share is: do not be consumed with studying, homework, and stress. Please take some time to enjoy the day. Unwind with a cup of tea and watch an episode or two before bed. Treat yourself for all the hard work you are putting forth to do well! It will pay off! Until next time, Happy October!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
