10 Problems Only Netflix-Addicts Will Understand
http://hautemessmag.com/

We've all been there before. Some days all you really need is to just lay back, relax and spend twelve hours straight binge-watching a show you love on Netflix. Some of us bought our own account, some of us are poor college students who beg our friends and family for their passwords. Some of us watch Netflix in class and some of us huddle under a blanket fort and forget what daylight is. Some of us have a class at eight o'clock in the morning, but still stay up until four o'clock, telling ourselves "Only one more episode," over and over again.

No matter what kind of Netflix-watcher you are, any addict can relate to these 10 problems:

1. Your friends and family just don't understand the excitement you feel when Netflix adds a new season of your favorite show.

2. You feel insulted when Netflix asks you if you're still watching. I don't need your attitude—I'll tell you when I've had enough!

3. You lose your sense of time after a long binge. Is it 2 p.m.? 2 a.m.? What year is it?

4. Your family members or roommates make jokes about the fact that you haven't emerged from your room in forever. "Wow, look who decided to come out of hiding!" Ha ha, as if I've never heard that one before.

5. You have responsibilities and things you should probably be doing, but... one more episode can't hurt, can it?


6. There is no such thing as "free time" to you. Any time that is free can be used for quality binge-watching.

7. Sometimes people accidentally spoil an important plot point for you, but you keep watching anyway, because maybe the story will be different when YOU watch it.

8. When you finish a show you feel lost and empty inside. That is, until you start the next show, of course.

9. You're always forcing your friends to watch your favorite shows so you have someone else to commiserate with.

10. You sometimes go days without any social contacts, but weirdly, you're perfectly okay with that. The only friends you need are your favorite show characters.

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.

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.

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.
