1. Netflix is always available

Wherever you are, and whenever you may need it, Netflix will make time for you. Even on a short notice, Netflix is always readily available on your phone, computer, and TV. This means that you can either take it with you on-the-go or appreciate it from the comfort of your own bed.


2. Netflix knows you better than you know yourself

Netflix always knows best. When you are bored or uncertain of what to do with your life, Netflix provides you with a list of shows that are tailored to your own likes and habits. Like a gift that just keeps on giving, Netflix never fails to recommend new shows and movies for your viewing pleasure.


3. Netflix doesn’t care what you look like

Unlike a real boyfriend, Netflix doesn't ever care what you look like. It accepts you as you are, even on the weekends where you wear the same groutfit for 48 hours straight.


4. Netflix supports your junk food habits

Netflix will never make you feel insecure about your dietary habits, so forget about that salad and tear open a bag of chips (or 5 bags...). Also, it is no secret that real boyfriends eat A LOT, but when it is just you and Netflix, you will never have to share your precious junk food with anyone.


5. Netflix likes it when you are clingy

Unlike actual boys, Netflix will never ask you for space. Netflix likes it when you are clingy, for its sole purpose in life is to keep you feeling occupied and satisfied. What a keeper...


6. Netflix is forgiving


Unlike a real boyfriend, Netflix will not get mad if you ignore it for a while. It understands that you have a very busy life, and will always welcome you back with open-arms after being on a break.


7. Netflix doesn't force you to go out and be social

Having a boyfriend can sometime be demanding, but Netflix is not. Netflix will never force you to go to a party or spend time with its friends. It respects your need for alone time, and will continue to play new episodes until you are ready to enter back into the real world.


8. Netflix never forgets to check in on you

“Are you sure that you are still watching?”


9. Netflix is never boring

Some relationships can get boring, but Netflix knows how to keep you hooked. It remembers to “mix things up” from time to time, with the addition of new seasons, shows, and movies. So spontaneous!


10. Netflix won’t leave you

Boyfriends come and go, but Netflix is here to stay. It will never leave you when times get hard, and will always stand by your side if a real boy breaks your heart. Overall, Netflix is a reliable, lifelong companion.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
