8 Shows To Binge Watch This Summer
Hello Giggles

Unless you're taking a summer course or going out of the country for the summer, you're probably going to have a load of free time on your hands. What on Earth could help fill up all of that free time? Netflix, Hulu, and any other places to watch TV shows! So here I have compiled a list of classic and new television shows to binge watch. #4 is and always will be a complete favorite.

8. "Degrassi: The Next Generation"

Remember rushing home from school on a weekday afternoon and waiting to catch up on the television show of the decade? Why not take a trip down memory lane and re-watch all of the things that Degrassi students took on.

7. "Switched At Birth"

Oh my, the twists and turns in the plots of the main story line make you want to get right to the next episode.

6. "Charmed"

The precursor to Disney's "Twitches," the Halliwell sisters were the bomb.com in the early 2000s. Prudence Halliwell will always be my favorite sister.

5. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

Buffy Summers, the vampire slayer who kicked *ss and changed the world of slaying. This witty television show made my childhood. (#TeamBangel)

4. "Faking It"

This MTV show is really cliched and has horrible acting, but is fairly funny and deals a lot with coming out and self discovery and is a perfect show for anyone struggling with being themselves.

3. "Scandal"

Who nowadays doesn't want to be Olivia Pope? Olivia is the real OG in the world of politics in this ABC series by Shonda Rhimes.

2. "How to Get Away With Murder"

This television show is so fast paced that it can drive you nuts. There's always something crazy happening in every episode and is a true piece of work by Shonda Rhimes.

1. "Gilmore Girls"

This is probably one of my all time favorite TV shows in the world. The witty banter cannot compete with any other TV show, and "Gilmore Girls" is truly a pop-culture vulture.

*These shows are in no particular order.

All of these shows are my favorite TV shows, and even though I've probably seen all of these series through and through more than five times, you can bet I'll be binge watching them again this summer!

School is out. Don't do drugs, watch TV!

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.
