Whether it’s a series or a string of movies, today’s youth is known for binge watching. Day and night, we settle down and figuratively become a zombie.

There’s always so much to watch and enjoy. Here are typical thoughts that everyone who is guilty of binge-watching has had.

1. I’ll just watch one episode today

Then you proceed to watch ten because one alone is NEVER enough.

2. I should really go to bed now

It’s four am and an intense binge session has just occurred. Only sleep and food will prepare our bodies for the next one.

3. One More Episode

When the show just got to its mid-season climax, what right do you have to go to bed/ outside now? Surely one episode more will reveal all the secrets.

4. Why do my eyes hurt?

In your pitch-black rooms with the only source of light being our screen, it’s no surprise that your poor eyes feel sore after a while.

5. I should go pee but I’m sure I can hold it until the next episode

And proceed to hold it in till you’re in the middle of an episode and your bladder is ready to burst.

6. Yes, I’m still watching

In response to Netflix when it questions our life choices. Yes, I’ve been watching this from 5 p.m. and its 5 a.m. now – no problem here, please.

7. I need to socialize more

You realize you’ve spent the entire weekend in bed with food stains all over you. The idea of having friends is far away.

8. Wish I had someone binge watching this with me

Especially when there’s a sudden insane plot twist and you are absolutely freaking out but there’s no one to freak out with.

9. How long can this buffer for?

When the internet connectivity is having issues and all you just want is to see what happens next. *crying*

10. Now what?

You have finished the last episode of the show and you have no idea how you’ll function in the real world anymore. What is life? School? Homework?

But in the end, you’ll find another show to throw your attention and life at. Get your binge-watching survival kit ready!

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.

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.
