11 Netflix Shows To Binge When You're Having A Bad Day
Jens Kreuter

Sometimes, life gets you down and you just need to grab a snack and binge watch some TV shows. As of October 23rd, 2017, here are eleven shows to help you unwind and lift your spirits.

1. Parks and Recreation

This is currently my favorite show, and it's perfect to binge. Everyone I know who has watched Parks and Rec has loved it. With a huge cast of characters, endless jokes, and hilariously awkward situations, there is something for everyone.

2. America's Funniest Home Videos

There are a few different versions of AFV on Netflix, all guaranteed to make you laugh. While the full series isn't on there, it's enough to get you in better spirits.

3. Bill Nye the Science Guy

Relieve your childhood and learn something along the way! No matter how upset you feel, hearing "Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!" will get you hyped.

4. Bob Ross

Like AFV, there are a few different Bob Ross episodes. If relaxation is what you're looking for, he's the perfect man to watch. How can you be sad while listening to his soothing voice and endless optimism?

5. Friends

An absolute classic, it's no wonder that everyone freaked out when Netflix finally decided to add it. It has held up for a reason.

6. Futurama

While this show does have deeper messages, on the surface it's simply a great cartoon that draws you in with colorful animation, unique storylines, and witty pop culture references.

7. Mystery Science Theater 3000

If you're fascinated by older, B (and below) level films, then MST3K is right for you. The films themselves are bad enough to make you laugh, but the commentary from the characters is what makes this so good. Bonus: MST3K: The Return, is great too.

8. New Girl

It's nearly impossible to resist Jess and the boy's charm, and get invested in their strange yet lovable relationships with each other.

9. Ouran High School Host Club

I'm not really into anime, but I love this one. It's absurd, and worth paying attention to the subtitles for.

10. Phineas and Ferb

Another blast from the past. The brother's adventures are still fun to watch today even if it's to make fun of how crazy they are.

11. That 70's Show

Your regular teenage antics with a groovy setting. Easy to get lost in and unwind to.

Hopefully these shows will help you go from this...

to this!

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.
