11 Shows To Binge-Watch This Summer

Whether or not your summer break has already begun, you might be finding yourself in search of a TV show (or two, or three) to indulge in this summer. Here are some shows that are guaranteed to have you hooked long enough for Netflix to ask “Are you still watching?”


1. Friday Night Lights

This isn't just for football fans (although if you are one, you'll love this show). And after only a few episodes, you’ll see what the whole Tim Riggins hype is all about.

2. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Part comedy, part musical, this show features hilarious, catchy songs and a main character who is the awkward person in all of us.

3. The People v. O.J. Simpson

If, like me, you're not too familiar with the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder case, this series will show you the ins and outs of the case while keeping you on the edge of your seat.

4. The League

Even if you don’t know much about Fantasy Football, you’ll appreciate the show’s raunchy sense of humor and the dynamic of the friend group.

5. Jane the Virgin

Jane's life is narrated Telenovela-style while she tackles the issue of being artificially inseminated.

6. Elementary

A modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes, this show resembles Law and Order with a touch of humor. While you're trying to figure out who "did it," Holmes is already two steps ahead.

7. Revenge

Sure, it has the characteristics of a soap opera, but it’s actually really addicting. Plus, the main character (Emily) is a total badass.

8. Freaks and Geeks

If you need a compelling reason to watch it, do it just so you can see James Franco and Seth Rogan before their heyday.

9. Prison Break

You’ll find yourself sympathizing for these prisoners pretty quickly. In the midst of wondering "How will they pull this off?" you won't be able to stop watching.

10. Broad City

The two women heading this show are brilliant. They're completely real and aren't afraid to make fools of themselves, which is really refreshing.

11. Lost

This show has a little bit of everything: drama, mystery, romance, and more. Even in the later seasons, you'll be asking yourself: what the hell is going on with this island?

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.

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.
