So, you've found yourself in need of a few good, binge-worthy TV shows to get you through a few days. Maybe you've come down with some kind of illness (hello, winter flu!), or maybe this whole presidential business has got you feeling like laying in bed for a few days, pretending you don't exist. Whatever your reason is, look no further. Here's a list of eleven shows guaranteed make you feel better, or at least entertain you for awhile.

1. Parks And Rec

Because watching the amazing Leslie Knope try to make the world a better place is sure to warm your heart.

2. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Ex-Mole Woman or not, Kimmy will get you through.

3. Gravity Falls

Settle down to watch the shenanigans of twins Mabel and Dipper Pines, with quality humor and lovable characters that will make you forget your strep throat.

4. Twin Peaks

Get dragged in to the wild small-town drama of Twin Peaks, Washington, and take some time for yourself (and maybe some damn fine cherry pie).

5. Steven Universe

There is nothing more inspiring than the misadventures of a well-meaning and kind hearted human boy.

6. Community

A bunch of lovable weirdos in the same study group? This might as well be a documentary about your life.

7. Arrested Development

I bet you were wondering where all those "sassy rich woman" gifs were originally from.

8. Crazy Ex Girlfriend

Part musical, part sitcom, all relatable.

9. The Office

Because duh.

10. 30 Rock

There's a little bit of Liz Lemon in all of us.

11. Portlandia

The wacky cast of characters and lighthearted humor of Portlandia will keep you giggling until your cold medicine kicks in.

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.
