12 Signs You Are Addicted To Netflix

Netflix: it started out simply, but it slowly manifested itself into an obsession. Also, at the worst time, finals week. It might have been a budding thing over the course of the semester, but it slowly got worse as the stress built up. If you watch Netflix, and you relate to any of the following 12 things, you just might be becoming addicted to Netflix at the worst time of the year.

*Please note, I do not own any of the following images.

1. It started out simply.

Something that you do every once in a while.

2. You start looking for a series to watch on the side.

You're probably towards the end of the initial series you went to Netflix to watch and need more.

3. Your computer starts to automatically guess the Netflix URL before D2L.

Yeah, yeah I know I have a paper due, but Netflix first.

4. You begin to lose sleep over it.

You start by making Netflix a reward for studying or doing laundry, but then you stay up till 3 a.m. watching episodes.

5. Along with losing sleep, you get offended when Netflix asks that dreaded question: "Are you still watching?"

Of course I am Netflix, don't judge me.

6. You start losing track of the number of episodes watched.

The continuous play button on Netflix? A blessing and a curse sometimes.

7. You try (and fail) to limit your watching.

You are addicted to Netflix, but you aren't willing to admit it just yet.

8. You finish re-watching the series you initially started and are begging for something new.

Some stories told through TV just speak to your soul. And if everyone is watching it, why shouldn't you?

9. You start wishing for plans to be canceled just so you can stay in and watch Netflix.

Honestly, you'd rather stay home watching Netflix than interact with other people anyway.

10. When you ask people to come over and watch Netflix, you literally want to do just that.

I'm not down for this Netflix and chill, I'm down to watch Netflix and just eat food.

11. You use Netflix to fall asleep.


You're re-watching things at such an alarmingly fast pace, they are like bedtime stories for adults.

12. You accept the obsession.

Yes, you're obsessed, and you no longer care to deny it.

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.
