15 Thoughts While Watching The New Season Of 'Orange Is The New Black'
Bustle

It's that time of the year again. The time where we all crowd around our laptops and televisions and binge-watch Netflix's brand new season of "Orange Is The New Black." For some, this occasion lasts a solid 13-14 hours, while others who like to take their time beg the marathon-watchers to please not spoil anything without warning.

We all wait for the new season of "OITNB" like we wait for Christmas or a trip to Disney World or for our ramen noodles to cook when we stumble home at 1:30 a.m. and need something to eat immediately. And now the time is finally here.

No matter how you choose to watch the show that captured our hearts in 2013, there are many emotions we all experience while rolling out the episodes.

1. HERE WE GO. WE'VE BEEN WAITING 12 MONTHS, 365 DAYS, AND 525,600 MINUTES FOR THIS MOMENT.

How can a year go so fast and so slow at the same time? Didn't the last season just end? But it feels like I've been waiting 12 years in Azkaban for this season?

2. The intro song is way too long.

They might as well have put the entire song in it.

3. TRAPPED, TRAPPED, TRAPPED TIL THE CAGE IS FULL.

Obviously I'm still going to sing the entire thing though.

4. How does this show make me laugh and want to cry at the same time?

Someone is dead but there are really good jokes being made. I don't even know how to feel?

5. Also, how does this show make me hate a character one episode and then love her the next?

6. Give me more flashbacks. Drown me in backstories.

If there's one way this season is lacking, it's in the flashback department. We need more stories! Deeper looks into the inmates' lives! You could do an entire episode of just flashbacks and I would be a happy camper! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

7. Piper is the worst.

8. We get it; it's crowded. Please, can we discuss last season now?

Why is Sophia still in SHU? When is Nickols coming back? Why has no one mentioned Norma's magic powers?

9. How are these people finding love in a small, uni-sex prison?

I can't even find someone at a co-ed state college but half of the inmates are in a relationship.

10. These episodes are SO LONG.

I can't stop in the middle of an episode, but I have so much to do today, so I need to stop after this one.

11. Judy King is up to something.

The southern accent doesn't fool me.

12. Piper is LITERALLY THE WORST.

13. These guards make me miss Mendez.

14. I would never make it in prison.

I just don't think I have the grit. Also, I need to see a dog at least once a week. When was the last time do you think any of the inmates saw a dog?

15. I need to watch the next episode.

Okay, yes, the episodes are 58 minutes long. And it is 3:00 in the morning. And I've already watched four episodes. But I just have to know what happens right now.

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.
