16 Stages of Starting  a New Show
Gladson Xavier

With so many TV shows available on the internet, through Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime, it's sometimes hard to decide which shows to start. Of course, whenever you pose this problem to a friend or coworker, they are more than willing to give a list of shows that they have watched already. This list varies from person to person and the types of show suggestions range from Friends and the Simpsons to Doctor Who and Game of Thrones.

1. Excitement

Finally someone mentioned a great show that you haven't watched yet, and they're willing to watch it with you.

2. Expectation

You've heard of this show before and now you finally get to see what the hype was all about.

3. Starting the show

You don't realize what you're getting into until the end of that first episode.

4. Recognizing famous moments

You've seen that GIF somewhere before.

5. Spoilers

If it's a popular show, you've seen way more spoilers than you think

6. Knowledgeable friends

They know so much and just laugh at you when you get attached to characters that die.

7. Foreshadowing

When a friend uses past tense on a character, you know something will happen to them.

8. Predictions

When you think you know what may happen to a character or the way the story might go.

9. Season finale

You reach the end of a season, the first huge cliff hanger. Hopefully, you don't have to wait long to see the next season.

10. Binge watching

10 episodes in one day, a season in a weekend, no sweat.

11. True predictions

When you get far enough into a show, you start to learn the patterns of the writers, and sometimes you can guess correctly what they will do next.

12. Unforeseen deaths

Just when you think you know what will happen, a plot twist turns everything around.

13. Reaching the end

When there's no more to watch, all that's left is to wait and make theories.

14. Waiting for the next episode

The anticipation, the lack of patience.

15. Admitting you're obsessed

You have all of the merchandise. All of it.

16. Showing your friends

Now that you've fallen in love with this show, it's time to share it with others.

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.

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.
