28 Signs Of A Netflix Addiction

You are finally done with all your exams, final projects and crazy classes. Now you have all the time in the world to do what you love, right? Well if you are like me, you are definitely spending your Winter Break doing one of your favorite things: binge-watching TV on Netflix.

Most of the time, this binge watching is completely harmless, just a reason to stay up to date with your favorite TV shows when you were too busy studying. But especially during your winter break it, your Netflix usage can surely transform into that nasty A - word.

Here are some signs that your Winter Break Netflix watching is slowly transforming into a Netflix Addiction:

1. Your lack of sun exposure from spending 12 hours a day watching every season of The Walking Dead.

2. Constant cancellation of relatively normal plans with your old best friends because you have "already made plans" with your laptop.

3. Your family's concern for never shifting spots on the couch or in your room for hours at a time.

4. Increased laziness on performing daily activities such as showering, brushing teeth, changing clothes, eating and living normally.

5. An increase in bad eating habits such as bags of potato chips, popcorn, Pop-tarts, mac and cheese, cereal and guacamole despite the fact that there is normal food in your house.

6. You have a constant wardrobe of pajamas and sweatpants day in and day out.

7. Becoming emotionally detached from every life event other than your Netflix shows.

8. Becoming extremely emotionally invested to all aspects of your Netflix shows.

9. Several tissue boxes have to surround you as you watch any season finale of your favorite TV shows, but thank the Lord you can just jump on over to the next season.

10. Looks of loss and confusion are normal when you have finished an entire series of a Netflix show.

11. You cannot contain how mind blown you are from each series' final episode.

12. You only invite friends over if it means watching another episode of "Revenge" or "Scandal".

13. You get way too excited about a blizzard or snow warning because it gives you a better excuse to not leave your house.

14. Walking to the bathroom/ kitchen is the maximum exercise you will execute per day.

15. You start relating all parts of your life to your Netflix TV shows.









16. Every relationship problem you have can be answered by asking yourself "what would Blair and Chuck do" in this situation.

17. You start to believe that you are Blair/Chuck.

18. Your dreams are starting to become similar to your Netflix shows.

19. You have become nocturnal from the hours of watching Netflix at night.

20. The number of Netflix shows you watch is starting to exhaust you.

21. You have a fear of never finishing any of them now.

22. But you continue to watch to your heart's content.

23. You question whether you should start re-watching "Breaking Bad".

24. You re-watch "Breaking Bad".

25. You remember that there are also movies on Netflix.

26. You watch a few but then return to watching more TV shows.

27. At least you gave it a shot, but nothing is better than watching TV shows on Netflix.

28. And now you await the next season of "Orange is the New Black".

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.
