We're all familiar with the feeling of not knowing what to watch. We grab a blanket and a snack and click on our Netflix tab only to be faced with a recognizable uncertainty. You want to watch something because you're bored, but you don't want to commit to something if you aren't sure you will like it.

This is especially aggravating given the circumstances of the current pandemic. We're all (hopefully) quarantined in our homes, running out of activities to do, and bored out of our minds.

I'm sure many of you have scrolled through the movie section of Netflix, trying to find something of interest, but you just end up rewatching that TV show series you've binge watched 6 times already.

We can all admit that Netflix is going down-hill but most of us are still stuck with it anyway. Too many gems have been taken off the site, but there are still ones that remain. Without further ado, here are 30 comedies, dramas, rom-coms (mainly), and childhood throwbacks that will keep you entertained for many, many more hours of quarantine:

    1. The Shawshank Redemption
    2. Sleepover
    3. He's Just Not That Into You
    4. Silver Linings Playbook
    5. A Cinderella Story
    6. Falling Inn Love
    7. The Kissing Booth
    8. The Ugly Truth
    9. Dear John
    10. 1 Mile To You
    11. Room
    12. Step Brothers
    13. How The Grinch Stole Christmas
    14. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
    15. Murder Mystery
    16. Princess And The Frog
    17. Sharkboy and Lavagirl
    18. Bird Box
    19. When We First Met
    20. 21&Over
    21. National Treasure
    22. Bird Box
    23. The Other Guys
    24. Miracle

    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.

    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.
