5 New Shows To Binge-Watch Over The Break

Christmas break is officially upon us and if you’re one of those lucky individuals that are not taking any winter classes or working over the break, you might be wondering how it is you’re going to spend all of your time off. Fret no more! Here are five new shows to binge-watch over the break, and remember children: Binge responsibly!

1. Atlanta

Atlanta follows the exploits of the good-meaning but a bit awkward Earnest Marks, played by Donald Glover, as he navigates the complex but exciting Atlanta rap scene. The series premeired on Septmeber 6th, 2016 and FX has already renewed it for a second season.

2. Stranger Things

The science fiction-horror series is set in the fictional town of Hawkings, Indiana. The story begins with the disaperance of a 12 year old boy. The series received a Golden Globe nomination for best drama series and it’s first season is Netflix’s 3rd most watched season across the platform.

3. Insecure

Issa Rae went from the internet’s Awkward Black Girl to a Golden Globe nominee. Her HBO show, which is paritally based off of her 2011 web series Awkward Black Girl, comically explores the racial and social struggles of an African American woman. The first season currently holds an impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

4. Westworld

Westworld is HBO’s next Game of Thrones. The high-concept drama debuted this past October and is based off of the 1973 film of the same name. The first season takes place in a futuristic amusement park, where eerily human-like androids treat guests to shoot-offs, sex, and adventures within the Western-themed park. Things go awry when the androids begin deviating from their programming. Each episode of the first season reportedly cost a whopping 10 million dollars to make.

5. The Crown

Netflix’s The Crown is a biopic about the early reign of a young and wide-eyed Queen Elizabeth II. The first season begins with the 25-year-old’s ascension to the throne and her coming to terms with leading the world most leading monarchy. The show has been praised for strong performances and writing.

Find a good pair of headphones, gather some snacks, and enjoy your binge watching winter break!

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.
