We don't always need to watch something thought provoking.

5 Shows You Can Watch And Turn Off Your Brain

During quarantine time, a lot of us film majors all had one few thoughts in mind. How we are all going to survive without movie theatres being open. It also presented an opportunity for us. To catch up on some movies we've always wanted to watch but haven't had the time to. However, this Coronavirus has myself and several others completely stressed out and maybe we don't need a movie to remind us of our troubles. These are a few shows you can watch and you don't have to think about that will get your mind off of things for a while.


1. i Carly

Most everyone reading a Missouri State Odyssey article remembers iCarly. It's a staple in a lot of our childhoods. Last year I rediscovered the show one day because I needed something on the TV while I studied that didn't demand a lot of attention. The show held up a lot more then I was anticipating and it got quite a few laughs from me. It's mindless stupid humor at its best and a nostalgic look at the 2000's, a much simpler time for most of us.


2. Impractical Jokers

I did a whole episode on Impractical Jokers so I'll keep this short. This show is almost always playing on Tru TV and its just four buddies daring each other to do stupid things. It's just such a fun time to see the ridiculous antics of these jokers.


3. LEGO Master Builders

This is a gameshow currently on Fox right after The Masked Singer (which I hate with a burning passion). I don't care about American Idol or The Bachelor or anything like that- but man I'm invested in LEGO Master Builders. I get that this show gets really hokey sometimes but the builds are amazing and the teams are so likable.


4. Encore

This show is on Disney Plus right now and it's a reality show about people coming back to preform an Encore of a show they did in High School. I was a theatre kid in High School so this show always makes me happy and remember really good memories. This show is as sappy and sentimental as you can get and you know what, I need a little bit (or a lot of bit) of sentimentality right now.


5. The Goldbergs

This show is a sitcom that has been playing on ABC for years now and it's just delightful. Each episode hits the exact same beats but you know what, I kinda love it. You always know what you are gonna get with this show. You'll get a few laughs and a few moments that will warm your heart. You will also get some great 80's movie references and I will just be real here, I relate too much to Adam Goldberg and his aspirations to be a filmmaker.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
