Fall break is finally here! For many of you, it is a time to wind down and catch a short break from school before finals roll around. You get to spend some quality time with family and some quality time with Netflix. Here are five TV shows and movies to avoid your family over break.

1. Bob's Burgers

This is a cult favorite and almost everyone has seen it before, but it never gets old. The Belcher family is an adorable suburban family that gets into all sorts of witty antics. This Best Animated series winner is sure to make you laugh.

My favorite episode: Season 3, Episode 12 "Broadcast Wagstaff School"

2. Stranger Things

This Netflix original is guaranteed to get you hooked from the start. Several people go missing without any trace and there is much speculation as to where they went. This thriller is only one season, but you will want to binge watch it and count down to season two.

3. BoJack Horseman

This is another Netflix original and one of my absolute favorites. This show deals with some very dark concepts and is a must watch. BoJack Horseman is a washed up sitcom celebrity who is dealing with severe depression and a drinking problem. There are only three seasons on Netflix and I am counting down to season four.

My Favorite Episode: Season 3, Episode 4 "Fish Out of Water" (watch all of the episodes in order to make the most sense)

4. Sing Street

New to Netflix this week, this movie is a fun one about a band in a high school created to impress a girl. The music is fantastic and it had me singing along the whole time

5. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

I have always been a huge documentary fan and this is by far my favorite. The story is addressed to the son of a man who was murdered by his wife. It is very well made and a heart wrenching story that has you hooked from the beginning. If you are interested in documentaries, I highly suggest this one.

No matter what, you can't go wrong with a little bit of Netflix and turkey this Thanksgiving!

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.
