7 Binge-Worthy Movie Series For The Summer

I have been wasting away the last week sitting on the couch staring at a screen and eating the fridge and cabinets in my house dry. Do I have regrets? Yes, but not about this. After a long school year of tireless hours of studying, I finally have time to relax.

Usually, summers start off glamorous; you maybe start off with a trip or have the idea that you are going to do something new every day (even though you have lived in the same town your entire life and there hasn't been anything new your whole life). You sleep in later than expected and the couch looks far more appealing than making yourself presentable to go out into the world; this is the time where I break out my binge movies.

There are certain series that I can watch on repeat and never get bored. I know them all by heart and I am not afraid to recite them if you test me. For the days you never want to leave your couch, I assure you these movies will fill the hours with enjoyment.

1. Die Hard franchise

It's always a good day to die hard.

2. Scary Movie franchise

Every time I watch these movies my IQ drops exponentially, but I also can't help but laugh at how ridiculous they are. I will watch these movies forever!

3. Mission Impossible franchise

Even though the first movie is so different it almost feels like it isn't part of the same franchise, they are a set. I grew up watching these movies and I honestly probably will die watching these movies.

4. Indiana Jones Franchise

Indiana Jones only got better as the movies came out, even the latest one in 2008 was amazing. The first movie came out almost forty years ago, but it is utterly timeless.

5. Harry Potter franchise

I think many people can relate to me on the topic of Harry Potter. The books were my life growing up, and the movies have their own special place in my heart. Any day of the week I could binge these movies without hesitation.

6. Bourne franchise

I just love watching these movies because they make me want to take martial arts or something. Jason Bourne is a BADA$$.

7. Marvel Cinematic Universe

With the recent release of Avengers: Infinity War I am in a kind of Marvel frenzy. There are now 19 MCU movies not including the previous Spider-man movies and Deadpool, so I think that is a full day of binge-worthy movies.

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.
