In these times of the ever-looming threat of COVID-19, it can sometimes be difficult to find things to do. Thankfully, reality television shows are my ultimate cure for boredom.

What better way to spend increasing hours indoors than curled up with a bowl of popcorn watching mind-numbing reality television shows?

I have compiled a list of the ultimate television shows to cure all your social distancing and boredom woes. You can watch all of these with your family, a friend, a significant other (still while practicing social distancing of course), or just even yourself. The best news is that all of these are on-demand, through streaming services or currently on cable, and there is truly something for someone on this list no matter their interests.

Happy binge-watching!

1. Chrisley Knows Best

"Chrisley Knows Best" has hilarious family dynamics, sass and southern charm. Stream it all on the Bravo TV app and Hulu.

2. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Everyone loves the fabulous lifestyle that people in Beverly Hills live, and we get to live vicariously through them with the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" franchise. The show includes celebrities like Erika Jayne, Denise Richards and Lisa Rinna. What's not to love? Catch it on the Bravo TV app and Hulu.

3. Love is Blind

Honestly, it's a super interesting social and dating experiment to test if love truly is blind. After watching it, I am still not convinced love is blind. I'm super excited for the new season since it was just renewed, and the first season is all available to be streamed on Netflix.

4. Too Hot to Handle

When I binged this, I spent the entire time laughing. Honestly, it's pretty cringey, but I couldn't stop watching. It is currently available to stream on Netflilx.

5. The Circle

This show took the internet by storm and went viral. I'm still a Joey and Randi stan. This can be streamed on Netflix.

6. Vanderpump Rules

Young and beautiful servers and bartenders make for great one-liners and dramatic arguments. Episodes are currently on Hulu and the Bravo TV app.

7. Shahs of Sunset

Persian money and wealth and tons of drama are all in "Shahs of Sunset" and can be streamed on the Bravo TV app.

8. Floribama Shore

Honestly, a southern and more diverse "Jersey Shore" is the guilty pleasure everyone needs in their life.

9. Jersey Shore Family Vacation

I've absolutely loved the "Jersey Shore" reboot, and they still are having crazy moments years later. It can be streamed on the MTV app.

10. Top Chef

Everyone can love a good cooking show, and it's streaming on the Bravo TV app.

11. Rupaul's Drag Race

"Rupaul's Drag Race" is truly a treat, especially with gems like snatch game, which is currently streaming on Hulu.

12. Shark Tank

"Shark Tank" is a must when watching cable TV and is on ABC.

13. 90 Day Fiancé

Big Ed has recently gone viral on the internet and people can't get enough of the craziness. Some episodes are currently streaming on Hulu and on the TLC app.

14. The Voice

The new season has my favorite celebrity, Nick Jonas, as a judge, and it is all streaming on Hulu.

15. Storage Wars

They've added some "Storage Wars" episodes to Netflix, and they often stream it on the free TV app, PlutoTV.

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.
