1. Black Mirror

If you haven't started this series yet you are truly missing out on great cinematography and intensely unique story lines that will thrill and shock you.I recommend beginning with episode two, episode one of the first season is a little difficult to stomach. The series emphasizes the issues that can arise in a high tech dystopia.

2. Chewing Gum

If you were raised Christian and remember your parent's awkward lectures on "urges" then you'll relate to Tracey. She's an average girl with an intensely Christian mother. All Tracey wants is a nice boyfriend who'll make her feel sexy and wanted (God forbid.) Who will win: The power of Jesus Christ or Tracey's Hormones? Watch the first season on Netflix now!

3. iZombie

Ok, so the premise for this show is, well, it's really stupid, but hear me out. Super smart, super pretty, super normal girl on her way to finishing her residency goes to a party and becomes a zombie. But she's not your typical rampage and gore Zombie, she's sophisticated. Plus, she uses her ability to see the memories of the deceased to find their murders bringing them to justice. I know, very dumb, but the writers do a great job of pacing the show murder-mystery style and they keep the science believable. So, if you're obsessed with Zombies or can't resist a murder-mystery then check this out.

4. Spartacus

Yes, I am aware that this show is pretty old. But what better way to recover your brain from finals than with completely meaningless gore, lots of steamy scenes, and ridiculously gorgeous people all crammed into a show about the most epic slave rebellion of all time! You know you watch on it on Netflix!

5. Mad Men

If you have not seen this show you are missing out a key insight into current and past political American culture. Also the drama on this show will have you in shock. There is never a dull moment in this imaginary rendition of the office that shaped advertising forever.

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.
