If you're anything like me, the indecisiveness is real when it comes to picking out what to watch on Netflix. Movie or TV show? Drama or Rom Com? Here's a variety of must watch shows and movies that'll hopefully shorten your browsing time on Netflix.

1. The Fundamentals Of Caring

If you're looking for a heartwarming and humorous movie, The Fundamentals Of Caring hits every mark. Paul Rudd brings exceptional charm onto the screen, as a former writer turned caregiver to Trevor, a teen suffering from muscular dystrophy. A film rooted in lessons about loss and love, the charismatic characters and endearing storylines make it a film worth watching.

2. Chef's Table

Now with two seasons on Netflix, this docu-series focuses on culinary talents all the way from Los Angeles to the Patagonian islands. Chef's Table takes a step back from adrenaline filled cooking competitions by dedicating each episode to a different chef, showcasing his or her rich diversity and personal philosophies about the art of cuisine.

3. Sky High

Because who wouldn't want to relive their Disney childhood days?

4. David Blaine: Real or Magic?

Known as an American magician and endurance artist, David Blaine's incredible tricks and stunts always leaves you wondering, did that really just happen? In this TV special, David brings his talent to the doorsteps of various celebrities, even getting a "Get the f*ck out of my house!" reaction from Harrison Ford. With truly gasp-worthy moments, it's magic like no other.

5. Hush

Even though Halloween has passed, you never need a reason to watch a scary movie. A spin on the classic home invasion story, the suspense is framed with a back and forth battle when Maddie, a deaf-mute writer isolated in the woods, is met with a psychopath masked killer.

6. Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories

This Netflix original contains 30 minute short stories that are told in Japanese with English subtitles, all of which center around a chef, referred to as Master, and his diner that's open from midnight to 7 in the morning. Infused with a collection of eccentric characters, the show provides an interesting take on the parallels between food and relationships. Each story, while simplistic, shows us that more happens in the night than you would expect, while making poignant impressions and leaving you just a little bit hungry.

7. Nightcrawler

A beautifully devilish part played by Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler displays the brutality of crime journalism in the streets of Los Angeles. In this thriller, Gyllenhaal's character, Lou, is a freelance videographer with a thirst for scandals in the dead of night.

8. Gilmore Girls

Now I had to add this one at the end of the list, because we've waited years for this moment: the highly anticipated Gilmore Girls revival. Hurry, there's only a couple days to catch up before we finally return to Stars Hallow this Friday.

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.

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.

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.
