A Binge-Watcher's Guide

We all know that nothing is worse than finishing a great show and thinking well, nothing will be able to compare to that.  A good show is a good friend: dependable, there to entertain and comfort you always. But don’t worry, because a new year means a new list of shows to binge watch and to help you get through those dark and lonely nights. Here’s a list of some must-see shows for your binge-watching addiction.

1. Game of Thrones

Season 5 is finally premiering this spring, so now is the time to catch up. With power and dominance being the central themes, this medieval show is unlike any other. It's always interesting as it interweaves several plot lines set on fictional continents, allowing you to vicariously live out your dreams of being king. 

2. House of Cards

This is sure to be your favorite political thriller. Season 3 premieres this February and Frank Underwood, being the ultimate anti-hero, always brings something shocking to the screen.

3. True Detective

Season 1 will be hard to beat, but with its ensemble cast in Season 2, including Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn, this drama will definitely be worth watching.

4. Girls

Season 4 premieres this week, continuing a hilarious and relatable story about a few 20-somethings struggling to find what life has in store for them in New York City.

5. Friends

I know you've seen Friends, but now all 10 seasons are finally on Netflix. 'Nuff said.

6. American Horror Story

Do not watch this alone.

Disclaimer: AHS will give you nightmares.

7. Downton Abbey

I was skeptical at first, but this British drama series leaves me feeling classier than ever. It follows the lives of the Crawley family and their servants in the family's massive estate.

All-in-all, I hope this will help to feed your binge-watching addiction.

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.
