Confessions Of A Netflix Addict

1. Calculating the amount of sleep you can get if you watch one more episode.

    Doing this to remind yourself that the next day will be the worst if you don't get sleep.

    2. Telling friends you cannot hang out because you have to watch more episodes.

    Sometimes the only friends you want to hang out with are the characters off of the series you love.

    3. Watching while working out in order to get your mind off of how much you hate working out.

    Honestly it is the best way to work out, two birds with one stone.

    4. Crying over an engagement that happened on the television series you are watching.

    We all have gotten overly attached and felt a part of the big moments that the characters go through.

    5. Incorporating all the funny one-liners into your daily life.

    Who doesn’t want to sound super funny and witty in front of their friends like the characters do.

    6. Deciding which character is more like you and your friends.

    As I begin to watch a show, I love deciding which character has a personality similar to mine, like Monica from "Friends" would be me since I love cleaning and love for my stuff to be in order.

    7. Wanting those two characters to be together more than anything.

    Of course there are always those two characters that everyone is rooting for and it always takes the entire series for them to realize it.

    8. Actually crying because someone ruined what was going to happen before you got to it.

    This is my biggest pet peeve; why ruin a show for someone? Do you really want to crush their heart and soul? Just don’t do it.

    9. Constantly explaining to your parents why you just want to stay in and watch Netflix.

    Sorry Mom and Dad, this Netflix show cannot wait and I need to find out what happened. I don't need a social life, I have my friends here.

    10. Skipping the theme song because it wastes precious time in order to watch more episodes.

    After watching the first season of a series there needs to be an option that removes the theme song, I actually did not forget what show I was watching and I would love to watch as many shows as I can today.

    Hopefully these confessions do not make me too much of an addict and someone out there could relate. And if you do relate, you are definitely not alone.

    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.
