An Open Letter To Netflix

An Open Letter To Netflix
Giphy

Dear Netflix,

Wow, these last few months have been great! Together we have spent many nights huddled in my dorm room. We have laughed together, cried together and explored new places together. You have met my friends, and that is a huge step in our relationship. My mom has spent a lot of time with you are really thinks "you're the one" for me.

Remember that time, we watched movies until 6 a.m. on a Saturday night? Thinking back to that night really makes me miss you, my love. You have introduced me to Shonda Rhimes, who is one of my closest friends to this day. I have learned how to "Get Away With Murder", I know the ins and outs of the White House's latest "Scandal" and I can even perform neurosurgery thanks to "Grey's Anatomy."

When I need a laugh, you update me on all the shenanigans that take place on "New Girl." You have educated me with the most sophisticated "TedTalks." I am thankful for all of the great times, and you will always have a special place in my heart.

But, we need to talk.

My grades suffer because of our intense love affair. My sleep habits—well what sleep habits? I am a poor college student and the $7 a month you cost, can better serve me at Chick-fil-A. You keep emailing me new suggestions of shows to watch, and frankly, I am an independent woman.

I don't need your opinion all of the time, I was doing just fine without you. My friends are sometimes jealous of our relationship, they need me to spend time with them and stop giving it all to you. The point is we need to limit our time together. Please don't think there is another entertainment system. I will not leave you for Hulu. I love you. I just need to focus on me for a while. I know this is hard and you may not understand, but you have many others to love and adore you in the meantime. Farewell, my dear.

Sincerely,

A Heartbroken, GPA suffering, Financially Deprived College Student

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.

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.
