5 Exciting Binge-Worthy Shows To Watch On Netflix

If you're a college student, a high school student, or really just love TV, chances are you have a Netflix account. Whether it's yours or your family's, or your neighbor's, or your roommate's, it's really a valuable part of your downtime. And Netflix really does have everything, from indie films to Disney movies to sitcoms. But once you've gone through your typical binge of Grey's Anatomy or The Office, you might be looking for something new and refreshing. So grab your laptop and the snack of your choice and kick back the seat.

1. 'The OA'

Netflix Original The OA is a science fiction fantasy hybrid about a blind girl named Prairie who, after being missing for 7 years, suddenly returns to her home with restored sight. It's a thrilling plot line filled with alternate dimensions, intense originality, and stunning visuals. You'll be hooked from the first episode in.

2. 'Twin Peaks'

David Lynch's cult classic is equal parts crime drama, science fiction, and thriller, and is considered one of the most popular shows of all time. Set in the fictional Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks, an FBI agent investigates the murder of well known high school student Laura Palmer. With intriguing cinematography, plenty of satire, and quirky characters, Twin Peaks is a lot of fun that is also not quite what it seems.

3. 'House'


One of the most enthralling medical dramas, House is quite an intelligent show. Focusing on Dr. Gregory House and his team of advanced medical professionals, they solve cases with a mix of formal procedures like tests and diagnoses, as well as more non-traditional methods. Full of witty dialogue and exciting plot lines, House is where medical drama meets crime drama meets mystery.

4. Marvel's 'Jessica Jones'

Jessica Jones is a Netflix Original, based off of the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Krysten Ritter portrays the title character, who is a private investigator with what one would call "superhuman" abilities. Rich with dark themes and tense situations, Jessica Jones isn't quite your average Marvel flick. If you enjoy mystery and strong female characters, this is the show for you.

5. 'The X-Files'


One of the most well-known science fiction dramas is The X-Files, a show about two FBI agents working on cases that have to do with the supernatural and seemingly impossible. Skeptical as they might be, it turns out aliens and conspiracies and alternate dimensions may be all too real.

6. 'Stranger Things'

If you haven't heard of Stranger Things, chances are you've been living under a rock. You've probably heard your friends say things like, "watch Stranger Things!!" And they're right. You should watch it. Set in the 1980s in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, a young boy named Will Byers disappears. No one knows what happened to him, except perhaps for an enigmatic girl with telekinetic abilities. What surfaces from there is something more sinister, and well, stranger.

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.
