'Girlboss': The Show You Need To Binge Watch Right Now

Netflix’s new series ‘Girlboss’ is a must watch this summer. 5 stars. 10/10.

I started this show because Netflix described it as a girl who started her fashion empire with a single vintage jacket. Girlboss, however, is more than just a cookie cutter transformation story. Based off of the life of Sophia Amoruso, founder and former CEO of the online fashion hub that is ~NastyGal~, this Netflix original loosely retells how Amoruso turned her dreams into reality. It’s so good that you can easily binge watch season one in a day or two (not like that’s what I did or anything…)

Besides the fact that the concept behind NastyGal is pure genius, (“flipping” vintage clothing like people “flip” houses), this show is binge worthy for the characters developed through season one. Britt Robertson absolutely kills her role of NastyGal mastermind, Sophia Amoruso. Robertson delivers a flawlessly cool personality that combines Amoruso's pissed off attitude and heart of gold. Although I found her temper tantrums kinda annoying, you can’t help but want to be friends with someone like her who goes after her dreams so aggressively.

As for the other characters, Roberston’s love interest, played by actor Johnny Simmons, is the perfect example of the guy that you know you shouldn’t like but can’t help it. Throughout the season he exudes charm that will leave you rooting for things to work out with him and Robertson. Another notable character is Robertson’s BFF Annie, played by Ellie Reed. Her bubbly and optimistic personality balances out Robertson’s tough, detached persona perfectly. Robertson and Reed seriously give Blair and Serena a run for their money for #bestfriendgoals

This show will make you laugh, cry, and want to update your wardrobe ASAP. The writing in the show is as sharp as a tack. But what I love most about this show is how everyone can relate to Amoruso’s story. Everyone goes through ups and downs in life. Everyone has dreams that they’re thinking about. But only a few people actually pursue their dreams with the amount of unwavering confidence like that of Amoruso.

Girlboss is fresh, hip, inspiring, and perfect for college girls like me who sometimes need a reminder that your dreams are attainable and valid. So, if you’re bored this summer needing some inspo, watch Girlboss. You won’t regret it.

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.
