Hola: The Holy Grail Of Netflix

The best thing to happen to Netflix since... well, Netflix!

Hola: The Holy Grail Of Netflix
Lifehacker

Most, if not all, of you use Netflix on a daily basis. Binge-watching entire seasons of a television show in a single day has become a cultural norm. In fact, most of you are probably watching the newest season of your latest show while reading this article. Many people, myself included, consider Netflix the Holy Grail of the internet. However, few people have yet to discover the Holy Grail of Netflix.

One of the greatest hidden gems of all time is a service called Hola. Hola is a free Google Chrome extension that allows you to access any website (including Netflix) from another country. Basically, it tricks your computer into believing you are in the country of your choosing. And as the content available in each country's Netflix varies, this makes it easy to access movies and shows that may not be available on Netflix in the US, but are available on Netflix in other countries such as the UK, Mexico, and France. For example, if you were left hanging in the middle of a season of Desperate Housewives, simply open Google Chrome, click on Argentina from Hola's drop down list of countries, and go search for it on Netflix. You don't feel like renting Gone Girl from the iTunes store for a few dollars? Don't worry. You can just can go back to Hola and stream the movie from Canadian Netflix for free.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, there's even a way to search the Netflix regions of the world to find your desired flick/show. The website flixsearch.io allows you to search for movies and shows, and tells you exactly which countries' Netflix you can find it on.

So what are you still doing here? Go lock yourself in your room for a few days and start watching!

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.
