How To Properly Netflix Binge
Netflix

Watching hours upon hours of Netflix may seem like an easy task that anyone can do whenever they want. However, this is not the case. Partaking in a proper Netflix binge takes drive and commitment. In order for a successful Netflix binge to take place, there are certain steps that you need to follow.

1. Choose a worthy series to dedicate your time to.

Going on a proper Netflix binge first requires you to choose a worthy show to dedicate your time to. If you spend your time watching crappy TV what is the point? The show needs to be so exciting that you cannot tear yourself away for fear that your whole world will fall apart if you don't watch the next episode this very minute.

2. Calculate the exact number of hours completing the series will take.

This is a very important step. In calculating the total time you need to include the time it will take in between episodes as well as schedule any bathroom breaks you think you might need. So if you want to binge watch all the Harry Potter movies (as everyone should) you need to know that the movies themselves combine for a total of 19 hours and 38 minutes so a full day of dedication is required for that binge.


3. Stock up with the proper snacks and beverages.

Having the proper snacks and beverages on hand will cut down on the waiting time between episodes since you won't need to waste time digging around in the fridge for edible food. It also gives you an excuse to stock up on junk food and give up on that bikini body you've been working on for months. If you want your Netflix binge to be as successful as possible you can't have anything holding you back.

4. Put on your comfiest clothes.

Spending hours laying in bed or sitting on a couch cannot be done in clothes that are not your comfiest. A Netflix binge does not require you to look cute in any way, in fact that worse you look the more successful you will be because your desire to leave the house will be reduced to almost nothing.

5. Spend the next several hours (days) holed up in the dark and hiding away from society.

This is the last step. There can be no hesitation here. When Netflix tries to be coy and asks, "are you still watching?" you need to hit continue with the utmost confidence that there is nothing else in your life that you want or should be doing. You are ready. You can do this. Go on and conquer the binge, you are ready!


Following these steps will prepare you to go on the greatest Netflix binge of your life. There are so many worthy shows that you can dedicate your time to. There is nothing stopping you. The world is yours!

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.
