7 Things To Watch If You're A True Mystery Solving, Crime Addict

images.pexels.com

For some reason or another, humans are obsessed with true crime and the macabre. Psychopaths intrigue us, and so we find ourselves researching serial killers, cults, and Googling crime scene photos. For some of us, no matter how many nights we freak ourselves out and can't sleep at night, we keep coming back for more.

True Crime is different than the Supernatural. Supernatural phenomena are happenings that people either believe, or they don't. If you don't believe in ghosts, then the story of the Winchester House may not scare you. But True Crime, that is very real. These were real people that murdered and did horrific things to other human beings. We cannot deny that these events happened.

The fact that humans were capable of doing these horrific things is scary enough, but then again, humans are interested in the minds of other humans.

1. BuzzFeed Unsolved: True Crime

If you're looking for a quick debriefing of the word's unsolved crimes, look no further than YouTube. Shane and Ryan present the crime, and give theories as to who might have done it or what happened.

2. Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

Netflix

This docuseries was so very interesting, and very creepy. Something about Bundy's eyes, they're so dead and souless, that keeps you up at night. Do not watch alone.

3. I Am The Night

TNT

m.media-amazon.com

If you're fascinated with the Black Dahlia Murder, this limited series will definitely hold your interest. Plus, Chris Pine is in it.

4. Evil Genius

Netflix

Another show on Netflix that had recorded audio and visuals with the evil mastermind herself. A series that goes very in-depth of the collar-bomb burglary.

5. Mindhunter

Netflix

While this is not a documentary, it is a TV series following the man who started the FBI program for criminal profiling.

6. Encounters With Evil

Netflix

This is another show that runs through crimes according to common traits between them. They analyze cults, cannibals, serial killers, and abductions. Definitely the one-stop-shop for the True Crime lover.

7. Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile

COTA Films

www.gannett-cdn.com

Just from the first trailer of this movie starring Zac Efron as Ted Bundy, the movie has already gotten some controversy. Not many people are too happy with the fact that Bundy seems to be portrayed as a charismatic, handsome charmer, but the thing is, is that that's exactly how he portrayed himself, even to his very last day. Bundy was an absolute psycho and master manipulator, and got many people to believe he was innocent. While I don't condone the romanticization of a sociopath like himself, I can see the angle the movie is trying to take.

These are just a few movies or shows available on True Crime. With a simple Google search, you, as a viewer, have your choice on dozens of films and documentaries and interviews of real-life accounts and testimonies from victims about the horrific crimes described in these. You can learn so much from how society behaves from watching these.

Remember, if you are scared easily, be sure to watch with a friend.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
