5 Must-See Netflix Shows

They're too good to stop watching.

5 Must-See Netflix Shows

The innovation of Netflix has revolutionized the dating game. Now, instead of hitting Family Video for that scratched disk, which is a total mood killer, you can turn on the television and pull up a smorgasbord of shows and movies. On top of that, with finals coming up, Netflix procrastination is a must. There is no wrong decision when opening Netflix because if you hate something, you can just change to a different show. That being said, here are my favorite shows to watch on Netflix.

5. "Bates Motel"

Norman Bates builds up to his psychotic breaking point in this prequel to the 1960 slasher, Psycho. Complete with a crazy mom and secret workings in his small town, the show continues to build with intensity and excitement.

4. "Orange Is the New Black"

Lesbians in prison battle for control of their territory while Piper Chapman tries to adjust to her new life on the inside. Fair warning: Lots of boob in this show, but that's not why I like it. The show is funny, dramatic and satirical. I have laughed and been sad in the same episode multiple times because men don't cry.

3. "The Office"

Michael Scott runs a tight ship in this hilariously popular American version of a British show. Just another example of Americans doing British things better.

2. "That 70's Show"

Teenagers from the 70s. I cannot simplify it any more. The show follows the life of Eric Foreman and his friends on their amusing escapades from stealing kegs to running off to California. My personal favorite character is the idiotic, but lovable Michael Kelso played by Ashton Kutcher, who often finds himself falling off the water tower and wearing the stupid helmet. How I would rate this show: funny as hell.

1. "Breaking Bad"

Easily the best show on Netflix, possibly the greatest series of all time. A teacher with a terminal illness building a meth empire sounds awesome. And it is.

Keep in mind that I haven't seen half of the shows on Netflix because I spend so much time on these shows. I do look forward to watching "Arrow," "Daredevil" and "Dexter." A new list may be required in a few months.

Enjoy!

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.
