Netflix's Biggest And Best Kept Secret
minecraftawesome.wikia.com

This might just be the most life-changing article you have ever read, so be ready for your mind to be blown. For 90 percent of college students, Netflix is a way of life. It's what we rush through our homework for, it's our date on a Saturday night, it's our best friend when we are sick and lying in bed. My four-year relationship with Netflix has always been filled with good times and laughs, but recently I’ve started to lose interest and get bored. It seems as though I have seen every movie, re-watched every TV series twice and can recite every documentary word-for-word. I even started cheating on my relationship with Netflix when I got an account on Hulu. Feeling terrible about my betrayal, I did research to try and find a way to rekindle the flame with bae (Netflix).

 

Last year, when I went on a trip to Mexico I logged onto my Netflix account and something magical happened! I was greeted by my home screen completely filled with new movies and TV shows that I had never seen before. This foreign Netflix was something only dreams are made of.

 

It wasn’t until recently that I figured out how to bring foreign Netflix to me in the U.S., AKA Netflix’s best kept secret. By changing your browser, you are able to log onto Netflix from hundreds of different countries. This means new movies and TV shows not currently available to Netflix users in the United States. Here are the steps.

1. Download Google Chrome.

2. Google “Hola” and download the Chrome Hola extension.

3. On the right-hand side, you will see a fire symbol with a smiley face.

4. Click on the happy fire symbol and you will be able to change the country you are browsing from.

 

By following these directions, you are able to browse online and log into Netflix from every country imaginable. Now, your options on Netflix are limitless!

 

Here is a personal cheat sheet to some of the many movies offered in these different countries. Here are my top five ranked countries and some popular movies they offer.

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.
