In the past, I have seen many people refuse to watch a show simply because it was in a different language. I find this mindset harmful and limiting as people refuse to leave their comfort zone to explore new cultures. Netflix has changed the media sphere by producing numerous foreign shows which offer a fun and interesting way to delve into a new culture. As someone who can binge watch a show in a day, I thought I'd offer some recommendations of foreign shows which I found particularly enjoyable.

Dark

Facebook

This German show is sure to capture your mind within the first episode. The hit Netflix show deals with time and reality in a way I've never seen done before. The only way I can describe it is as a foreign, darker version of Stranger Things. Dark is sure to mess with your perspective and I can honestly say it's one of my favorite shows.

Girl From Nowhere

Facebook

Originating in Thailand, Girl From Nowhere is the type of show that will make you question your humanity. The show broadcasts the darkest levels of the human psyche in a way that grabs your attention right off the bat. I finished the first season in a day and I'm really hoping Netflix will give in and make another season. While the show is definitely dark and requires caution when watching, it's very intriguing.

Elite

Facebook

Elite is a Spanish show that is sure to keep viewers captivated as it forces those who watch to question each character on the show as the murder mystery unfolds. I would describe this show as a Spanish version of Gossip Girl sans Kristen Bell and with a lot more intrigue. The show has LGBT+ representation and discusses a lot of important current issues making it a great watch.

Baby

Facebook

A short and easy watch, Baby is an Italian show based off a true story. The show focuses on two girls who find themselves unwittingly involved in a prostitution ring. While most of the plot is not focused on the actual ring, Baby has an undeniable draw to watchers and was definitely fun to watch.

Reply 1997

Facebook

If there was ever a show to watch to start your journey into the world of Korean dramas, Reply 1997 would most definitely be it. Light hearted and weirdly dramatic at times, Reply 1997 is such a lovable show. I often go back to rewatch episodes as it's simply so addicting. The show is a coming of age story surrounding a group of friends in Korea and overall I just really love this show.

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.
