An Open Letter To Netflix…

Netflix was the greatest thing to ever happen to us.

Dear Netflix,

Thank you for always being there for me. You have seen me through the lonely nights and afternoon class breaks. You have been with me through hours in the library when I should have been studying, but spending time with you was much more important. Thanks for always making me laugh, and being there for me when I needed to feel all the feels and just cry a little. You are always there for me, just a mouse click away, and it’s nice to know I can always count on your company. You know me so well, suggesting all these great things to watch. You always know what to say. You never make demands, and you are a relatively cheap date ($7.99 per month).

You are the perfect company for nights in, and always down to lay in bed all day long. You never judge me for shoving my face with crappy foods, and I never feel pressured to entertain you or make conversation when I am not feeling up to it… you are a friend of very few words. You are introverts' greatest companion, and an extrovert’s perfect excuse to get people together. You are available for every holiday, and you get along with my friends and family really well. You are a true people-pleaser and you really know how to bring communities together. You are so giving and you never expect anything in return.

You have taught me so many important life skills, like how to get away with murder, cook crystal meth, and even how to survive life in a women’s prison. I’m never bored when I’m with you. Whenever we hang out, I always lose track of time and before I know it, hours have gone by. The only issue I have with you is that I have to share your attention with four other people, when I just want you all to myself! Thank you for being easy to reach, and being available to get me through any situation regardless of the time or place.

You are so much better than having an actual boyfriend, because you never try to fight with me (except when the wifi is slow), demand my attention, or expect anything other than to lie in bed and really embody what it means to be a couch potato in all aspects. Without your company, I would actually have to get homework done, study for my tests, and function as a real person for far longer each day than I currently do, and that sounds horrible, so thanks for saving me.

Thanks for all you do, and I really don’t know what I would without ya. Never change.

XOXO

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.
