My 5 Go-To Netflix Shows For This Holiday Season

With Christmas break upon us, it's suddenly the season for constant guilt-free Netflix binge sessions. To ring in the new season, here are my go to shows on Netflix.

5. The Crown

If you're a fan of royal scandals or you feel like you may have an old soul, I'd definitely recommend The Crown. After all, don't we all kind of dream about being a princess or queen or even to just marry into the Royal Family? (@Meghan Markle, you got lucky girl. I called dibs on Prince Harry anyways!!) This show gives a look at the life of Queen Elizabeth and just how much she's gone through along her very long reign. It's a great watch, and even better the new season came out this past week!



4. Stranger Things

Stranger Things is definitely one of those shows that you just gotta watch to realize you'll love it. It's probably one of the weirdest, nerdiest, coolest shows on Netflix, plus it's fairly new. With such an awesome cast (yes, that's Winona Ryder!), it's no wonder that everyone is buzzing about Stranger Things.

3. Grey's Anatomy

There are so many good and bad things about Grey's Anatomy. The love, the power, and the surgery. Not to mention the fact that Meredith Grey is the queen of monologues! Grey's Anatomy just screams, "Pick me. Choose me. Love me." Caution: Harnesses on the emotional roller coaster often don't work.

2. Gilmore Girls


Although this is my second choice, it takes #1 in my heart. Nothing will ever be able to replace the love and laughter of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. Not only is the story line behind this show fantastic, but it's relatable in almost every aspect. Especially if you're a coffee lover(; If you're looking for a feel good time and minimal frustration, this is the show for you.

1. The Secret Life of the American Teenager

I don't know what it is, but TV shows that include both drama and romance are my absolute guilty pleasure. This one can definitely be considering an oldie considered it was back when ABC Family was still ABC Family (no one likes Freeform it's okay). The Secret Life of the American Teenager is about a teenager who gets knocked up at band camp one year after having sex for the first time. Her life is nothing but dull, and sometimes it gives you the feels. Shailene Woodley stars as Amy Jergens in this relatable teen drama.

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.
