I have always been a big viewer of so many television shows. I have watched dramas like ABC/CMT's "Nashville". I have watched comedies like NBC's "Parks and Recreation". I watch reality tv shows like E!'s "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". I have watched crime thrillers like NBC's "The Blacklist".

One of my favorite free time activities is watching TV or streaming Netflix or Hulu.

I know in this day in age, a lot of people prefer to watch their favorite television shows on streaming services or on demand because people don't want to watch commercials. They are boring and repetitive.

Binge watching has become a normal thing in our lives over the past six years or so because of on demand and streaming services

On my social media feeds, I always see my friends asking for recommendations for old or new television shows to binge watch on Netflix and Hulu.

They are so many shows out there to watch. I didn't even know how to begin creating a list of shows you can binge watch next but I tried to the best I could with shows I loved to binge watch by myself or with my friends.

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.

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.
