An Ode To Netflix

Thanks for keeping numerous shows and movies at my fingertips,

Dear Netflix,

You have brought much happiness to many people when you came into existence. Not only can we broadcast shows through TV, tablets and phones, (both Android and iPhones), we can broadcast a wide variety of shows and movies in a matter of seconds. If you want to watch the magic school bus and relive your childhood, you have it. Missed last season of "Pretty Little Liars"? You have us covered.

You break the boundaries with the numbers of categories that I can choose from murder mysteries, to click flick shows like "Baby Daddy", "Young and Hungry", and "Pretty Little Liars". If I need to catch up, it keeps the complete series at my fingertips.

With Netflix and its wifi connection, I’m now able to take Netflix on the go with me. I find myself watching Netflix when I'm on break at work or whenever I'm in the car waiting for my friends. The possibilities are endless.

Netflix will never leave you when you want to binge watch your favorite movie or show or if you forget to turn your Netflix off, it will ask if you're still watching just to make sure you want to continue to leave the app open. This was especially helpful at helping pass the time on campus when I would have a seven hour between classes before I go home. You were with me for the last two years of the college career, and I am internally grateful.

Over the past 15 years, according to expanded ramblings, there are over 80 million US subscribers and 34 million international subscribers. To think I'm one of 80 million watching Netflix every day is pretty cool. You, Netflix, have given me the chance to watch whatever I want and whenever I want. The amount of binge nights I’ve been able to have with friends is something I will never forget.

The fact that Netflix tends to discard some content from month to month in order to compensate for the overflow and outpouring of viewers who want a blaster on the past with 80s or 90s shows.

If it were my opinion I think that with Netflix the viewers should be able to selectively choose what they would like Netflix to keep and get rid of permanently.

All in all, thanks for the experience Netflix,

One of your subscribers.

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.
