Phases Of Binge Watching Criminal Minds
fanpop

I love Criminal Minds and when I saw that season 11 was released on Netflix, I was so excited. I immediately started binge watching the season because the show has me hooked. This got me thinking about the phases I went through when binge watching the show. Its a trap and causes a lot of mixed emotions, but don't all shows? I came up with 5 phases: addiction, attachment, anger, anxiety and agony.

Phase 1: Addiction

You can never watch just one episode of criminal minds. It sucks you in and one episode turns into five, next thing you know you have watched all 11 seasons on Netflix.

Phase 2: Attachment

All of the characters on Criminal Minds are loveable. From Garcia to Hotch you love them all because they all have their unique qualities that make you fall in love with them, but don't get too attached because that leads to phase 3.

Phase 3: Anger

That moment when you realize your favorite character is gone and you think the show will never be the same. You hate the writers for writing them off or the actors for leaving the show but at least you can rewatch the episodes they're in, right?

Phase 4: Anxiety

The show might give you nightmares, cause some anxiety and paranoia because some of the storyline are really messed up but that's all part of the show. The anxiety hits when think relate things in real life to the show and paranoia hits when walking home at night because someone could grab you like they do in the show. But don't worry too much, its just a show.

Phase 5: Agony

When all the season are done and you have to wait till the next one comes on, just rewatch the series because you now you want to.

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.

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.
