6 Shows To Binge Over Winter Break
theverge.com

Christmas Break is here and free time is of abundance. Now you will have those get-togethers with your relatives like Cousin Eddie and Aunt Pam that will go swimmingly and the nights with your friends that you will enjoy, but what about all the free time in between? That's where you can binge watch shows on any streaming device, and enjoy laying back and just being lazy for a while, because you're awesome and you've earned it. Now let me tell you which six shows you should definitely binge watch this break, and get used to and where to find them. Let us begin.

6. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

Where to find it: Netflix

Set a full 10 years after the finale of the show, this hit returned a few weeks ago to the delight of many, and for you girls out there, it is worth a look if you watched the original show. 4 episodes and you get to go back to Stars Hollow, what could be better?

5. Timeless

Where to find it: NBC App, Hulu, YouTube.

Timeless is a brand new hit on NBC that follows three unlikely heroes as they travel throughout time to stop a criminal from altering the events of history in the world for his gain. They must be careful to not alter the timeline of events themselves in this thriller. If you enjoy history, this is right up your alley, and with it being only 10 episodes into its run, now is the perfect time to catch up before it resumes in January.

4. Gotham

Where to find it: Netflix, Hulu.

There are a plethora of superhero shows on television now with Arrow, The Flash, and Netflix originals such as Daredevil and Luke Cage. Why Gotham? Because it sets in the origins of the city and the childhood of one of the most popular superheros in the world, Bruce Wayne's Batman. Follow Bruce, Detective Jim Gordon, Catwoman, and more in the fast paced action drama that will give you goosebumps more than once. The development of stories for legendary Batman villains such as The Penguin, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, and Professor Hugo Strange make this a must see. The first 2 seasons are already on Netlfix, and the first half of season 3 is on Hulu. Also, a Joke or two may be teased as well.

3. The Night Manager

Where to find it: Amazon Video, Itunes

The most obscure of the six shows, The Night Manager sure has star power with Hugh Laurie (House M.D) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki in various Marvel Movies) and is a six part mini-series from AMC (formerly from England). It follows Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) a Night Manager at a Hotel (What a concept) being persuaded by British officials to attempt to take down a kingpin in an undercover arms trade in Richard Roper (Laurie). It has received critical acclaim from all over the globe, and is a show that you would love to quickly binge and take the roller coaster ride that is The Night Manager.

2. The Office (United States)

Where to find it: Netflix

Why binge this? Because you can never have too much of "The Office". If you haven't started, there are nine seasons, so gear up for laughs galore, and plenty of enjoyable hours from a star-studded cast.

1. Stranger Things

Where to find it: Netflix

This Netflix original set in the 1980's is a show that you think is going in a certain direction most of the time. Subsequently, that direction you think it is going in, is the farthest thing where it was actually going. Follow a group of young boys as their friend Will Byers gets lost in an alternate realm, unbeknownst to them, and their quest to find him along with Will's family, the local rogue police chief Jim Hopper, Eleven, a girl with interesting powers of the mind, and countless other incredible characters. It is a sci-fi drama mixed with many things that are cherished from the 1980's. It has that big show feel to it, and you'll be hooked from the beginning. 8 episodes is what you have to work with before Season 2 is released next summer, but this is the #1 I would recommend to binge over Christmas Break.

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.
