College can feel very stressful or overwhelming at times. As the semester progresses, more tests, papers and projects will begin to arise. Eventually, you may want to take a break from all that work and just relax for a bit. When that happens, here is a list of some noteworthy shows to watch on Netflix.

1. Life Unexpected

This show is about a teen girl who lived in foster care her whole life. When she decides to get emancipated, she ends up meeting her birth parents. It is a great show to watch if you want to watch something quickly because it is only two seasons. It has a more unique storyline and has a satisfying ending to the show.

2. Freaks and Geeks

This show depicts different types of people in high school as they deal with various adolescent problems. It is only one season, so it is another show that is quick to get through. The show has been out for a long time now, but it is still worth the watch. Also, there are some famous actors in it such as James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel.

3. Shameless

This show is about the Gallagher family. It is centered around six children that learn to take care of themselves after their mother left and their father became an alcoholic. The show is the perfect balance of being serious and funny. It is more of a time commitment to watch since there are six seasons on Netflix and the show is still going on. Plus, the show seems to be gaining popularity as I keep hearing more and more people talking about it.

4. White Collar

This show is about a white-collar criminal that agrees to help the FBI catch other white-collar criminals. It is a funny show that deals with different crimes in each episode, while also having long on-going storylines throughout. White Collar is also a time commitment with six seasons.

5. Bates Motel

This show is a prequel to the film “Psycho,” showing how Norman Bates became the man he was. It is creepy, suspenseful and intriguing. Not to mention that the acting is very well done. The fourth season of this show was recently added to Netflix.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
