10 Signs You're Addicted To Netflix

Odds are if you think you are addicted to Netflix, you probably already are—let's just be sure.

1. You have binge-watched a show on Netflix for four or more hours.

If you are like me, four hours sounds like nothing to curl up to your laptop and watch your favorite show. You can click on Netflix at noon, and before you know it, it will be dinner time. Netflix marathons > real marathons.

2. You have your own Netflix account.

Borrowing someone else's account sounds like nonsense to you—you NEED your own account. Besides, what is $7.99 a month to you anyway? But you would not dare spend the $14 for a shared account. Your account is your baby and that's it.


3. You have pulled an all-nighter watching Netflix.

One movie just does NOT do it for you. One season does not do it either. Falling asleep to your favorite show or movie sounds like a great idea...until you look outside and the sun is coming up all of a sudden.

.


4. You refuse to watch a movie if it is not on Netflix.

What kind of crazy person spends money RENTING or BUYING a movie when there are hundreds already on my laptop?


5. You follow a Netflix Original Series on one or more social media networks (Tumblr, Twitter, etc.).

Who doesn't follow OITNB on Tumblr?


6. You have a list of shows, in order, that you need to watch on Netflix.

After you are done with all 11 seasons of "Grey's Anatomy," then you have to watch the new season of "OITNB," and then you need to start watching "Arrested Development"...


7. You have used Netflix as an excuse not to go out.

You don't need friends. Lorelai and Rory Gilmore are your friends.


8. You have been told that you have a problem.

If someone specifically tells you that you watch too much Netflix, they are wrong. There is obviously no such thing as too much Netflix...right?


9. You have gotten emotionally attached to the characters in the show you watch.

Since you watch the show for hours on end every day, the characters in the show start to feel like family too. When someone in the show loses a friend or family member, you lose them too. When they cry, you cry.

.


10. You barely got through reading this whole article without getting distracted by Netflix.

Or you are just really good at multitasking.

    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.
