1.Black Mirror

Every episode of Black Mirror involves a new cast and a new setting. Essentially, Black Mirror is a futuristic Twilight Zone that makes you ponder what our own world would be like in different drastic scenarios that are just barely within reach.

2.Touch

A child diagnosed with autism has an innate ability to analyze numbers. But Jake's talent with numbers is not only revered in the mathematical world; he is able to communicate through numbers with the real world. The way Jake correlates numbers to reality highlights the mathematical side of our real world.

3.Girls

Girls is a reality based fiction show, starring the lead role of three girls trying to figure their lives out. Girls is special amongst other shows for the fact that it features incredibly average people going about their lives and documenting feelings in expressive yet relatable ways. While Lena Dunham may not be the most idolized person, Girls is sure to get you thinking about social dynamics.

4.Limitless

A failing musician named Brian takes a notorious drug, NZT, which has deathly side effects. The risks are worth the outcomes for Brian, as he receives superhuman abilities to process information at incredible speed. When the F.B.I. finds out about Brian's power, they hire him for government use.

5.The OA

Prarie, a blind woman who had been missing for years is returned to her hometown, with complete vision. The OA is sci-fi drama that defies expectations set on television shows. From frequent viewers, the OA is something that cannot be explained, only watched.

6. Vsauce

Okay, I know that Vsauce is a youtube channel and not a T.V. show, but if you're looking solely for mind twisting, complex theories, watch vsauce. His channel is filled with different ideas and concepts, and each video is about 20 minutes of thought provoking, cerebral content.

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.

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.
