The Stages Of Binge-Watching Netflix

We've all been there: it's 3:00 a.m. and your thought process looks something like... "Just two more episodes and then I'm done with the season!" It doesn't matter that you have to be up at 8:00 a.m., obviously. Netflix has made most of us into addicts. And it's fine. We like it. We love the satisfaction that comes with finishing an entire season of "Grey's Anatomy" in one day. We love that the next season is right there, ready for us whenever we want it. There are so many episodes available that it's hard not to binge-watch. It all starts with...

Stage 1: The Hunt

You've had your fellow Netflix-lovers tell you about all the amazing shows available. Now, you're scrolling through show after show, trying to find the perfect one to capture your attention. Better make sure it has at least three seasons, or else, is it really binge-worthy?

Stage 2: The Beginning

You start the pilot episode. It's do-or-die here. If this episode doesn't get you into the show, you're back to stage one. But, if this episode is good, you'll probably be hooked. Once that episode ends and you liked the show, you click next episode.

Stage 3: Bingeing

You started this show five hours ago, and you're still watching. You've probably only paused for bathroom breaks and snacks (maybe not even then). If your friends have watched this before, you're texting them because you're freaking out, asking for answers, and demanding to know what happens next.

Stage 4: Hooked.

It's undeniable. You can't stop watching. All you want to do is lie in your bed with Netflix. You're absorbed in these characters lives and you never want to leave!

Stage 5: Denial

It's finally come down to it. You only have one season left. You try and pace it out, but let's be honest, you're going to watch it in 1-2 days.

Stage 6: The end.

You finished the show. You've run out of seasons on Netflix, or maybe it ended. What do you do now? How can you ever replace that show? I guess it's time to go back to Stage 1.

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.
