The CW

On Nov. 13, Netflix will do the unthinkable: remove "How I Met Your Mother."

Fans of the show reacted in shock and sadness when the news was officially confirmed on Oct. 30. "How I Met Your Mother" was a Netflix staple since it was first added to the website five years ago because it is both hilarious and binge-worthy.

Now, fans and new viewers alike will not be able to have the show readily available to them. It is truly a time of mourning and perhaps you too are going through the five stages of grief while trying to cope with the news.

1. Denial

When the news first broke, you tried to deny it and believe that it was simply an internet hoax.

2. Anger

How dare they take your favorite show off of Netflix? What are you going to do now? It all just feels like someone slapped you across the face.

3. Bargaining

“For the love of God, take "Pretty Little Liars" off instead!”

4. Depression

You begin binge-watching the show for what feels like the final time. You are kind of ashamed about how emotional you get.

5. Acceptance

After going through this intense healing process and 208 episodes, you decide to check out what’s on Hulu and see that they also have every single episode of "HIMYM" and realize that all that stands between you and your favorite show is stealing your roommate’s Hulu password.

You tried to destroy us all Netflix, but it looks like we won this round. Now please leave "New Girl", "The Office" and "Friends", alone.

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.
