If you are among the many who have become entranced in the Duffer Brothers’ “Stranger Things” series, then there is some good news for you.

Starting in the tail end of 1993 Chris Carter debuted his newest creation, “The X-Files”, a TV series that followed FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and his partner Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) on their quest to solve paranormal files.

Mulder is relentlessly in search of his younger sister Samantha who he believes was abducted by aliens in their home when they were young. The experience prompted Mulder to delve into the world of paranormal research. Scully, on the other hand is a skeptic on all things out of the ordinary. She is scientific-minded and relies on what she knows to be true, while Mulder thinks of things outside of the universe (sometimes literally).

Although The Duffer brothers have confirmed that “Stranger Things” is set to take a deeper look into the Upside Down next season, we have only seen a peak into the realm thus far. While “The X Files” deals with variations of a supernatural world on an episode to episode basis. Whether it is a group of vampires (Season 2, Episode 7), a troubled shapeshifter (Season 4, Episode 20), a thousand year-old lizard man (Season 3, Episode 10), or a seemingly alive gargoyle (Season 3, Episode 14) “The X Files” is based around bizarre, unexplainable occurrences.

Similar to “Stranger Things”, “The X Files” gathered a strong cult following early on and created a deep fan base. Both shows are garnished with phenomenal acting and cinematography. These two things are needed in order for a TV show to be realistic and gain notoriety. “The X Files” has an 8.7/10 rating according to IMDb, while “Stranger Things” has racked in a slightly higher rating of 9.1/10 according to IMDb.

Perhaps “Stranger Things” is the the new and improved “X Files”. With young male leads and highly talented writers, it is surely one of the best Sci-Fy TV shows in years. All I am waiting for now, is Mulder and Scully to guest star, meet Eleven and take down Hawkins together!

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.

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.
