I can't remember the last time I sat down and watched TV, but I know for sure that I was on Hulu yesterday rewatching an old show for the third time. These days, it's all about the internet, and with the internet, we have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, and numerous other streaming services that, with the right and usually low price, is ad-free. With this gift that humanity has given me, these are the shows I keep going back to without ever having to wait on a commercial.


1. 'One Tree Hill'

This one's got everything you need - teenage angst and drama that eventually leads to adult angst and drama, romance, the occasional action scene that has you on the edge of your seat. The characters grow, make mistakes, learn, and keep going. What's not to love?

2. 'Teen Wolf'

Finally, a show about werewolves that doesn't involve a generations-long feud with the local vampires! Werewolves with control over their shift, and not just on the full moon! A host of supernatural creatures that are still ultimately human at the end of the day! And, of course, Stiles Stilinski, the human who is never anything else. Such a great show to sit, watch, and fangirl over (or fanboy - we don't judge).

3. 'Supernatural'

Giphy

Okay, admittedly, for a few seasons, it got a little iffy. But season nine brought us back and it's still going strong! This is the show that demonstrates the strength of familial love, as well as showing that "family don't end with blood". What's perhaps most inspiring is the family the show has created in real life, from the actors to the fan base and everything in between. Of course, there is heartbreak galore, but that is the price we must pay for such a show.

4. 'Game of Thrones'

Speaking of heartbreak and tragedy, what an amazing job this does of capturing your attention and making you feel more than just contentment for another good show. Warnings, of course, for violence, language, nudity, and Cersei Lannister's particular brand of crazy. It's truly remarkable how this one demonstrates bad blood between different Houses and the slow, creeping fear of winter and everything it brings in its wake.

5. 'Friends'

Prepare to laugh, to cry, to become absolutely furious with Ross basically any time he opens his mouth (or maybe that's just me). "Friends" is the definition of squad goals. We all need a Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani in our lives. I, myself, have been labeled as a Phoebe by my best friend, who I made watch the show with me. Who says the '90s are out? They never will be with a popular show like this on Netflix.

6. 'The Office'

Let's be real, we all aspire to have a love like Jim and Pam's. Or perhaps Michael and Holly, who make you cringe in the best (and worst) ways. A job does not have to be just a job, as is expressed in this documentary-like series, and embarrassment for every single one of us is inevitable. Not one character is perfect, which makes it so easy to relate to. 10/10 would watch again (or rewatch for the fifth time, but who's counting?).

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.

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.
