Starting a new show is exciting and thrilling. And if it is on Netflix, it is even more gratifying. It allows you to binge watch entire seasons of your favorite shows until the wee hours of the morning, However, like all good things in life, even your favorite shows have to end. Now when this happens there are 10 stages of grief that we all go through when we finally finish our favorite show. All 27 seasons of it.

1. Cry tears of joy

Such a beautiful show, such amazing characters I can't believe it's over, omg so many EMOTIONS!

2. Imagine what is next for the characters in your own little fantasy

Jim and Pam definitely send Cece off to college. Emily (Amanda) and Jack definitely have a long happy life together. Omg my kids are all grown up and living their lives without me! So cute!

3. Become Angry

Why did I watch 12 episodes last night! I could have dragged this out further! No I don't want it to end! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!


4. Have no idea what to do with your life

What am I supposed to do after work now?! I have no excuse or reason to stay up until 4am anymore...

5. Start subconsciously comparing everyone you know to the characters

Wow she is SUCH a Kelly! Wow..he is definitely acting like Caleb right now...so annoying.

6. Start having withdrawals

I can't believe the producers left the show off like that. WHAT ELSE HAPPENS! I want to know! Do another season! Please!!!

7. Cry tears of flowing sadness

BUT WHY DID IT HAVE TO END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


8. Try to find everyone in your life possible who has seen it so you can relive it one more time

You watch that too! I love it! What did you think of that! Oh yes and this and this and this and this!

9. Find the courage to start a new show

It's over, it's over...it's time to move on. Even though I'll never find a show as good as that one... I have to try.

10. Watch the show all over again

I HAVE TO IT'S TOO GOOD! I AM NOT ADDICTED, I'M FINE!

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.
