So it's every college kid's worst time of the year: final exams. I personally always wait until last minute to do everything, so here are my favorite shows I've watched and deem worthy of "binge-watching."

The Office

The show that usually comes to mind when thinking about binge-worthy shows. One of the first shows I ever binged watched. With Jim and Dwight's crazy shenanigans and Michael's hilarious outbursts, this show is sure to please. Streaming on Netflix.

The Handmaid's Tale

The latest of my binging. This is set in the future where not many women can get pregnant, but the ones who can are forced into becoming breeders they call "handmaids". Very addicting and can finish in one day! Streaming on Hulu.

Bob's Burgers

One of my favorites. The crazy characters and pun-filled burger names make me laugh every time. Gene is actually the star of this show. Streaming on Hulu CAUSE NETFLIX TOOK IT OFF.

Parks and Recreation

My favorite live action tv show. This show is so addictive with its relatable characters that can resonate with any and everyone. Mine is personally Ron Swanson. Follows the lives of people working in the Parks and Rec department in a small Indiana town. Streaming on Netflix and Hulu.

Dexter

The one my dad forced me to watch over Christmas break freshman year. This show was so so so good and a perfect binge show since there are seven seasons. It's a dude who works for the Miami Police Department but kills serial killers on the side. Full of twists and turns in a good way. Streaming on Netflix and Hulu.

Rick and Morty

Crazy and full of new references you'll start using after watching. Follows the adventures of a twelve-year-old boy (Morty) and his scientist grandpa (Rick). Get schwifty cause it's streaming on Hulu.

Shameless

Another on my dad made me watch. Not the most family friendly haha. Follows the lives of a low-class family living in Chicago with plenty of crazy turns every episode. Streaming on Netflix and Hulu.

Friends

The perfect show for some background noise for studying. Or binge since there are a whopping ten beloved seasons of this 90's classic. Chronicles the lives of six friends living in New York trying to figure out their own lives in adulthood. Streaming on Netflix and Hulu.

Stranger Things

Remember in the fall of 2016 when Stranger Things was all anyone could talk about? Well if you didn't succumb to peer pressure, you should now. The story is based in a small town in Indiana in the 1980's. A lab has terrible mishaps and causes the whole town to suffer. Streaming on Netflix.

American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson

I LOVE EVERYTHING THIS SHOW COMES OUT WITH. Although there are only 2 seasons, like AHS each season takes a look at a new crime in American history. Right now they are doing The Assassination of Gianni Versace which is also very good. The People vs. OJ gives an unbiased look at what happened the day of the killings and the year-long trial. Streaming on Netflix.

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.
