5 Reasons You Need To Binge-Watch The Circle on Netflix

When I first saw the trailer for the The Circle on Netflix, I thought it was another generic reality show filled with people whose only care is how many followers they have on social media. Oh man was I wrong.

The Circle is about a group of people who can't hear or see each other, but they can interact through 'the circle'. The goal is to become the most popular and win 100,000 dollars. But there's a lot more reasons to watch this show then just seeing who wins.

1. The Players Begin to Feel Like a Second Family!

Although each player begins the game thinking that anyone and everyone is there competition, they each grow to love and care for each other. The touching moments and caring personalities outshine in each contestant's personality. They all become so close to each other, and you can't help but fall in love with all of them.

2.The Show Acts as A Commentary On How Social Media isn't Reality

So since each of the contestants can't see or hear each other, not everyone is who they seem. Almost all the contestants acknowledge that they put themselves in a persona/character to gain popularity. There's also a short segment about the difference between people reacting to a fat girl online versus a thin girl.

3. Shooby

Shooby aka Shubham was actually not one of my favorites at the beginning. He came in with the mentality that social media is the devil, even likening it to social medusa. His strategy was to be as genuine as possible, and he slowly grew on me and all the other contestants. I guess it shows that if you're real on social media, people will like you alot more.

4. The Unique Challenges

Each day all the players get a challenge. The challenges are hilarious, and showcase each contestant's talents. From cake decorating to Chris not knowing who Kevin Jonas is, these challenges will always have you laughing

5. Joey and Shooby's Bromance

When you meet Joey, you would never guess that he would be friends with Shooby. Joey comes across as frat boy type, while Shooby seems much more nerdy. But their budding friendship and loyalty is something that makes you realize, opposites really do attract.

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.
