The Stages Of Binging On Netflix

Who doesn't love Netflix? Its like an endless amount of entertainment all in one setting. There are various genres of movies and hundreds of seasons of many different shows, from any time period. No matter what the mood or feeling there is something on Netflix to entertain you for hours. I personally love Netflix when I have the time to watch it, but some of us more than others have experienced the vortex Netflix suck us in; starting with one stage and eventually ending when the show/movie is over. If you have ever started a television series on Netflix I am sure you can relate to the stages of binging it.

1. It all starts with browsing the various genres of series

With so many options it can sometimes be hard to pick just one series so it takes some time to browse and find the perfect show for you.

2. After the first couple of minutes you either like it or hate it

Once this decision is made you either keep watching or pick a new show simple as that

3. Then it begins.......The vortex sucks you in

4. You start to obsess over this show

5. You emotionally attach yourself to the characters

6. And you slowly die when a character is taken off

7.You watch episode after episode

8. Day or night it doesn't matter

9. You start staying home to watch Netflix instead of going out with friends

10. Every night you promise yourself you will be in bed at a certain time...and you do but you're still watching Netflix

11. You finish season after season

12. You eventually notice you are on the last episode of the last season of the series

13. It's all over

14. What are you going to do with your life now?

15. You search shows similar to what you were watching

16. You realize nothing will be the same and as good as the series you just finished

17. And then you find something else and the process starts all over again!

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.

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.
