10 Reasons Why You Should Watch Stranger Things
Netflix

1. The suspense

The suspense is KILLER! There is something to be said for a show that can make myself, my dad and my sister all scream out loud (even though we watched with the lights on).

2. The go-to-sleep-afterwards-ability

Even though the show is suspenseful, it isn't actually that scary. The plot is realistic enough that the characters and emotions are completely relatable, but unrealistic enough that i'm not too scared to go to sleep after watching it.

3. The relationships

Hopper and Joyce, the boys and Mr. Clarke, Nance and Jonathan, Nance and Steve, Jonathan and Steve, Jonathan and Joyce, Eleven and Benny, and most importantly: El and Mike. *Sniff* :_(

4. The music

Even if you've only watched the first episode, you know the truth. That title song is never getting un-stuck from your head. Sorry not sorry.

5. The cult

Meeting someone who watches the show is like meeting another long-lost member of the family. Stranger Things is a lifestyle, people. Not everyone understands, but those who do are always welcome at my house. You want to watch an episode? Come on over, I'll bring the snacks!

6. The binge-watch-ability

It's only eight episodes on Netflix. No commercials, no interruptions, six hours is basically the blink of an eye in the life of a serial Netflix-show-binge-watcher.

7. Eggo waffles

This show is the best advertisement campaign for a breakfast food this world has ever seen. El will not leggo her Eggo.

8. The despicableness of Dr. Brenner


From the moment he is introduced on screen, watchers know to hate him. We hate his perfect white hair. We hate his clinical lab coat. We hate how he nods at El to kill the cat. We hate how he carries El and how she calls him 'Papa'. However, we LOVED when the demogorgon got him!

9. The heartbreak


Benny. El calling Brenner 'Papa.' Joyce's lights. Nance choosing Steve. ELEVEN!!!

10. Gaten Matarazzo


Even at the show's darkest and spookiest moments, Gaten (aka Dustin) never fails to lighten the mood with another witty comment, unexpected from a fourteen-year-old. "She went like this!!:" *Mimes pulling his shirt over his head*

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
