11 Shows To Binge Watch This Holiday Season
The Eagle Eye

Finals are (finally) over! It's time to sit back, relax, and get your Netflix on. Here are the best shows to binge watch over this Christmas break.

1. Law & Order: SVU

We all love a good crime story, and SVU is the longest running crime drama series on television. Not only can you binge watch this every day on the USA Network (like I've been doing) but seasons 13-17 are now on Netflix. BUM BUM!

2. Stranger Things

Oh Stranger Things, one of our favorite Netflix original. This thriller will be sure to rock your socks off this break with all it's twists and turns. Season 1 is available on Netflix now!

3. Fuller House

For all the 80's and 90's kids out there, you all know the famous show Full House starring John Stamos, Bob Saget, and many other famous actors/actresses we've come to love. Some of our favorites come back to the big screen in the spin off called Fuller House. Good news!!! Seasons 1 & 2 are up on Netflix.

4. Shameless

Shameless. The drama that everyone at school has been talking about. It's an adaptation to the British show Shameless and may just become your favorite new show. Originally aired on Showtime, seasons 1-6 are on Netflix for your binging pleasure.

5. Grey's Anatomy

Our favorite medical drama, and one of the longest running television shows on ABC. Heading into the end of season 13, Grey's never fails to shock and amaze. Even though some of our favorite characters have departed from the show, something keeps us coming back for more. Seasons 1-12 are now on Netflix, or you can binge watch them in order on the Lifetime channel.

6. Dexter

Dexter Morgan; blood splatter analyst by day and serial killer by night. Dexter, not only helps catch criminals, but when the justice system fails he takes matters into his own hands. Seasons 1-8 are available on Netflix now, but be warned...the ending of the series will have you shook to the core.

7. The Office

We've all seen this show at least 3 or 4 times, but that doesn't make it any less funny (or binge worthy). Luckily for you, seasons 1-9 are up on Netflix.

8. The Fall

If you're like me and have a HUGE crush on Jamie Dornan, than The Fall might just be what you need this break. With twists and turns every single episode, The Fall will not disappoint. Originally a British drama, this show is one of the best psychological thrillers out there. Seasons 1-3 are (finally) up on Netflix!

9. OITNB

Orange Is the New Black. I'm sure most of you have finished all the seasons, but while we wait for season 5 to be released on Netflix, binge watching 1-4 will have to do...right? Can you believe that cliff hanger at the end of season 4? Having to wait until July for the next season is painful, but now is the time to catch up (if you haven't already).

10. Criminal Minds

Criminal Minds. One of the longest running American Crime Dramas with 29 nominations and 19 wins. Perhaps one of my personal favorite crime dramas, this show is sure to shock you every step of the way. Seasons 1-11 are now on Netflix!

11. The Walking Dead

Last but surely not least, our favorite zombie horror show. Airing on AMC Sunday nights, seasons 1-6 are now up on Netflix.


Congratulations to all for making it through another term in college! I hope something on this list sparked your interest and happy binge watching!

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.
