You NEED To Be Watching A Docuseries While You're Stuck In Quarantine, You Won't Regret It

Literally, docuseries' are the best thing that have ever happened to me.

When I was at college, I didn't watch anything. Basically all I did was go to class, hang out with my friends, go to my meetings, do homework, and sleep.

If I'm being honest, it was kind of a sad existence, and I noticed myself slowly getting into a rut. I wasn't really doing anything I normally did at home, and it was making me homesick.

Now, with all this time on my hands, I was reminded of my love of bingewatching. I have always loved bingeing, but it was always really difficult for me to find a show to stick to. I got super bored really easily, and I very rarely stuck with a series for too long. That being said, I have found a new love. Something that is real, shocking, and sometimes gruesome to watch.

I have always been a cynic, or "realistic" as I like to call it. I notice all of the bad things that go on in the world, I've been that way for as long as I can remember. To me, it's important to make yourself aware of everything that's going on in the world, not just the happy stuff.

Now, that leads me to one of the greatest discoveries that I could have ever imagined: Docuseries. I know what you're thinking, documentaries are boring, why would I ever want to watch a whole series dedicated to true events? Let me tell you, stop thinking like that. Some of these stories are so harrowing, it's impossible to not fall in love with them.

They allow you to see the world in a whole new light, and not all of them are sad. From "Self Made," a story discussing the triumph of Madam C.J. Walker to "Surviving R. Kelly," multiple testimonials of the victims of R. Kelly, there is something for everyone. I gotta tell you, I've watched four docuseries in the past four days, and it's not looking like I'm going to stop anytime soon.

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.
