What All Netflix Fans Are Secretly Thinking

The many reasons I am in love with a streaming website.

What All Netflix Fans Are Secretly Thinking

I am proud to say I am in love with Netflix. I have been for years. I have spent so many hours watching it, that it's actually kind of disgusting. I have watched everything from Breaking Bad to Gossip Girl to Weeds. I love them all. There is a difference between watching cable and watching Netflix. This difference is exactly why I love it so much. I don't have to wait a week to see if Rory and Lorelai stop fighting. I don't have to be home at 7 to see if Damon and Elena are still together. I get to see it all at once.

Netflix will never leave me. It will never just go away. I can watch every show I want as much as I want, as long as I pay my bill. Who cares if I watch twelve episodes straight? Who needs sleep? Not me! I just need to see what happens next. I will admit, I might have a slight Netflix addiction, but that's much better than having a drug addiction. It is to the point where I have my days mapped out to wear I can watch as much as possible in my free time.

The thing that pulls me in about Netflix is how attached I get to shows. I get to the last season and I can't even begin to watch it because I don't want to let go of the characters. I balled like a baby trying to finish House. I have yet to finish Mad Men because I don't want to see it end. You get to know the characters, you love them and you watch them everyday for months, and then poof! They are gone. Their story is over. And unless it's a Veronica Mars situation where the fans love the show enough to fund the entire movie, you know that you will never get to see these characters again. You can rewatch the show, but it's not the same. It isn't the same love at first sight that you had when you watched the pilot.

My mother doesn't understand how obsessed my sister and I are with Netflix. She doesn't understand the feels it pulls out of us. Most people don't. You have to be a very passionate person to have these reactions to TV shows. I understand that it's just a show and that the characters aren't real people, but for the month that it takes me to watch a show, they are real people, with real lives. I care about the shows more than I care about most people, and I'm okay with that.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
