Why Netflix and Chill Is Actually A Pretty Cool Date Idea

Alright so the phrase "Netflix and Chill" is internet slang for that text some douchebag sends you at 1 in the morning using Netflix (a prime source of entertainment) as a way to get in your pants.

I am not for that at all, unless you're into that and don't mind going over to some guy's house expecting to actually watch Friday Night Lights only to get pounced on five minutes later.

If you're like me, you wish that "Netflix and Chill" actually meant "Netflix and Chill."

If we were to ignore all the sub-text behind "Netflix and Chill," and actually did Netflix and Chill without jumping on top of the other person, we would find it is a pretty cool way to get to know a member of the opposite sex!

Think about it:

1) It is an inexpensive date.


Most of us are in college. We spend all our money on alcohol and food. Chances are you have probably stolen your mom's or your ex-boyfriend's Netflix password and so this is essentially a low-maintenance, no-stress, and no-cost date night. Yas. Everyone wins.

2) I am going to like you so much more if you watch my shows with me.

I am 3000% more likely to want to see you again if we can fan-girl over Tim Riggins together, or even if you listen to me cry over the fact that Grey's Anatomy has killed off literally every single likeable character.

3) What a person watches on Netflix speaks volumes about who they are.

Your Netflix game will be strong af by combining your interests with someone else's. Different tastes spark a thing called CONVERSATION, something a lot of us lack with the opposite sex.

4) Food.

Quite possible the most important aspect. I don't know about you, but I always watch Netflix with snacks. You know an apple, some chips, Chipotle, a whole pizza...just something light like that. Food is the best part of my day and having someone there to eat and watch Netflix with me (other than my roommate) would be a nice change.


This article might make me look like some kind of weird fascist who doesn't want boys to take girls out on dates anymore, but I'm not, I'm just someone who thinks a Netflix movie night isn't a negative thing.

Unless he texts you at 2 am. Then it isn't a date, it's a booty call and you should stay your booty in your own bed.

-peace, love, netflix, & chill

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.

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.
