Why, Netflix? Why?

Netflix Is Removing The TV Show "Friends" And I'm Not Okay.

Why, Netflix? Why?

Earlier this year, Netflix, a multi-million dollar media provider and production company, announced they were removing the 90's sitcom "Friends" from Netflix. Apparently, they decided to remove the show because Netflix lost a bidding war with WarnerMedia, and it has cost them up to $100 by running the show for 5 years. The TV show will be moving from Netflix to HBO Max.

For me, someone who has rewatched "Friends" at least 3 times, I can't wrap my head around their decision, considering this show alone probably provides a large amount of the profit the company is making. "Friends" is a sitcom from the 90's that has stayed as popular now as when it was airing. It is a show that has never gotten old, and It is one of my favorite shows to watch.

Not only is "Friends" a huge influence on TV sitcoms today, the show also inspired it's own fashion statements, as well as hair styles. That is how big of an impact it made on television in the 90's. But this is not the reason I, as well as so many others, are upset about the shows sudden departure.

"Friends" is one of those shows that you never get tired of, and one that never ages. Even though the show first aired more than 20 years ago, it is still one of the most watched tv shows on Netflix. For me, I like shows and movies that can make me laugh rather than a drama. No matter how many times I have rewatched the show in its entirety, I always find it one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever watched. I don't know what could be taking the place of "Friends", but it better be good.

When "Friends" said "I'll be there for you", I was hoping it would be for a little while longer.

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.
