Why You'll Want To Watch "The X-Files"

If you've never heard of the show "The X-Files," you're about to. "The X-Files" is about two FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully who work as a team to uncover strange cases and the truth about the extraterrestrial possibilities. Scully is a skeptic assigned to "the x-files" with Mulder who wants to find life on any planet but this one. It has been ranked third for Top 100 Best Television Series according to The Hollywood Reporter. However, the show is a bit long with about twenty two episodes per season (there are nine seasons) But don't worry! It's a great show to start and it's already on Netflix and isn't going to be taken off anytime soon so you can watch it whenever. A best friend of mine recommended the show to me and I have been on the edge of my seat, couch, and bed during every episode. The show is full of conspiracies and trust issues but coming from someone who almost never watches television, I encourage everyone to watch it and here's why:

According to The Hollywood Reporter it is the third best television series out of one hundred!

It will keep you open minded. That doesn't mean it will make you believe in aliens, well actually it might.

There are multiple strong female characters. There are two starring female leads who are agents Dana Scully (in gif) and Monica Reyes who you'll meet later in the show.

It's actually funny even with the corrupt government setting. Mulder really brings comedy to the show with his weirdness and Scully with her sarcasm.

There are characters who you'll love. These guys are seriously the best.

And then there are characters who you'll love to hate. I'll leave you to find out the not-so-trustworthy men and women.

But this show still makes you not trust anyone. Not even Mulder and Scully can save the day every time, but that's what makes the show interesting.

I have to say the show is pretty frustrating but that's what makes it addicting. However please don't go pouring gasoline on yourself, you may not be as lucky as Mulder.

The best part? It's on Netflix! That's right and it won't be leaving anytime soon.

There's even a 2016 mini series! Not on Netflix but it's out there, like the truth.

Mulder and Scully are goals. Both are hardworking and not afraid to bend government rules. I also recommend not trying.

Finally, you'll want to believe.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
