Netflix original series are usually something to laugh at.

Whenever I'm skimming over Netflix for something to watch I stop and look through the Netflix original series, usually just for sh*ts and giggles. 1/10 times I find something worth watching.

I was at work over winter break and heard my coworker tell another coworker, "Danielle, you look exactly like the girl from 'You'."

By this point, I had already heard about this show. Because social media is basically a form of poison that people cannot seem to steer clear of.

Little puns and jokes about stalking started coming about in memes through Facebook and Twitter. Maybe I'll give this show a shot, I thought.

If you know me, you know I do not watch TV. The last show I fully watched was Shameless. That was my first semester of college. I am now a second-semester Sophomore.

So a show has to be Gossip-Girl good in order for me to spend my days watching them.

One day, at a friend's house back home, we stumbled upon the show "You."

"Let's watch it".

H o o k e d. I literally became obsessed after the first episode. Very unlike me, as I mentioned. It only took me about one week to complete the whole season. And let me just say, there better be a Season 2.

Now if you have not yet watched "You", or haven't finished it yet, stop reading because I'm about to give some spoilers.

While the show kept an interesting plot throughout the first season, there were points where I couldn't help but roll my eyes. For example, the scene where Joe saved drunken Beck from almost getting hit by a train, and the slow motion part of her on top of him.

Also, when Joe snuck into Peach's house and they somehow didn't hear him the entire time?

Anywho, I did find myself very interested in this show. I just hope the directors don't get crazy and ruin it.

The most important thing I take away from this show is you never really know someone, and something like this can happen to anyone. Maybe not in the extremity of Joe, but many people reside in toxic relationships like Joe and Beck's. And this is a perfect example of why you must get out immediately.

Overall, I think the show had an inviting storyline and conveyed an important message. So if you haven't already, watch "You" on Netflix.

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.
