3 Must-Binge Netflix Original Shows
Netflix

As the school year approaches, our "Netflix and Chill" nights are approaching as well, and you want to be prepared for it. Whether you're cuddling with your bae, having a movie night with friends, or just want to stay in and cuddle up next to your pillow on a rainy day, I'm giving you my top 5 shows that are "Netflix and Chill" worthy.

1. Dear White People.

If you are the type of person who is interested in politics and what's going on in the world today, including racial stereotypes, this is the show for you.

This Netflix Original follows a mixed-race college student, Samantha White, that leads an outcry on campus about a Blackface party that was hosted to rebel against her college radio show.

Not only does this show cover black stereotypes but, it also gives you an insight of what it's like being a mixed kid and having to choose which ethnicity you identify with (which has been a part of my struggle) as well as living on a college campus that ignores cultural problems because they don't want to deal with it.

Every situation and storyline is dealt with humor but, also has their serious moments that are relevant to what is going on in the world today.

2. Jessica Jones.

This one is for all my Marvel fans. I am a huge fan of Marvel and this show has got to be the best Marvel show yet. This (Marvel) Netflix Original follows a Private Investigator, Jessica Jones on her journey to stopping a mind-controlling genius named, Killgrave.

The storyline to this show is unlike any other. As most of us are used to seeing Marvel shows that consist of the protagonist having superpowers, Jessica Jones is your average American girl. Her powers consist of drinking a lot of whiskey.

3. Fuller House.

If you're in the mood to watch a comedy instead of a drama, this would be your pick. If you're as big of a fan as I am of Full House, you'll appreciate it a bit more.

Fuller House is a spin-off based on the ABC Family Show Full House. This Netflix Original follows the Tanner sisters coming together with DJ's best friend, Kimmy, to raise DJ's three sons and Kimmy's daughter under the same roof they were raised in.

Not only does this show bring back memories but, is full of special guest stars, Olsen twins references and fantastic humor. The best part is, Netflix has blessed you with two seasons! Binge on my friends!

I hope some of these shows spark an interest. All have amazing story lines and truth behind certain situations.

May your Netflix and Chill days be cozy and comfy!

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.
