Scrolling through my Netflix home page and I see a show with Paris in the title, I have to watch right? 'Emily In Paris' is a comedy/drama that was released as a Netflix original in October of 2020. It stars Lily Collins who plays the intelligent, fashionable, Chicago native, Emily Cooper. The show follows Emily on her journey as she moves to Paris to bring an American perspective to a French marketing firm. Here are a few things that can help you decide if this should be your new Netflix binge.

1. Emily is a LOUD feminist. 

If you're anything like me, you love a good feminist success story. Mid-season, Emily works with a perfume company who insists on having their campaign based around a naked woman. She challenges her client by asking him if his campaign is sexy, or really just sexist? So much girl power. I love it.

2. The shots of Paris are incredible.

I feel like I've toured Paris just after watching one season. The cinematography and the way they capture the city make you feel like you're there with Emily and her friends on all of their adventures. Absolutely stunning.

3. It's extremely realistic. 

If you're looking for a super cheesy, happy ending, this is not the place to find it. 'Emily In Paris' is super cut and dry about the fact that not everything is happy all the time. It's real life, not a fairytale.

4. It sheds light on today's world of the influencer.

While casually posting about her escapades in the city, Emily begins to gain a large instagram following. Without asking, she becomes an influencer-type social media presence and starts to get invited to brand events just for the sole purpose of posting about it. This then gets her into some sticky situations with her job.

5. It shows that you CAN move to a new city alone!

I dream about moving to NYC but it's always the fear of not making any friends and being alone that holds me back. 'Emily In Paris' tells us all that you will make friends! Emily meets her best friend just sitting on a park bench eating a baguette. It may not be that easy, but it is possible!

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.

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.
