7 Reasons Netflix Will Ruin Your Life

1. You will never want to leave your bed… or chair… or wherever it is that you are situated.

Sure, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet or even changed out of your pajamas, but why would you want to when your whole world’s right here?

Also, that would involve moving.

2. Next episode is playing in fourteen seconds.

“But Netflix, I have to go potty! Oh well, I guess it can wait. I’ll just go ahead and ignore the fact that this is exactly what I said prior to the previous episode starting in fourteen seconds...which, now that I think about it, would explain why my bladder feels like it’s about to explode.”

3. It will waste all of your time.

With one episode playing right after the other, one naturally wants to watch several in a row — as well as conveniently forget that one episode is about half an hour long at the very least. I’ll let that speak for itself, because you know damn well you don’t just watch one.

4. It will destroy your social life.


Admit it, there have been days that you literally did not see anyone because you were in your dorm all day watching back-to-back episodes of "Orange Is The New Black," and when this was pointed out to you, you tried to get defensive but you had no rebuttal.

5. It will make you stay up until ungodly hours.

" Sleep? What's sleep? Irrelevant as long as there are still more episodes of this season to be watched. Anyway, I'll be finished with it in just a little bit." - me at four in the morning

6. It will take your time management skills and flush them down the toilet.

"That homework I had? Yeah, I'll do it later. Class just ended and I need some quality chill time. I know! I'll watch Netflix!" - you, before you find out too late that you just wasted three four five hours of your precious homework time to watch your favorite show

7. It will result in starting your homework way later than you should.

Have you ever started your homework at two in the morning in a fatigued daze and fallen asleep at the computer several times while you attempt to bang out an essay at the last minute? Me too.

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.
