Faces Anyone Who Has Binged A Show Will Recognize

'Tis the season for Netflix and snacks.

Faces Anyone Who Has Binged A Show Will Recognize
Productive Magazine

Summer is undeniably a time for restlessness, idleness, and copious amounts of time wasted. Even though the end of May brings optimistic hopes of "getting a head start" on reading for the fall semester or "finally getting healthy" or catching up on your sleep so you can be on a "normal sleep pattern". But, without fail, the end of July comes around before you've gotten the chance to catch up with all those hometown high school friends you promised you would. One of the greatest time suckers of all time is our best friend and worst enemy, Netflix. All my binge watchers out there living large this summer (not leaving bed all day), this is for you.

1. The "You have to watch this show"

Alright, if you say so. It sounds interesting enough.

2. The "Can't get enough"

They're known to scream, "This is the best show ever written!"

3. The "Trying and failing to avoid spoilers"

Bonus points if your friends have already seen the whole series and constantly forget that you haven't.

4. The "It's a beautiful day outside but I can't be bothered"

Sure, everyone you know is on vacation or at a music festival, but you're enjoying hours of endless entertainment for (almost) free.

5. The "This is the last episode I'm watching before I go to sleep"

Who decided that every single episode should end in a cliffhanger? What sick, twisted person has done this to me?

6. The "Have you done anything all day?"

No, Mom, I have not. And I will not.

7. The "OMG, I finished a season in less than a day"

I feel a weird combination of pride and disgust at your "accomplishment."

8. The "Only three more episodes!!!"

There are far too many loose ends; they cannot possibly resolve everything.

9. The "What do you mean that's the end?!"

I demand more!!! Reunite the cast! Make a movie! Anything to keep the series alive!

10. The "My life is empty without this show"

The characters felt like friends, maybe even family, and without their lives to distract you from your own, everything just feels pointless.

11. The "What should I watch next?"

You will find another show to binge and you will repeat the entire process again. But then again, if you don't, maybe you'll actually get up and start doing productive things!

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.

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.
