How To: Netflix And Chill (Properly)
Musik Express

Amidst endless controversies in our society, one of the biggest, if not the biggest, is how to properly Netflix and Chill. Now, if you go on any kind of social media or watch the news or don't live under a rock, you probably know what the phrase Netflix and Chill means (if not, feel free to Urban Dictionary it...). However, after much research, studies have shown a new way to Netflix and Chill has surfaced. Therefore, I would like to introduce you to the new and improved way to Netflix and Chill.

Disclaimer: Content may not be suitable for some children, animals, or those not subscribed to Netflix.

Step One: Return home or retire back to your dorm after a long day of work/classes. Unwind with a nice glass of wine, or a cheap bottle of water for those underage, broke college kids. Grab any snacks that you may need during the course of your Netflix and Chill time. This could be a long night.

Step Two: Clear that schedule. Grab a phone, calendar, planner, anything that you could use to clear your schedule. Netflix and Chilling is a very complicated and time-consuming process. It's important that you not be interrupted.

Step Three: Referring to the previous step, it is now time to send out a mass text message to all of the people that might possibly interrupt your Netflix and Chill time. It is recommended that you text friends, family (parents in particular), co-workers, bosses, roommates, etc. This includes updates from news apps and social media apps, even Tinder. The world can wait. You're about to Netflix and Chill. They'll understand.

Step Four: The one person that you definitely need nearby is that pizza man. Domino's is among the favorites because they deliver. If you have a dog at your disposal, now would be the appropriate time to gather that canine and carefully place him/her on your lap. It's very important that the dog be the most comfortable of all of the parties participating in this Netflix and Chill session, so that the dog will stay for the entire duration.

Step Five: While receiving your pizza from the pizza man, use this opportunity to cover all of the bodily necessities that may need to be satisfied while you're enjoying your Netflix and Chill. This includes using the bathroom, getting a drink of water, online shopping, texting back your boyfriend to leave you alone, locking your door because this will be a long night, etc. Let's be real, the next time you see daylight might be 48 hours from now.

Step Six: Finally, you are ready for Netflix and Chill. This may perhaps be the biggest decision you've made all week. In order to fully participate in and enjoy Netflix and Chill, you must choose a show that you will not turn off. Netflix and Chill guidelines ensure that reaching for the remote or mouse may be too strenuous for the body to handle during full penetration of Netflix and Chill.

Step Seven: Congratulations, you are now completely immersed in Netflix and Chill! It's been a long way coming and incredibly challenging on an internal level, but the results will pay off. Be sure to apply Netflix and Chill for approximately 12-24 hours. Any longer than that can be very dangerous to the body and mind, however, many choose to ignore this rule. Society has made it socially acceptable, so if your timing exceeds the stated time frame, there's no need for alarm. You are advised though to limit as much contact with the outside world as possible. Netflix and Chill is about you and you alone. However many brain cells you lose in the process cannot be blamed on anyone else. Enjoy!

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
