11 Netflix Shows To Binge During Your Turkey Coma

One of the best things about Thanksgiving break is four days of free time. With no homework to complete and days to relax, here are some Netflix shows to watch.

1. "The Good Place"

Eleanor Shellstrop has been placed in "the good place" by mistake after death. She is determined to stay, and enlists Chidi, a moral philosophy professor, to teach her to be a good person. She also gets to know her neighbors Tahani, a British socialite who raised billions for charity, and Jianyu, a Taiwanese monk, who may not be what they seem initially.

2. "Once Upon A Time"

In Storybrook, Maine, every resident is a fairy tale character, and newcomer Emma has to break the curse on their town that stole their memories.

3. "Insatiable"

A former fat girl named Patty gets revenge on everyone who wronged her while competing in a beauty pageant.

4. "Elite"

If you've finished Gossip Girl and want something similar, this series is set at a Spanish private school- with a lot more murder!

5. "Gilmore Girls"

You've seen Gilmore Girls: A Day In the Life, now go back to where it all started! Young mother Lorelai has to convince her parents to pay for her daughter Rory's private school education, but they agree to do so only if they all have dinner together every week.

6. "On My Block"

A racially mixed group of friends enters high school together in a lower income area of Los Angeles.

7. "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"

Rebecca Bunch, a successful real estate lawyer in Manhattan, is dissatisfied with her life and decides to move to West Covina, California, the hometown of her ex-boyfriend from summer camp, Josh, after a run-in with him in New York.

8. "Dear White People"

We follow Samantha, who runs a college radio station called "Dear White People", and her fellow residents of the all-black Armstrong Parker House through their respective experiences at a predominantly white Ivy League university. Among them are Lionel, a shy reporter exploring his sexuality, Joelle, Sam's best friend who was valedictorian in high school and sick of being in her shadow, Reggie, who was unfairly targeted by campus police at a party, Troy, the dean's son and the campus playboy, and Coco, Sam's former best friend and student government head.

9. "Jessica Jones"

A private investigator with super strength tries to stop her also-superpowered former abuser, played by David Tennant, from ruining the life of NYU student Hope, and later uncovers just where her superpowers came from.

10. "Haters Back Off"

Miranda Sings rises to fame guided by her Uncle Jim's 5-Phase Plan. Colleen's real-life best friend Kory Desoto makes a cameo as a patron at a gay bar that Miranda ends up performing at, hilariously accompanied by Uncle Jim and her neighbor Patrick, who is infatuated with her.

11. "Life Sentence"

Stella, who has been living her life up until now believing she was going to die soon, learns from her doctor that she beat cancer and is actually going to live. However, she discovers that her family and boyfriend have been hiding secrets from her.

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.
