Five weeks of nothing but binge-watching TV shows.

Winter break is every college student's dream come true. Sleeping, adventure, (usually) no class work. It's the best time of the year. It's also Christmas and New Years, and the time for revolutions. Winter break is also a time to start and finish some binge-worthy TV shows. Here are my top _.

1. "Peaky Blinders"

A show starring Cillian Murphy (Batman Trilogy), Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park") and Tom Hardy ("Mad Max"). It's a Netflix Original series about a British gang trying to go legit and they have a long bumpy road that causes some major difficulty. It's a great show that reminds me of "Sons of Anarchy" with Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman, except they aren't motorcycle gangs and it's based entirely in Europe and it's in the 1920s.

2. "Luke Cage"

Who doesn't love attractive people with the heart of gold and who also happens to be invincible? Luke Cage is a great story about a man who was on the wrong side of the tracks but he was turned around and became a superhero, Wolverine style (because it was pretty much the same thing...).

3. "Jessica Jones"

Another Netflix Original about a super awesome heroine who kicks butt and solves crimes. She's a little rusty around the edges but she's great to watch!

4. "The Walking Dead"

If you're not already hooked on this show, please try it. Zombies, attractive people, survival. It has it all. The plot thickens and it's tastefully suspenseful. Netflix has the first six seasons and the seventh is airing now on AMC.

5. "Gotham"

Super (and not so super) heroes are in and I think I've made it clear how much I love them. The DC universe is expanded and given some light on the beginning of Gotham's worst criminals and the famed vigilante. This show also has attractive people doing awesome things (shooting guns, fighting with their fists, hero stuff). Netflix has seasons one and two and the third is airing now on Fox and streaming on Hulu.

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.
