There's nothing like lying in bed all day Saturday watching Netflix and feeling your brain turn to mush. It's relaxing, therapeutic and a weekly necessity in college life; so the next time you're about to go on a Gossip Girl, Gotham, Jessica Jones, orSkins bender, remember these tip to make the most out of the time you've got.

1. Have snacks handy.

There is literally nothing worse than having to pause your show to get a snack, or a drink. Keep them on hand and near you so that all it takes for some gummy worse, or some peanut butter is a simple adjustment of the sheets.

2. Plan for it.

While I am a firm advocate for spur of the moment Netflix days, build one into the week so that you don't beat yourself up or feel like a garbage person for eating all the left over halloween candy, or literally not leaving the bed.

3. Turn your phone off.

Or at least on silent. Get away from everyone and just let your brain melt. I know that sounds weird, but sometimes, you just need to be a vegetable.

4. Cancel all plans—or at least move them around.

If you've decided to spend the morning in bed watching Netflix, you and I both know that you're not going to get up at 4 p.m. to go do some random thing with people who aren't as cool as Netflix.

5. For every bathroom break you take, stretch.

Trust me, this one is a life saver. Your butt will thank you later.

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.
