In times of stress and uncertainty, I always turn to television and movies to give me a sense of comfort and normalcy. So, here are the shows and movies I've been watching in quarantine.

Outer Banks- This show has something for everyone. It's a murder-mystery/steamy romance/class struggle all rolled into one. The show came out on Netflix on April 15, and the hype isn't slowing down.

Never Have I Ever- I was a little nervous to watch this show, as I try to stay away from overly-awkward situations. However, this show was so damn funny that I will probably watch it again. If you need a heartwarming story that is also hilarious, this show is for you.

Stranger Things- I watched Stranger Things for the third time in quarantine. While this show hasn't come out with any new content since July 2019, the show pulls you in and makes you forget about your own life for a while.

Scoob!- I watched a lot of Scooby Doo movies, so when I heard they were releasing a new one, I was a little skeptical. My family rented the movie on demand, and let me tell you: it's a tearjerker. I recommend watching this for the childhood nostalgia and the belly laughs that come with Scooby and Shaggy's shenanigans.

The Goldbergs- The tales of this suburban Jewish family in the '80s are perfect for when you need something funny and feel-good. Beverly Goldberg's motherly meddling are perfect for when you can't stand to watch anything sad.

Dirty Dancing- This movie is by no means new, but the 80s nostalgia coupled with a picturesque summer retreat make this one of my favorite rainy-day movies.

Tangled- I recently watched this movie for the first time in probably five years, and I forgot how good it is! The music (composed by Alan Menken) is beautiful and catchy. I think everyone can relate to Rapunzel a little too well right now.

High School Musical the Musical the Series- I was reluctant to watch this show because I thought it was going to be a remake of the original High School Musical movies. I was pleasantly surprised to find how funny this rockumentary is.

I'm sure I have watched much more than what is on this list, but these were my personal favorites. Aside from a few serious or awkward moments, these shows and movies are perfect for when the quarantine feels get you down.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

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.
