Binge Worthy Show

Do your ever scroll through Netflix or other streaming sites wondering what show to watch and end up watching one you've already watched a million times. We all have the one show that when nothing else seems good to watch or when you just want feel comfort. For me that show is The Vampire Diaries; I know what your probably thinking, just another girl who loves all the vampire stuff. However, I truly admire the production of the show, and each and every actor and actress did an amazing job portraying their character.

One of the various thing's that I personally love about The Vampire Diaries is that there is so much power and suspense to it. Throughout the show they emphasize on how important both family and friends are and especially how important it is to have them around and to lean on them during the difficult times. Despite all the drama and fictional story lines that goes on throughout the show there are some powerful messages and deep meanings within. For example, when character Stephen (Paul Wesley) says, "We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are." Personally, that is my favorite part about watching movies and shows to be able to sit and wait to hear deep and sometimes inspirational quotes. I think just about every film out there has at least one line or many more that can be taken into reality. Its the true beauty of being able to watch them in the down time we have. Not to just watch films because were bored or just want to occupy our free time but to be able to actually sit down and possibly learn new things and be able to hear things and think wow that is so true.

There you have it my fellow reader, my perspective on watching either movies or shows. Also a rundown on how I am indeed watching The Vampire Diaries for the millionth time again. However, my also personal deeper reasoning for why I believe it is truly a good thing to be able to sometime sit and being able to watch films because sometimes there is something valuable deep within that truly can be brought to a reality. For the next time you sit down and watch something remember what you read here and maybe just maybe try and find a quote or a line that hits you and allows you to have that wow moment.

Journey of Jaelynn

Today was the first day back at Ohio Northern University for spring semester. For me it will probably take me a few class days to get back in the swing of things as I took fall semester off and only had two online classes. However, I am very excited as I begin my time as a Marketing major. After I graduate from Ohio Northern I am hoping to put my Marketing degree in use in the Art field. Specifically in Art Galleries. Now personally I have no talent when it comes to drawing, painting, and generally all hands-on art that individuals can create. With that being said, even though I don't have that level of artistic ability I have always been drawn to it. To be able to look at certain pieces of art and try to find the true meaning behind each and every piece of artwork. When it comes to art, I love being able to hear how everyone's perspective on certain artworks. I find it beautiful how we all take in things differently and come up with differe...

Social Media's connection with Mental Health

Is there a connection between social media and mental health? The answer to that question is yes and as technology grows and social media platforms progress the more individuals are aware of the connection. On a personal level I have first-hand come to realize how social media can affect one's mental health. I remember when I first got on social media, I was constantly comparing myself to other females on the platform and wished that I could look like how they did. Then I was fixated on how many likes I got on each of my posts. Social media was destroying my mental health and self-esteem day in and day out. I would constantly look at my phone to see if I had any notifications from someone trying to follow me or liking one of my posts. However, I made changes and over the years since then I have made sure to take time away from social media by completely deleting my accounts and refocusing in on me when I started to feel the negative impact again.
