A Letter to my Netflix Account

To my Netflix account, You and I have been together for a few years now. I’ll admit that at first I was slightly timid towards you because I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but now you are one of the most important things in my life. I still remember how we met. It all started out when my brother signed up for a free trial. Then after a while I realized that I needed more of you in my life.

The 10 Stages of Finding the Perfect Halloween Costume

Looking for the perfect Halloween costume is one of the biggest struggles out there. There are so many ideas out there that picking just one, let alone the perfect one, is a process that takes some time and effort. Not to mention creativity and a few trial and errors. 10.
