After watching Netflix’s new show “Emily in Paris,” I feel like changing my entire career path, learning French and moving to Paris.

If you are anything like me, you rejoiced when you saw on Aug. 31, Netflix added the fifth season “The Great British Baking Show” to its lineup. I have just recently completed the rollercoaster of emotions called season 5 (or collection 5 if you’re pretentious) and have mixed emotions, both about the season and the

The MTV Video Music Awards died of irrelevance Monday night, officials of the University of Common Sense said.
