February Update: Movies, Tv series & Horoscopes

Hey guys,

Since the last update, I've started watching (and finished) the Netflix series "13 Reasons Why", Atypical and The End Of The F***ing World. They were all pretty good.
I'm the type of person who waits to start watching a series until it has ended because I hate waiting for new episodes and seasons to come out. I prefer to watch series in one go, so I don't forget what has happened in the previous season and therefore won't have to go back and rewatch some episodes or even start watching the whole series from the start again.
Though, there are exceptions with series that I just can't wait to watch.

I recently watched the movie Carrie Pilby. It is a very good movie and kinda relatable - not in the sense of having experienced the same things as Carrie (the lead role) but in not having figured out what one wants to do with one´s life.
The movie is about a 19-year-old lonely girl, named Carrie Pilby, who lives alone in her New York-apartment. She is very intelligent and has skipped several grades and went to Harvard University at 14 years-old. After graduating at 18 years old, and spending a one year break, her therapist (and friend of the family) wants her to get more out of her apartment.
The movie, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Caren Lissner, was released in 2017 and stars Bel Powley as Carrie Pilby.
After watching the movie (now several times), I might even read the book because I think it is so good!

Another thing that I've been really into lately has been horoscopes. I don't believe that being born at a specific time contributes to who we are as people, but I do find it fun to read horoscopes even though I really don't believe in them.
Sometimes I feel like some horoscopes describe me very well and other times they don't, but I just can't help myself reading them anyway.
Last month, I saw a youtube video about how 2018 would affect Sagittarius (my zodiac sign), and I decided to "test the waters" and let the horoscope lead me through this year - and I guess we'll find out if the horoscope will be right about anything by the end of the year.
I'll link the video for the ones of you that want to check your horoscopes as well.

Also, I just don't believe that your name, looks and blood type have something to do with who you are as a person?! How crazy is it to think like that? I mean, I do believe that those factors (maybe not the blood type one) have something to do with how people treat one another, but it is not like we have to treat a person named Bob a certain way just because his name is Bob and he has a round face.

Thanks for reading and I hope I'll see you next time!
