10 British Shows Which Perfectly Rival American Shows
Wikia

1. Made in Chelsea vs Keeping Up With the Kardashians

Both about the rich elite in big cities of the world, these two shows are comparable in the reality studies of the ridiculous luxury of the most wealthy families in the world.

2. Geordie Shore vs Jersey Shore

If you liked Jersey Shore, and are missing getting to know a gang of delinquents, head on over to Geordie Shore, where young Englishfolk try to be just as trashy and just as entertaining.

3. The Inbetweeners (British original version) vs The Inbetweeners USA

If you watched the Inbetweeners USA and liked it, I'm judging you, and if you didn't, go and watch the original English version which contains all the attitude needed for the dry jokes that the script of this British treasure demands.

4. Skins vs 90210

Drama, drugs, and death. Skins is the unwashed and less sunkissed version of 90210. You will be hooked by the second episode, and will be a slave to the show for an entire 7 seasons, so go start that binge-watch.

5. Luther vs Dexter

Luther is more human than Dexter - still a pretty messed up guy, but definitely more relatable. He solves crime while being pretty immoral himself.

6. Game of Thrones vs unjustifiable comparisons

I'm not going to even try comparing Game of Thrones to anything.

7. Peaky Blinders vs Sons of Anarchy

Not set in the same time, but the violence of Sons of Anarchy is paralleled by that in Peaky Blinders. It's a period drama, and FYI, you Americans may need some subtitles to understand those sexy accents.

8. This is England vs That 70's Show

VASTLY different shows, but set in a similar time period, which goes to show the British teenage angst in all its glory compared with the happy-go-lucky attitude of America.

9. The Jeremy Kyle Show vs Dr Phill

A similar show, with paler faces, and horrible teeth. Great late night entertainment for the whole family.

10. Misfits vs Smallville

Two shows full of magic and superheroes, but Misfits is a little more rough-and-ready, including more sex, more laughs, and a more addictive nature.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

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.
