BoJack Horseman is a Netflix original adult cartoon about a universe where animals and humans live among each other. The main character, BoJack, is a middle-aged horse and washed up alcoholic depressive 80s sitcom actor trying to find his purpose in life again. His quirky roommate Todd, his ghost writer Diane, his dog frienemy Mr. PeanutButter and his cat agent and ex-girlfriend Princess Carolyn all try to help him to the best of their abilities. At first, this cartoon seems like something you would find on Adult Swim or Comedy Central but it is so much more than meets the eye and here are ten reasons why you should start binge watching it.

1. The animal puns

They're everywhere.



2. All the guest stars

Stephan Colbert, Daniel Radcliffe have played characters and Margo Martindale is a recurring character playing herself throughout all the seasons.


3. It talks about current issues

In one episode, the debate of how moral abortion is the running theme of the episode. It is both funny and well done.


4. Todd is the best character ever

He tries his best to be a good friend to Bojack, but he isn't perfect and makes mistakes. He's hilarious and the bromance between him and Mr.PeanutButter is total goals. Throughout the series, you get to see some major character development as well. Everyone needs a friend like Todd.



5. It makes fun of celebrity culture

Throughout the series, it pokes fun at celebrities and how they live. Like in season one, Andrew Garfield is the butt end of a lot of jokes. There's a character called "A Ryan Seacrest Type" which is basically an above average looking guy who happens to be on TV. It also brings in the fact that some celebrities lives turn for the worst, not only is BoJack's life is falling apart, so is his co-star and child actress Sarah Lynn does as well as she battles her drug addictions.



7. It's unlike any other adult cartoon

Unlike South Park or Family Guy, Bojack Horseman has a continuous storyline. The story can't be started and finished withing a twenty minute period, something that Bojack says in one episode that upsets Diane will affect the rest of the season. It continues a solid story line and doesn't leave anything behind.



8. It's relatable

Even though some of these characters aren't human, they reflect real emotions and struggles that everyday people go through.

9. It's very easily rewatchable

Rewatch it so you can catch all the hidden animal puns, and developments you missed the first time you watched it. It'll make you appreciate the show more.

10. The way this show depicts depression is amazing.

This show is both hilarious and sad. BoJack is in denial with depression and he tries to fill his void with alcohol, drugs, toxic lovers, and even an Oscar nomination and yet he can't seem to shake the whole in his heart. His friends try to help him, but conflict arises because BoJack is actually a terrible friend and manipulates those he cares about. It really gives the viewer what depression is like, and it doesn't sugar coat it. If you haven't started watching it, I suggest you do. It's a great show and I'm not just horsin' around.

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.

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.

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.
