Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer are conquering the world of comedy and television with their unique and hilarious take on what it's like to try and make it in the world, post college. With two successful seasons already under their belts, this comedic duo is heading into their third season (and have already been renewed for two more seasons!) to continue their reign as the awesome comedy queens that they are.

1. Abbi and Ilana started the show as a web series, and have worked their butts off from day one.

2. The show is a scripted version of Abbi and Ilana's real lives.

Everything you see is more or less true to who they really are.

3. The show, and Abbi and Ilana, are your favorites' favorites.

Amy Poehler is a producer of the show, and other celebrities have taken notice of this comedic duo. Whether it's universal favorites like Seth Rogen, Lady Gaga and so many more, the love for Abbi and Ilana knows no boundaries. Rumor has it that even Hillary Clinton is making an appearance in season three!

4. Abbi and Ilana are friendship goals.

They epitomize the "ride or die" BFF friendship.

5. Feminism.

Men, don't let this word scare you away. Abbi and Ilana are here to empower their fellow women, while also promoting equal rights for everyone, no matter what gender, race or sexuality someone identifies with.

6. The show understands what it's like to be an emerging adult.

7. If you're wondering what life will be like right after college, then this is the show you'll want to turn to.

8. Abbi and Ilana get themselves into situations everyone has faced. They happen to take those situations and put a clever comedic spin on them.

Ever been short on money when something important to you was coming up? So have Abbi and Ilana. When trying to make some fast cash to pay for Lil Wayne concert tickets, Abbi and Ilana go through desperate measures to get the cash... Like cleaning an apartment in their underwear for a man who thinks he's a baby, played by Fred Armisen.

9. You'll learn that it's good to get out of your comfort zone.

Like when Abbi finally gets to be with her longtime crush, Jeremy, but Jeremy comes with a few "different" requests...

10. Abbi and Ilana teach you it's okay to unapologetically be yourself.

Whether you're like Abbi and want to dance around naked to Lady Gaga's "Edge Of Glory," or you want to try something different and model nude, like Ilana, you shouldn't be afraid to let your freak flag fly!

11. The dating struggle is so damn real.

12. They understand the importance of going green.

And the importance of appreciating Rihanna.

13. No matter what trouble Abbi and Ilana get themselves into, they always see the cup as half full.

14. As much as you think you know about your best friend, Abbi and Ilana show you that there's always more to find out.

Like how Abbi turns into her Jazz singer alter-ego, Val, when she's blackout drunk, and how Ilana is deathly allergic to shellfish.

15. Every episode teaches you that no matter what, friendship is always the most important thing.

You don't need a lot of okay friends to be happy—just one great friend to always be by your side.

16. Lastly, the show just understands every day occurrences, and every important emotion and thought you feel throughout your daily life.

Forever questioning why we're some place we feel we shouldn't be, and forever freaking out when we see dogs in public.

17. Also, this:

Never gets old.

So what are you waiting for?! If you haven't already, watch seasons one and two ASAP. You can catch season three of Broad City February 17th, on Comedy Central. You're not going to want to miss it!

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.
