5 Reasons You Should Be Watching "This Is Us"
Tegla

Today someone asked me what my favorite show is and without a thought, I answered, "This Is Us." It is hands down the best tv show and here's why...

1. The storyline is so well thought out.

Every episode a new piece of the story unfolds in the most thought out way. It leaves you wondering every week just how they did it.

2. Every episode gives you the feels.

Raw emotion is what the show is about. As long as you have a heart you are likely to cry at every episode but it won't turn you away, it just makes you want to know more. Not only will you cry but you will fall in love with the characters and the whole show in general.

3. It's a family show.

Everyone over the age of 12 is most likely to love this show. It is a great show to sit and watch as a family and it really makes you realize how important family is. It brings up complex, but real world situations that are important in families.

4. The show depicts that every family is unique and that no type of family is the right family.

The show is not about a white picket house family. William has a male partner, the main characters are triplets who are not all the same race, and so many other examples. The show depicts real world families today and does a great job showing that no family is the wrong kind of family.

5. Everyone who watches has at least one character who they can personally relate to.

There are so many characters in "This Is Us" that every person who watches can connect to one member in the show for one reason or another. The same goes for situations. Everyone has gone through something rough in their life. The show does a great job accurately depicting sickness, death, weight loss, jobs, and so many other things that affect people's everyday life.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
