6 Reasons To Watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
The Huffington Post

There's no doubt that Netflix has produced its number of raving original series. For example, the hilarious "Grace and Frankie," or fascinatingly addicting "Orange is the New Black." But along comes "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" to change the game. The series that was written by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock is making waves with its thought-provoking humor and hilariously "punny" wit. There are a number of reasons that Netflix watchers should enjoy this series, but here are just six of those reasons.

1. Accepting relationships.

The second season features Titus, roommate and friend of Kimmy, in an openly homosexual relationship. It's nice to know that seeing gays on screen is not as taboo as in previous years.

2. It's all about feminine strength.

Kimmy Schmidt was stuck in an underground bunker cult for 15 years. I mean, you kind of have to be strong to make it through that.

3. It's okay to be a little weird.

This show is full of people who have their little quirks, but ultimately, they're all just people trying to make it in this crazy thing we call life.

4. It's okay to be a strong, confident woman.

Lillian is the embodiment of being a strong woman. She lives alone after shooting her husband by accident and is completely in love with life.

5. It teaches the value of family.

Kimmy, who never had a mother, and was abandoned after going into the bunker, doesn't know a lot about family. But she learns by finding a new family of her own.

6. It teaches the importance of staying true to who you are.

This show emphasizes the importance of knowing who you are and being able to love that person. It definitely makes sure that the message of strong women is portrayed.

All in all, "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is such a stellar show with fantastic writing. This show shines through with it's ability to make any audience smile. It makes proud political and moral statements on feminism, sexism, gender wage gap, and self-discovery. Give it a watch, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

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.
