7 Reasons Why I Love 'Big Brother'
cbs.com

Summer is everyone's favorite time of year. Vacations, warm weather and most importantly no school. Summer also means that Big Brother comes back on. Big brother is a reality-TV show where contestants compete against each other for $500,000! The catch? They are all in a house together for three months with televisions and microphones catching their every move. House-guests compete each week for the power of the house to nominate two people for eviction. It's a highly addicting show if you ask me. It's been around since 2000 and my family and I have probably been watching it since then. Here are seven reasons why I love Big Brother:

1)The Competitions

House-guests have to participate in a few competitions between H.O.H(Head of Household) P.O.V.(Power of Veto which can take someone of the block) and other competitions to seal safety for the week. The competitions are so intense but fun to watch.


2)The Evictions

Each week two house-guests are put up for eviction. Later on in the season they even sometimes do a double eviction. It's sad watching my favorite house-guest leave. But such a relief when the one I don't like gets a unanimous vote.

3)The Live Twitter Feeds

I recently came across a few Big Brother Twitter pages. @BigBrotherLeak and @CBSBigBrother When the show isn't on the page is filled with juicy gossip of what is going on in the Big Brother house!

4) When They Bring Back Old House Guests

As I said earlier my family has been watching Big Brother since the very beginning. My favorite thing is when they bring back house-guests from past seasons. Sometimes they'll have them host a competition or even play in the game! There isn't much better than drama from bringing back the ghosts of Big Brother's past.

5) The Alliance

Every season there are alliances that work and there are alliances that just completely fail. People join multiple alliances so they can play both sides of the house. But sometimes people don't even have alliances and they're call floaters.

6) The Diary Room

The Big Brother House has something called the Diary Room. This is where house-guests can talk about the other house-guests they don't like or reflect on the competition they just played in. Sometimes house-guests come to cry because they miss home.

7) Expect The Unexpected

Big Brother's motto is 'Expect the Unexpected' Literally anything can happen in the house so be prepared for anything. There has been a twin twist, America's player and this season they have changed the game to playing in teams! There's always something new happening each week.

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.
