If you haven't heard of comedian John Mulaney, then your life is a sore disappointment.

Okay, not really, but he really is a fantastic comedian and human being, so here are the seven best things about John Mulaney, just in case you're not totally convinced.


1. He has a Tumblr all about his current Broadway gig, his wife and his dog. He likes to keep his fans close!

2. He attended Georgetown University as an English literature major and performed in an improv comedy group on campus as a freshman.

3. He is responsible for the famous Saturday Night Live character of Stefon (played by Bill Hader), which gave him some major recognition for his incredibly witty comedy writing.

4. He has incredibly successful stand-up comedy specials, including "The Top Part," "New in Town" and "The Comeback Kid" ("New in Town" and "The Comeback Kid" can be found on Netflix, and it highly advised that you watch them if you haven't already).

5. He and his wife (Annamarie Tendler) are proud parents an adorable french bulldog named Petunia.

6. He wrote a show with his friend and fellow comedian Nick Kroll and they got it on Broadway for a limited engagement, which is a major feat for the exposure of stand-up comedy.

7. He is a genuinely kind, relatable guy who has an acute understanding of comedy and his audiences.

Tickets for "Oh, Hello on Broadway" at the Lyceum Theatre can be found at Broadway.com, running now until January 22nd, 2017.

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.

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.
