Clearly emphasizing the disturbing factor, American Horror Story throws its audience into a whirlwind of eerie chills and alluring surprises. Instantly capturing your attention, Ryan Murphy tests the boundaries of terrifying, leaving people with the strange urge to continue watching. His tantalizing plots and risky scenes led to the creation of 5 seasons, each revealing a different tale that seems to haunt our nightmares. Now American Horror Story (AHS), will reveal its 6th season after a string of enticing teaser trailers that have fans craving for more. Before diving into the mystery, what do the other seasons have to offer?

The Haunted House.

Perfect, let's kick off a horror show with a theme no other than the classic haunted house! Often referred to as the "Murder House," AMS portrays a distressed family seeking a fresh start by moving into a deceiving cozy home haunted by the many entities who've been murdered in the house. Ironic, right? Immediately it begins to turn south and the secrets unravel: a doctor's baby kidnapped and killed, a maid murdered by a crime of passion, and an intriguing Evan Peters with a hidden past.

Insane Asylum.

It's crazy, literally! In all honesty, AHS definitely showed their twisted thought process- I don't know how I made it through. Focusing on the various patients with their own little crazy story, the season also implements classic urban legends such as an alien abduction and strange experimentation. However, the plot surrounds a ravenous serial killer assumed to be caught-- until time proves otherwise.

Witch's Coven.

Please don't automatically picture a cackling witch with a nasty wart protruding from her nose and stirring the slime oozing from her cauldron. Witch's Coven is amazing from the moment it begins to the heart-stopping ending! Intertwining unique story lines related to voodoo, mysterious magic, and slavery, the characters deliver an excellence performance dripping with detail. Battling to unveil extraordinary magic, a coven a witches clearly find their darker sides.

The Freak Show.

Every circus has its mix of carnies, the bearded woman, conjoined twins, and strongest man in the world. Well, the Freak Show welcomes any and all that seem to have their own disturbing baggage dragging along behind their feet. When a group of children is kidnapped by a creepy clown, an undesirable light begins to shed on the Freak Show. As serial killings spree, Murphy divulges the sinister thoughts of a psychopath.

Hotel.

When you visit, there's the classic front desk bell, shimmering chandeliers, and a mint waiting on the pillow. Obviously, appearances can be deceiving. Haunted by a murderous millionaire and dominated by a stunning vampire, the Hotel's staff maintains its patrons secrets and housekeeping always has the mess cleaned by morning. Isn't that comforting? While some guests seem to never leave, others can't wait to escape.

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.
