A Brief Review Of Fall's New TV Shows
It's Just About Write

One of my favorite parts about fall is seeing which new shows are debuting and whether or not they are worth watching. This fall has had quite a few shows premiering already, with some later premieres in mid October and November. Here is a round-up of some of the shows that have premiered, and my personal thoughts.

1. "Quantico"

This show was at the top of my list since I saw the preview. The first episode certainly lived up to the hype. It centers on Alex Parrish, an FBI trainee at Quantico, and her relationships with fellow trainees. The show jumps between the present, when they are at Quantico, and the future, where a terror attack occurred at Grand Central Station. The twist is that Alex is being framed for the attack and it's up to her to figure out which of her fellow classmates is responsible. Quantico airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

2. "Life In Pieces"

Focused on a multi-generational family, this show has plenty of humor, but also many heartwarming moments. It feels almost like a blend of "Modern Family" and "Parenthood." With actors like James Brolin and Colin Hanks, this show won't disappoint you. "Life in Pieces" airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. on CBS.

3. "Blindspot"

This one has an interesting premise. Jane wakes up in Times Square with no memory, and her entire body is covered in tattoos that turn out to be clues. She works closely with the FBI and helps them solve crimes, as she finds out more about why this happened to her. I liked the pilot, but we'll have to see where it goes. It could either be heading in a great direction, or fall flat as many "exciting" shows in the past have. "Blindspot" airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC.

4. "The Muppets"

"The Muppets" was likely part of your childhood, but no worries - now it can be a part of your adulthood! The show has received critical response, since it is neither fully appropriate for young children, nor is fully geared towards adults. It's worth a watch for the celebrity guests such as Kerry Washington and Josh Groban. "The Muppets" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

5. "Scream Queens"

One of Ryan Murphy's creations, it is a humor-horror. The focus is on a person dressed in a red devil costume murdering a group of sorority girls and, by the end of the season, nearly everyone will be killed off. I didn't hate the first episode (it was technically two episodes) but by the third episode, I was over it. Give it a shot, but it is so overly dramatized, it's annoying. "Scream Queens" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.

6. "Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris"

I loved this show when I saw it premiere! It is certainly bold, surprising and will leave you asking, "how is he able to do this on live television?" I think the fact that it is filmed live adds more excitement and having a different celebrity each week as the announcer is fun, too. The best way to describe it is as a variety show - a balance of a talk show, reality show, and "America's Got Talent." "Best Time Ever" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.

7. "Limitless"

Based on the fairly popular movie of the same name starring Bradley Cooper, the companion show has received a good response from critics. Jake McDorman stars as Brian Finch, who receives a drug that gives him 100 percent access of his brain. As a result, he becomes very useful in solving crimes. Bonus: In the pilot episode, when they flash back to his youth, one of his professors has a clipboard that says, "Ramapo College!" "Limitless" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on CBS.

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.
