'Drunk History' Is Everything That's Been Missing From Your Life
Comedy Central

Have you ever found yourself wishing there was a television show where liquored-up comedians recount some of the most important events in United States history? Your wish has been granted. “Drunk History” is a Comedy Central program where such things happen, and these stories are even accompanied by a re-enactment, featuring an assortment of guest stars that you may recognize. These have included Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Ryan Gosling, Zooey Deschanel, Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele (of “Key & Peele” fame), and Charlie Day (of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”). It’s difficult to put in words just how hilarious this combination of intoxication and sobriety can be, so here are a couple clips to show you what I mean:

The show itself is the brainchild of comedian Derek Waters, who I’m almost certain you’ve never heard of before. Nevertheless, the show is brilliant and is never at a shortage for material. Most of the stories that are covered are ones that may have been overlooked by your history textbooks, so you will also learn some things you didn’t know before. In general, each episode will focus on the history of one particular city, so yours might be featured! As of right now, the show isn’t available on Netflix, but you can find it on Hulu Plus if you have an account (a free trial is available). If you know your cable provider information, you can watch full episodes on the Comedy Central website. Or, if you’re more old-fashioned, you can watch it on Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. EST on Comedy Central. It is currently in its third season, so try not to binge too hard.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
