Watching "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" And Being From Philadelphia
Den of Geek

Everyone is always seeking some kind of approval. Either from people we care about or through the world of the media. That's why it's exciting when a movie or TV show is placed in the area you live.

It's like finally getting some recognition you never thought or knew you were entitled to. It's almost like you're famous, since your town is. You feel as if you might catch a glimpse of yourself in the background. It's just exciting.

This is why "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is one of my favorite shows. Not only because of the snide humor or the shenanigans the gang gets into, but because I get to see landmarks and places I grew up seeing and still go to on my TV screen. Something about it makes it more magical. So, if you're from Philadelphia too, you might want to check out this show and share in some of these little excitements.

1. Recognizing exactly where the scene is being held

From Penn's landing to LOVE park and even Citizen's Bank Park, you can pinpoint exactly where they're filming.

2. Catching small Philadelphia jokes that you'd only understand if you're from Philly

Philadelphians have a certain sense of humor that relates to city life, and you just have to be there to get the joke.

3. Saying "That's so true!" at least five times during an episode

Between talking about SEPTA, the Jersey shore, the Liberty Bell and even Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphians can identify with almost every aspect of the show.

3. Knowing the exact struggles the gang faces

There are more struggles than you would think.

4. Being proud everything is pronounced correctly, like Schuylkill

If you can't say it, please don't attempt to. It hurts our ears.

5. Being able to laugh about horrible things because the cast's portrayal of Philly culture is so accurate

You have to laugh about the horrible things because there's nothing else to laugh about.

6. Thinking about finally getting home so you can re-watch all the episodes on Netflix

Or go to Paddy's Pub and watch it there!

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.
