This Fall's Hit TV Show: The Good Place

Out of all the new TV shows this year, here's why I recommend this one!

This Fall's Hit TV Show: The Good Place
NBC

While there are many new and returning television shows coming to both basic and cable channels alike, one new show seems to stand above all the rest. The show is The Good Place on NBC which stars Kristen Bell and Ted Danson and was created by Mike Schur who has created belly-laugh shows such as The Office, Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The premise of the show is a simple one, Eleanor (Kristen Bell) is dead and she has ended up in the "good place." She is assigned a partner in this journey, is able to fly, and enjoy all the perks of the good place.

There is just one catch though...

Eleanor isn't a saint.

Due to a mix up, Eleanor's name was placed onto a life that deserves to be in the good place, but Eleanor's does not. Eleanor is a sinner in a saints world who loves to curse, drink, and be snarky. This of course does not fly in the good place where cursing is not allowed and everyone is nice to everyone. In my opinion, this will most likely will be the place that The Good Place soars considering the tongue-and-cheek writing that Mike Schur is know for combined with the snarkyness that Kristen Bell has possessed since her first television appearance in Veronica Mars, this will most likely be the strongest part of the show. However, Kristen Bell is also know for characters with a tough exterior but with a soft interior so it will be interesting to see how her character develops due to those around her but also how those around her will be influenced by Eleanor.

This is definitely a show to look out for among many hits and newcomers. Knowing the previous projects of those involved in the show, I guarantee that the show will be humorous, heart-warming and touching while delivering original material that no other show has truly covered previously. It is a must-watch on my radar, or at the mininum a must-record!

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.
