How Family Feud and Steve Harvey Have Changed My Life

The effects the greatest game show of all time can have on a person

How Family Feud and Steve Harvey Have Changed My Life

There is only one thing that I look forward to seeing every day, and that is Steve Harvey on Family Feud. I have been watching Family Feud for four years at this point, but I have watched more than two hundred episodes in that time. Many more episodes are saved on my DVR at the moment.

Some people might call it an obsession. Those people have never watched Family Feud. Those people don't know the power, charisma and charm of the show's host, Steve Harvey.

Steve Harvey is the greatest thing about the show. He may also be the greatest thing about the planet as well. He's so funny that I have thrown up a couple of times mid-feud. I wish that I could grow a mustache like that. If I could meet him right now, I would ask him whether he dyes it or not. I have a running theory that he does because there is no way there could be something as perfect as that. I have modeled my own look after him, but, again, I can't grow a mustache so I just have a completely hairless head and wear a suit every place I go. I also fake my mustache by using some shoe polish instead. My head might be cold at times, but it is well worth it to be like Steve Harvey

Along with introducing me to possibly the greatest human being to ever live, Family Feud has caused me to readjust my thinking. Many people consider Jeopardy to be the thinking man's game show. These people have also not seen Family Feud. Family Feud requires people to think deeply, not only about the objective but the subjective. To get the answers on Family Feud, you need to think like the person taking the survey. What would they say to "Name something a woman pretends to like when trying to catch a man," or "On a scale of one to ten how attractive are you?" You can't just think about what you would think, but what other people would think, too. What would you say if you were a person that actually had a job or a parent? I feel that I know a lot more about psychology now after watching Family Feud because it is truly a look at the unconscious mind of humans. Freud would have had a field day with the Feud.

Watching Family Feud has made me closer to my family. Seeing those families up there reminds me that I have grandmas, grandpas, uncles, aunts and cousins too. Occasionally, I am so moved by the crazy answer that some grandpa gives that I call my own.

Overall, Family Feud has improved my life as well as the lives of many other people too. I'm sure.

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.
