Trust me, I'm into the fad of watching famous people make fools of themselves on TV.

I get a real kick out of seeing celebrities cry about losing an earring that could pay for my college tuition and then some. But nothing beats sitting back and watching shows as old (if not older) than me.

1. "Golden Girls"

A dumb blonde, a sassy mother, a sexual vixen, and a sophisticated teacher all over the age of 50. What more could you ask for? With "Golden Girls", you got all that, plus more laughs than you can handle, stories about a town that doesn't exist (but you start to believe does), and more knowledge about "Sicily, 1922" than you could get in ten years' worth of history classes.

2. "Murder, She Wrote"

No matter where Jessica Fletcher went, she always managed to be around when a murder occurred. And she would solve it. This mystery writer/mystery solver is what first showed me the thrill of figuring out if it really was Colonel Mustard who killed Mrs. Peacock in the library with a candlestick.

3. "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman"

A kick-butt woman doctor in the old American West who really didn't need a man to survive? Sign me up to be the next her. Intelligent, independent, and took no crap from anyone, Michaela Quinn was what all women should want to be. (And no, not just because I was named after her, either.)

4. "Diagnosis Murder"

There is just something about the Van Dyke men... And this show just added to it. A doctor who just so happens to work with his cop son to solve murders: What could be better? Plus, the whole "gang" just made the show that much more addicting.

5. "Full House"

As if Uncle Jesse wasn't enough to make you watch this show, the love this wacko family had for one another did it. I know my dad would go crazy raising one girl, but Dan Tanner raised three with the help of his two crazy best friends. The overly-animated friends they made and the style made this show a 10/10, would recommend.

6. "Walker, Texas Ranger"

Who doesn't love Chuck Norris? And Chuck Norris as the law in Texas... Hot dog, I'm packing my bags and headed there now.

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.
