Haters Back Off (Seriously)!

An honest review of Miranda Sings's newest endeavor

Haters Back Off (Seriously)!
Pop Sugar

Most of you have probably heard about YouTube sensation’s Miranda Sings’s show “Haters Back Off!” which aired early October of this year on Netflix. This show is about Colleen Ballinger’s fictional character, Miranda Sings, and her life and journey in wanting to become a famous singer. This pilot season explained Miranda’s home life and introduced us to some of the crazy things she does and thinks.

Out of curiosity and boredom I watched the first episode. It was weird, so I had to keep watching. I knew it was bound to be kind of weird because Miranda is strange in general. But the show was a different kind of weird. The story wasn’t as funny as I thought. Actually, it had some really deep plot lines and the characters were very three-dimensional (in the sense that there was a lot going on in their lives). Her mother, for example, is a hypochondriac and wears a wrist brace even though she doesn’t need one. Miranda’s sister feels neglected and alone in the family because Miranda overshadows her. And if you read really far into the characters, Miranda has some deep seeded problems as well.

The thing I really liked about this show was – of course – Miranda. Her character makes you laugh, then she makes you angry, and then you feel bad for her. She’s the embodiment of what we are always thinking, but never have the guts to say. What I like to describe her as is the pro-antagonist. Sometimes you hate her, and sometimes you love her. But in the end, you will always love her.

In one sitting, I watched eight episodes. The next night, I finished the last two. I can honestly say that as weird this show is, it’s amazing. I couldn’t stop watching it and was so sad to hear that if there is going to be a next season, it isn’t airing until October of 2017 most likely. If you have the time, I would definitely give this show a watch.

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.
