The 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards aired this past Sunday, Sept. 16, and was full of surprises. Here are some highlights from the night celebrating achievements in television.


1. Glenn Weiss proposed to his girlfriend.

Director Glenn Weiss surprised the audience and viewers when he proposed to his long-time girlfriend, chief creative officer at Charity network, Jan Svendsen after receiving his award.


2. Alex Borstein goes braless and works it.

Alex Borstein, who won an award for supporting actress in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," shed part of her dress when getting to receive it. She shimmied her way up there and felt no shame in not wearing a bra with her outfit.


3. "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" wins, Rachel Brosnahan's encourages others to vote.

Star of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Rachel Brosnahan received the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and the show itself won other awards as well, but when giving her acceptance speech, Brosnahan encouraged others to vote because the show is about a woman starting fresh and a new life, and so can others. She made a point that your voices matter, and you can make a difference.


4. Michael Che's reparation Emmy Awards.

Michael Che of SNL, hosted this year's Emmys. A topic of the night was inclusion, and how minorities have not been included as much in previous Emmys. He handed out "reparation Emmys," to actors and actresses in a sketch.


5. Henry Winkler finally wins an Emmy.

Formerly known as The Fonz, on "Happy Days," Winkler finally received an Emmy for his role as Gene Cousineau on HBO's comedy "Barry." He was truly beaming when he got up on stage to receive his award.


This year's Emmys was full of fun and surprises, and tackling topics that need to be mentioned. I cannot wait to see what next year brings.

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.
