'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' Missed The Mark With Its Season Finale

Netflix has finally released the final season of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." This season is different from the other seasons due to its extremely obvious social commentary. The show tackles topics pertinent to today's issues from the Me Too Movement to social media data mining. Be warned, there are spoilers ahead!

In the previous season, Titus auditions for a part in a "Sesame Street" parody where he's sexually harassed by a puppet. The puppet was an obvious allusion to Harvey Weinstein as it alludes to all the heinous acts he's committed to aspiring actresses. Titus fears coming out to the public about the ordeal since the director is able to ruin his life due to his connections similar to Weinstein. I thought that this part of the season was a good addition to the show, but it seemed to be blown off. It was a big deal for a few minutes, but then it never really gets resolved. That might be because the issue is still prominent, but as a comedy, it seemed a bit dark.

Another big joke of the season was at the cost of millennials. It was honestly cringy to what extent they went to to make fun of the generation that's probably watching the show. The show portrayed millennials as snobby, over-sensitive kids. One of the plots of the episode was that millennial males are dating older females since they are less likely to be offended by flirting. This was a complete miss for me as it wasn't funny and didn't really add to the plot. Another subplot was about the daughter who was spoiled since she never took responsibility for her actions. It felt like the show was trying too hard to be relatable to the younger demographic, but they completely missed the mark.

Although the season ended with a happy note, I didn't really enjoy most of it. I almost stopped watching after the second episode, but I continued since I just wanted to finish what I started.

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.
