Have you ever thought what it would be like to marry a total stranger? Have you ever considered the fact that you could perhaps find true love in doing so? FYI has an extremely controversial social experimental show that follows six brave singles yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree to get legally married to a complete stranger the moment they first meet. After extensive interviews, questionnaires and house visits, three experts create what they believe are three perfect couples, based on scientific match-making. The couples will not meet until they walk down the aisle and see each other face-to-face, for the first time, at the altar. Over the course of several weeks, episodes capture each couple’s journey as they go from wedding, to honeymoon, to early nesting, to the daily struggle of working on their marriage. After six weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together or decide to divorce?

The show "Married At First Sight" is one of my favorite shows. My family and I have watched it from the very beginning and I can see honestly say there is never a dull moment. I highly recommend the reality TV show to any hopeless romantics, anyone looking for a show that questions societal norms and to viewers who enjoy watching shows like "Say Yes To The Dress" and "The Bachelor/Bachelorette." The show is currently on their fourth season but the other seasons are available online for viewing. This season is unlike the others as Dr. Pepper has brought with her two new experts in hopes of having more successful marriages. And although the show hasn’t had much success in marriages the previous three seasons, there are two examples that the social experiment can be successful. Jaime and Doug as well as Jason and Cortney are two couples from season one who have been happily married since 2014. Their relationships weren't perfect and they faced many hardships, but have overcome them. You can catch up on their progress in their tv series "Married At First Sight: The First Year." So give it a try, you might end up liking it.

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.
