Not all of these shows will be your number one favorite show ever, but they all bring something unique to the table. Try some of these out, you might be surprised.

10. Call the Midwife

Call the Midwife is a BBC program that recounts the lives of midwifes in London around 1960. Not only does it show the way of childbirth in the 1960's but also the love lives of the characters. Its well worth the watch if you enjoy historically accurate fiction.

9. The OA

The OA is really cool, however its also really different. Its definitely not for everyone and it takes a fair amount of attention to understand. Its about a blind woman who went missing and then years later returned to her family with her sight restored. Its about so much more than that but SPOILERS!

8. Atypical

Atypical is a funny show about a young boy with autism who is searching for love. The story dives into the lives of the family and how their lives are made different by having a brother or son with autism. Its worth the watch!

7. Dear White People

This show confronts many difficult topics of race and how race affects everyone. It is not a polite show, and its very unconventional, but in my opinion that's what makes it so amazing. Its time to have open conversations about race.

6. Nailed It

This show is quite funny, it takes normal people who aren't chefs and treats them like they are. Its hilarious, and shows you that you aren't actually the worst cook ever, these people on the show are!

5. Lost in Space

Lost in Space is intriguing and exciting. A family who is fleeing from planet earth to find a better planet run into some trouble in the midst of their galactic travel and they end up lost somewhere in the middle with a scary unidentified robot guy who may or may not be evil. This is well worth the watch.

4. The Office

The Office took some time to get used to, but once you get past the first few episodes, you'll laugh so hard you cry. Its a dry humor at times but if you pay attention you will totally love it.

3. New Girl

This show is quite possibly the greatest show ever! Its full of love, life, and good humor. Jessica Day moves in with 4 grown men and the rest is history. Watch it. You'll love it.

2. The Crown

British royals are always interesting, its a historically accurate show about the Queen which shows the life she lived in more personal detail than we see on the outside. Its captivating, and you'll have a killer British accent by the time you've watched season 2.

1. Grey's Anatomy

Ahh, the most well known television show in US... Well, maybe not but its been around for a long time and still going strong. Greys follows the lives of the Doctors at Seattle Grace Hospital from their internship all the way to retirement probably. Full of love triangles, death, medicine, and more death. Its a black hole you may never get out of but so totally worth 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.
