You Need To Watch 'The People v. O.J. Simpson' Now That It's On Netflix

Netflix's wave of new additions has recently brought in the award-winning miniseries, "American Crime: The People vs OJ Simpson." Although it's been out for several years and everyone and their mother has probably seen it, if you haven't it's time to get to it. Not only is it incredibly made and absolutely gripping, but it really gives a unique perspective on the case.

The original trial happened before I was born, so all that I've heard about it has been second-hand. This show helps to close that gap and give a more holistic picture than what you may see in other news coverage. It originally caught my attention because I happen to be particularly interested in law, but I really think that it will interest just about anyone.

Don't get me wrong, it is not a documentary and everything in the show should not be taken literally word-for-word, but it does accomplish a telling depiction of the major effect that the case had. It was an incredibly polarizing time, and this show retells the events in a way that really analyzes both sides and how they felt.

Unlike others, this recounting of the events gives equal insight to both sides of the case. Seriously, if we all didn't already know the verdict I would have no idea who would win. I know that it may not seem like it's for everyone, but it's totally worth a shot! Each episode is a total cliffhanger and you will literally finish it in two days while working a full-time job. I know, because I have.

I think that anyone who loves true crime or is even remotely interested in the trial should watch it; you've got to catch up before the next "American Crime" story becomes available!

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.
