If you have Netflix, spend time on Tumblr, or if you just generally don't live under a rock, you have probably, at one point or another, at least heard of the Netflix original show, "Stranger Things". The show, which was released in July, combines horror, supernatural, and mystery. Though it is set in the 1980s and makes use of a vintage title screen, "Stranger Things" is horrifying, addicting, and realistic -- if you believe governmental conspiracies and that supernatural creatures exist, that is.

With only one season of the show released, viewers are left with hundreds of questions that they hope are answered in season two. So, if you've seen "Stranger Things" and loved it, then you probably understand. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?

1. Who is Eleven?

Is she really Terry Ives' daughter?

2. How did Eleven get her powers?

Sure, Terry was an experiment herself, but how was she the only one to have such a powerful child? And what drugs did she take to produce Eleven?

3. Where did the monster come from?

What is it? What is its origin story? Was there only one of them, or are there more in the Upside Down?

4. What is the Upside Down?

Can you only get there through the portals? Is the monster the only thing that lives there?

5. What do Mike and Nancy's parents think happen?

Last they heard, Eleven was dangerous and the entire "U.S. Government" was on the search for their son. Are they glad that Eleven is dead? Did Mike and Nancy set them straight and tell them all about the Upside Down and the monster? Or do they only know the absolute basics?

6. Did Terry Ives ever get better?

Her story line was brief and unsatisfying. Would meeting Eleven bring her back, if Eleven were her long lost daughter? Could Eleven do anything to help?

7. Does Eleven have any more powers?

She can kill people with her mind and reach to the Upside Down, among a slew of other psychokinetic gifts. But they all physically tire her. Will she ever grow and be able to do more for longer? Can she train her mind to do more?

8. Why didn't Nancy and Jonathan end up together?

Sure, Steve got better. He saved them and apologized for being a jerk. Yet Nancy and Steve never really had the chemistry that Nancy and Jonathan did. What a bummer.

9. How is Steve alright?

He walked in at the wrong time and got attacked by the monster, but he totally took it in stride. Why doesn't he have a million questions?

10. What happened to Eleven?

Is she still alive? Is she all alone in the Upside Down? And what does Chief Hopper know about her situation?

11. Speaking of Hopper, what happened when he was taken away in the government car?

Was he paid for his silence? Did he learn more about Eleven from them? Was he able to speak to her?

12. Is Will actually alright?

He went to the Upside Down, he was nearly sucked lifeless by the monster, and now he's coughing up pieces of it. Is he really alright? Does he have some weird connection to the monster now?

13. And, most importantly, why does no one care about Barbara?

What do her parents think? Why doesn't Nancy, her best friend, care about Barbara's death? #JusticeForBarbara

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.
