Admit it. You cannot wait for that reality TV show to come out so you can catch all the drama each week. You anxiously wait for your favorite show to come back with new contestants every year, waiting for the fighting and the "showmances" to unfold. Plus, you probably wouldn't mind being on one of these television shows yourself! Here's a list of pretty popular "guilty pleasure" reality television shows that almost everyone watches.


1. "Big Brother" (Premieres Wed. June 22.)

A competition show on CBS, Big Brother, is a show where a group of men and women enter a house, and are soon known as "houseguests." These houseguests fight until the end, playing in competitions to become Head of Household, or to win the Power of Veto. With many 'show-mances' involved, and a lot of tears and drama, the fight to win the cash is insane.

2. "Survivor"

I can already tell just by looking at Jeff's movement, that he's screaming "Winner!" "Survivor" is a game show where you're stranded on an island, trying to survive throughout the game show. The goal is to make it through each competition with your 'tribe' and not get voted out at the Tribal Counsel.

3. "Family Feud"

One of the most well-known episodes of "Family Feud." A game show where two families fight for the cash prize, with a family member from each side facing each other, trying to get the best answer to a question they can get. You'll be screaming answers at the T.V from your couch... not to mention, Steve Harvey is a riot.

4. "Teen Mom"

I mean, I don't think we all technically want to be on this show, but it's binge-watch worthy. The girls on "Teen Mom" started off on MTV's "16 and Pregnant." Both shows follow the struggles of having a baby in their teenage years and how they overcome such tough times. Plus, who doesn't love watching Farrah and Janelle's breakdowns?

5. "Jersey Shore"

"Jersey Shore" is a show you could watch over and over again and still crack up at the stupidity and hysterical drama. I'm sure you've all heard of the 'Snooki Poof' and the 'Jersey Turnpike', but definitely watch this show if you want to catch on to some Jersey lingo. We all wanted to be a part of the 'Jersey Family' when this show was aired on MTV, and we're sad to see it be over.

6. "The Bachelor" / "The Bachelorette"

"The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" are both shows where a guy or a girl are looking for love. With numerous options, they go on dates with all the contestants trying to figure out which one they could possibly propose to at the end. Long story short, you're dating everyone on the show. But oh, the dreaded roses. Getting a rose during the Rose Ceremony was the most nervewracking thing of each week. If you don't get a rose on "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette" it signifies that the person doesn't have an interest in you. How heartbreaking, right?

7. "The Real World"

MTV's "The Real World" is a show where 7 strangers enter a house with the purpose of trying to get to know each other without getting under anyone's skin. The focus of the show is to meet new people and to explore a new city. Seems easy right? Wrong. This series is always filled with drama and love gone wrong. So sit back and relax, cause this show makes you want to go on it and meet new people.. or enemies.

8. "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"

Unfortunately "KUWTK" is definitely a show you cannot stop watching, especially when marathons are on T.V, that can be dangerous. The stupidity that comes out of their mouthes sometimes is outrageously funny, and the drama they have within a family is insane. One could definitely re-watch all seasons from start to end and not get sick of it.

9. "Are You The One?"

A personal favorite, "AYTO" is a reality TV show on MTV where 20 singles enter a house, playing a game where you must figure out who your perfect match in the house is. Each week, the contestants scan in with a new partner, in hopes that they find their perfect match. But, numerous people may think they have the same perfect match, so watch the drama unfold.

10. "The Biggest Loser"

As intimidating as the trainers are, we'd all kill to be pushed off our lazy butts to pursue that body we've been dying to have. "The Biggest Loser" is a reality show where contestants partake in extreme exercises with a personal trainer, fighting to lose the most weight out of everyone in a week. The results are insane and no one can compete with Jillian Michaels... trust me.

And 11. "Dance Moms"

Ohhhh, the infamous Abby Lee Miller. "Dance Moms" is a reality show revolving around the lives of dance girls and their moms, constantly battling to keep up with Abby Lee Miller's (the dance teacher) standards. Filled with constant bickering and nonstop drama between not only the girls with Abby, but the Dance Moms themselves, this show is one that gets anyone intrigued.

So, there you have it. A list of reality television shows that can get anyone interested. These 11 shows are binge-worthy and are the type of shows you won't want to stop watching. So sit back, look at this list, and choose your next television show. I promise you won't be disappointed.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
