The Bold Type

In This Article:

ICYMI, Freeform has an incredible show that premiered last summer and came back for its second season this year.

"The Bold Type" follows 3 best friends working at a Scarlet, a women's magazine in NYC and navigates a number of complex topics while still keeping it light and fun.

Here are ## reasons you should add "The Bold Type" to your summer must-watch list.

1. Female friendships

Don't we all wish we had friends like Jane, Kat, and Sutton? The intimacy, honesty, and realness of their relationships, with all their ups and downs, makes you feel like you're friends with them at the end of each episode.

2. Diversity

With cast and characters of all different races, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, "The Bold Type" captures a wide variety of people and their experiences.

3. Big issues

From immigration to cancer to gun control to female orgasms, "The Bold Type" isn't afraid to tackle tough topics, which is refreshing and super relevant in today's political culture.

4. New York City

Who doesn't love a show that's based in NYC?

5. Professional development

The show isn't all about going out and having fun with your friends. It also addresses what it's like to break into the professional world in your 20's.

6. Amazing bosses

Can all bosses be this nice and supportive, pls and thx?

7. Sex positivity

It's 2018. Sex positivity is in and telling women what to do with their bodies is out. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

8. The message

Jane, Kat, and Sutton kill it with the real life applications.

9. The romance

From steamy secret work romances to first loves to discovering your sexuality, "The Bold Type" does a great job interjecting fun romantic storylines to lighten up the more serious moments of the show.

10. The fashion

(And mainly the fashion closet, where all the best conversations happen).

11. The painful feeling when it ends

Like all summer flings, it must come to an end, but fingers crossed it'll be back next summer!

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.
