Here's why this fan is tuning into the show.

Riveting 'Riverdale'
Twitter Photo Archie Comics tweet

I grew up reading 'Archie' comics when I was younger. I would beg my grandma to get me the comics at the grocery store. I also remember watching 'Archie's Weird Mysteries' on Saturday mornings. I specifically remember reading a four part series that was a reboot of the comic series with a new look and new bad boy who wants to stirrup trouble in Riverdale. So now it only makes sense that I'd be really excited for the new CW series 'Riverdale' to come out. They released at least three trailers for the series so far. As you may know from reading previous articles I love and watch too many shows.Even though I already have so many shows to watch I only add another if it's worth it. I feel this show is worth it, so here are my reasons why I'm planing to watch the show. This article only contains spoilers of the trailers. I haven't seen the show and am open to changes in my opinion. This article is just based off of what I think may be good reasons to watch. I do plan to try and write a follow up article after the series premieres.

1. Darkness.

Like the 'Archie' that I grew up with wasn't that dark. I just hope that the darkness doesn't become too much. Finding light in darkness can be a good thing.

2. Cole Sprouse appears... finally!


Please add more of him. I mean come on Jugghead is kind of my current spirit animal. All he wants to do is eat. I'm currently hungry, but writing this article. To be completely honest I had a huge crush on Cole Sprouse and grew up watching him in a little show called "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody".

3. The Triangle

Granted I could just be pulling this from my imagination, but Betty and Veronica have a weird love triangle going on with Archie. To be honest it seems like they're adding a teacher and student love affair to the mix, which to me isn't necessary.

4. Luke Perry

I swear I've watched many episodes of 'Beverly Hill's 90210', and Luke Perry was in it. He was a good actor in it. Luke Perry is the guy without the red hair.


5. The red hair

'Archie' is known for his red hair. I'm so pleased that they didn't change it.


6. The noir, comics, and the Cole

Cole himself says that he's a fan of the comics, so ya'll should know he's a good supporter of the show.


7. I've been binge watching 'The Vampire Diaries' slowly, and cannot help but feel that the show is similar.

Disclaimer: I'm in the first season and first few episodes.


8. The Mystery


I love a good mystery. I grew up with Nancy Drew, Archie, and Scooby Doo.


9. The CW


'Supernatural' and 'Jane the Virgin' ---- nuff said


10. The PLL connection

PLL aka 'Pretty Little Liars' started off with a death of a teen, so does this show. The show has been compared to the series.


Disclaimer: I just picked these videos, photos, and gif to add to my article. The show premiers on January 26 on the CW.

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.
