"The Good Place" is a show of not only life and death, but it explains all the in-betweens. The show has humor, sadness, romance, raunchiness, and a unique outlook on what happens after we die. All in all, it is forkin' real, and that's why we love it the most.

1. It makes us want to be good.

I don't know about you, but I have seen so many shows that cover the topic of "heaven and hell". However, I have never seen one that covers it quite like "The Good Place". This show explains that the only way you get into the good place after you pass is if you were a good person on Earth.

This concept is so amazing to me. Instead of having to be blessed under religion, it focuses on morals and what mark you leave on Earth. Since watching this show, it has made me think really hard about my decisions and whether or not they are kind. It makes you want to be a good person!

2. It's simply hilarious.

How can you not laugh at this show? It's so forkin' funny! "The Good Place" is just one of those shows that is simply hilarious. With all the witty lines and crazy things that happen, it will for sure make you laugh.

The show also makes you look on the brighter side of life. When things get a little too tough, laugh it out or crack a joke. That's what they thrive on in "The Good Place".

3. The twist and turns will have you shocked.

This show doesn't start out like any other show. You don't find out what the whole plot even is until the ending of the first season. When it starts, you do not even know that the good place is actually the bad place in disguise. Finding that out blows your mind.

But it doesn't end there. With all the resets on their afterlife, the love triangles, and the plots, you honestly never know what is going to happen next.

4. Chidi and Eleanor.

Anyone who knows Chidi and Eleanor knows that they are complete opposites. But for some reason, it works. The two start out hating one another, but soon, they learn to love and appreciate one another. The thing we love about them most of all is that no matter how many times they lose each other, they always fall madly in love again.

Let's be honest, who doesn't love a good romance?

5. It shows that people can change.

Last but not least, the main reason we love "The Good Place" is the turnaround that the characters make. Every single character does a 360 in this show, even Micheal, who is a literal demon. It shows that, with just a little push in the right direction, you can change immensely.

All in all, "The Good Place" is an amazing, real, and moving show. It inspires you to get out of your head and start living a more positive and carefree life!

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.
