In This Article:

I am usually quite skeptical when it comes to animated television shows for young adults. I tend to turn away from raunchy humor, and I assume that the majority of these programs rely on sexually explicit material or offensive jokes, such as "Family Guy" or "American Dad".

When people first started suggesting "BoJack Horseman" to me, I repeatedly ignored their comments. I prefer to rewatch my old, beloved shows rather than start a new one. However, once I realized that "Friends" would be removed from Netflix, I found myself stuck. I needed something different, something to distract me from the pain of losing my favorite gang of six.

The series is very different from what I normally watch, and I considered giving up after the first two episodes. I decided to stick with it and now I find myself constantly looking for an excuse to watch more episodes.

It's awkward, it's satirical, it's the perfect blend of humorous and strange. Although I don't necessarily relate to the characters as I would when watching other television series, I still think that a lot of the commentary is relevant to both my life and society in general.

1. The Struggles of Being Awake

This is extremely relevant to someone like me, who naturally wakes up at one in the afternoon.

2. The Perils of Adulthood

One day you're carefree, the next day you realize you have to learn how to do taxes.

3. Society at Its Finest

Of course we've progressed, but there's still much more we can improve.

4. Coping Mechanisms

Sometimes, we all just need a good cry.

5. Refocusing for Our Goals

Even when we get off track, we can reevaluate and come out stronger in the end.

6. Being Honest About Your Feelings

It's okay to admit that you're struggling.

7. Adulthood is Hard

Being a certain age doesn't mean you have to have everything figured out.

8. Everyone Can Improve

You can always strive to be the best version of yourself.

If you're an animal fanatic, a cynic, or just genuinely enjoy comedies, definitely check out this series. I guarantee it will surprise you.

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.
