If you watch "This is Us" weekly and have not seen the episode that came directly after the Super Bowl yet, I would stop reading now. This episode was probably the most intense one that the show has released thus far, and it is only going to get crazier.

First of all, airing this episode right after the Super Bowl was exactly the way to get to every mom, college or high school girl, or any other low key viewer of this emotional rollercoaster of a show that was waiting for it throughout the entire game. The excitement was definitely built up and this episode was able to live up to the hype for sure.

Up to this point, everyone has had their theories about how Jack dies, how it is Kate's fault, and how Rebecca is possibly supposed to deal with it and this episode answered almost all of our questions. Jack ends up going back into the house just to save Kate's dog (not worth it) and because of the mass amount of smoke in his lungs, he ends up having a heart attack and dying while Rebecca is at the vending machine getting him candy. Watching Rebecca find out about Jack's death and then immediately watching her have to tell her children was one of the hardest scenes I have ever had to sit through in all of my television watching experience.

As for Randall and family, this episode introduced us to an entire new generation. Just when we thought the writers were running out of ideas, they hit us with an entirely new generation for Randall's children. Throughout the entire episode we thought that the little foster boy was going to be apart of the Pearson family, but then the writers hit us with an absolute BOMB and we see that it is really a look into the future and the foster care agent? Oh yeah, that's Randall's oldest daughter Tess as a grown woman. I don't know how the writers keep doing it.

This episode destroyed me mentally and made me realize that I am never going to be able to predict anything that is coming for me with this show but that being said, I cannot wait to see what Tuesday has in store.

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.
