Tina Fey And Amy Poehler Bring Their "Dope Squad" Back To SNL

Vanity Fair

It's finally that time of year again. The end of December. Families gather from across the country to laugh and cry together because everyone has been waiting for this day for months, anticipating the pure joy that they will experience once it happens. Snow is beginning to fall, magic is in the air and you've built this moment up so much that it can't possibly disappoint.

The final episode of the year for Saturday Night Live.

Saturday, December 19 the final episode of 2015 aired, and who better to do the job of hosting than the endlessly funny comedic duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler?

Beginning with a Christmas duet, their monologue sets the show in motion. The pure chemistry between Fey and Poehler allowed this all over the place opener about Christmas and dark Christianity to be awkwardly hilarious. The dynamic of Amy's quirky, light hearted parts of the song mixed with Tina's seriously twisted, straight faced ones create a magnificent Christmas song that's sure to be memorable.

Moving on through politically charged skits, some more singing and a random hover board "commercial", a personal favorite from the night was game show skit "Meet Your Second Wife", which featured the two hosts alongside three male cast members, Taran Killam, Kenan Thompson and Bobby Moynihan. The men were participants in an unknown game show where they are introduced to their future second wives who are surprisingly young.

Finally, another fan favorite was the star-packed skit spoofing Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" music video. "Dope Squad" pokes fun at Swift's video, which is jam packed with her extremely famous A-list friends. Although not very catchy, the super bad-ass Fey and Poehler feature Amy Schumer, Robert Downey Sr., their gynecologists and nannies and even "that guy who brought Amy her lost wallet" in this hilarious musical parody.

Throw in a random Paul McCartney at the end and there you have it, the last Saturday Night Live of the year. It's been a great year for the cast, featuring shows with Ryan Goseling, Larry David, 'The Rock', the ever popular Adele Thanksgiving skit, almost every major 2016 presidential candidate and many more. Here's to another great year at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

See you in 2016, SNL geeks, and "live from New York, It's Saturday Night!"

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.
