“Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!” the punchline screams from your television. You look at your watch; It’s late. You drop everything and run to the front room. A grin forms on your face as you see the "funny-man Fallon" walk out from the spunky blue curtain and is announced: “The Tonight Show, starring Jimmy Fallon!" "The Tonight Show" is known for its rise in creativity from humorous variety skits. Here is a list for the best of Fallon’s memorable bits.

1. “Thank You Notes”

One of the most prominent skits held on Friday nights is “Thank You Notes”. Fallon will proceed with sappy, sob music and write “thank you notes” to the things that are happening in the world or current events that are going on, or just random things that he comes up with to get a laugh.


2. “Wheel of Musical Impressions” with Ariana Grande

When Jimmy knows there are some great impressionists in the entertainment business, he plays "Wheel of Impressions" or when a singer comes on, "Wheel of Musical Impressions". This video was one of the best "Impressions" I found. Ariana Grande must have had major experience with her impressions of famous musical talents. She hit all the great notes with Britney Spears “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. She wowed the audience with her soulful rendition of Christina Aguilera singing “The Wheels On The Bus”. Ariana killed it with Celine Dion “Can’t Feel My Face.”

3. “Jimmy Hashtags”

Every once in a while, Jimmy will ask on his Twitter feed and post a hashtag for people to respond. From there, he will pick out the most brilliant hashtags of the night and read them aloud to the audience. Some of the hashtags that have been featured are #unhappycampers #weddingfail #illegalizeit and #thatwasstupid. Here's a great video:

4. “Lip Sync Battle” with Emma Stone

Let's be honest here, Emma Stone KILLED it! The timid, humble star broke out of her shell, hitting all the right words. Ultimately Emma crushed her performance with her lightning fast lyrics and mad beats. The funny man Jimmy Fallon tried to please the audience with his sporadic dance moves to the classic hit, “Mr. Roboto” by Styx and got the audience going. Emma mesmerized with her rap “All I Do Is Win”, again, hitting all the major words and getting into the music. Jimmy even announced the star the winner at the end of her amazing performance. Congrats, Emma.

5. “Ew”

Most of you have seen the comedy skit, “Ew” that Jimmy Fallon does with celebrities. "Sara with no H because h’s are ew,” is Jimmy’s tagline. He does a lot of funny expressions with a ridiculous Valley girl accent that quite honestly are very funny. He dresses up in girl clothing and a wig, and completes the look with braces. A few of his co-stars that have starred on this segment have been: Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Michelle Obama, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift. He even wrote a song called “Ew!” performed with Will.I.Am. The video exceeded 32 million hits and is still growing.

If you haven’t watched Fallon, I suggest you watch the show. He always brings a grin to my face, even on the worst nights. "The Tonight Show" airs every Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on NBC.

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.
