“This is Us” is a newer show that follows the up and downs of a typical, but unique family. It primarily focuses on the three siblings Kate, Kevin, and Randall but also their mom and dad Jack and Rebecca Pearson. This show consistently takes you on an emotional roller coaster that leaves you a sad mess eating ice cream, wondering when your Jack Pearson will be showing up. Here are a few reasons why you should stop everything and watch "This is Us."

1.The relatability

“This is Us” might be one of the most relatable shows out there. It describes the different aspects of family life in such a way that isn’t the typical cookie cutter show. “This is Us” takes on serious topics that many shows don’t like to talk about. For instance, the show takes on race, adoption, body image issues and drug/alcohol abuse. While not everyone may have the same problems as the Pearsons, you are bound to find one connection.

2. The drama

The drama of this show will keep you constantly wanting more. It seems whenever everything is going perfectly, something terribly awful happens and you are left with a broken heart and tears streaming down your face. You will be watching saying this can’t get any worse, but wait it can. Then somehow they all find a way to bounce back and grow as people and as cheesy as it sounds, that's beautiful.

3. The goals

I do not care what anyone says, I want a love as incredible, pure and honest as the love that the parents of “This is Us”, share. I mean the way Jack goes out of his way just to make his wife smile is the cutest thing. This show will make you stop looking for your Thomas Rhett and start looking for your Jack Pearson. Not to mention, Randall and his wife Beth are the ultimate modern "cool" mom and dad. I definitely want to be as cool as Beth when I grow up.

4. The inspiration

The way the characters preserve in this show is incredible. I constantly find myself thinking I wouldn’t know what to do after some of the things this family experiences. Where I would want to sit and cry these characters are constantly fighting to be better, improve themselves and grow. However not only is their perseverance inspirational, but the unconditional love that they feel for each other is something that we should all strive for. The acceptance and forgiveness are just incredible to witness.

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.
