"Glee" is another one of those feel-good teen dramas that make you wonder how producers thought these actors could pass as high school students. I digress.

I felt a little embarrassed watching this show in public places because I'm a 24-year-old woman watching a TV show about a bunch of high school kids singing, but honestly I love this show.

When "Glee" first aired in May 2009, there was a lot of hype over it and it had a huge fanbase for middle and high schoolers. It is now available to stream on Netflix and still has its loyal fanbase of "Gleeks."

What's "Glee" about?

"Glee" essentially navigates the unfiltered lives of a group of teens who come from different cliques: the cheerleaders, jocks, nerds, and randoms. From teen pregnancies to death, this show covers ALL of the emotions.

High school Spanish teacher Will Schuester decides to take over as the glee club instructor and finds a bunch of kids from different cliques and brings them together to make an average singing group incredible.

How good IS it?

My favorite part of this show has to be the character development and relationships between everyone. It really makes you reminisce about the high school drama you had while also thinking to yourself "OK, yeah, that would NEVER happen in high school, but it kinda works."

The main characters are Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson. While all of the O.G. glee club members have a hand in being the stars, it's clear that these two are the front runners for the show, which aligns with the fact that they are the female and male leads of the glee group.

At the end of the third season, a lot of the original glee members graduate and move on with their lives, which we still get to follow. But as far as the original setting of Lima High goes, there is a new group of glee members joining some of the original members who are the new seniors. The graduated characters move on to college or post-grad lives in several locations around the country, but mainly following the life of Rachel in New York City.

When the new set of characters come in and the settings change, it is definitely a little sour and hard to get used to at first, but the flow comes naturally later on and it works.

I think this show deserves a shot if you are someone who loves those teen dramas, this show is full, and I mean FULL of all of the drama you could ask for.

Overall I give "Glee" a 7.5 out of 10 for your weekend — now quarantined — binge watch.

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.
