What It's Like To Watch The Same TV Show As Your Friend
Mashable

You have been counting down the days until the season premiere, or for the newest episode, of your favorite show. Of course, because your best friend is your best friend, it's their favorite show too.

You don't need to cancel any plans because you didn't make any to begin with. No one should expect you to do anything right before, during or even after your show is on.

Every week, you go to the same house or dorm room and settle into the same spot on the sofa, no questions asked. Parents, siblings and roommates know not to bother you while the show is on.

Finally the show is starting, and your friends are there for every up and down of the episode. When something dramatic happens on the show, you're both either screaming or crying.

You use the commercial breaks to fully absorb what just happened.

You and your friends have conversations about the actors as if you know them personally, only for some outsider to remind you that, just because you watch the show, does not mean you know the actors.

Maybe you've even adopted some of the show's sayings into your everyday conversations. Other people might give you weird looks when you use them, but your best friend doesn't give it a second thought. He or she might even respond with another quotable line from the show.

If you guys can't watch the show together (because maybe you go to school three hours away from each other), you are non-stop texting throughout the entire episode.

When the newest episode has ended, you wrap up your conversations, grab your things and get ready to leave. You'll be right back here for the next new episode. Until then, you and your friend help each other get through the week by reminding each other there are only X number of days until the newest episode of your favorite show.

Hopefully that means next week and not next season — you can not wait that long.

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.
