So here is what you missed on Glee...

GLEE

This May marked the 10 year anniversary of Ryan Murphy's hit show Glee and I couldn't feel more emotional about it.

For those who don't know, Glee was a six-season long show that aired on Fox. It was about a group of teenagers in a small town in Ohio that were part of a Glee club. The shows incredible success helped in jumpstarting actors such as Lea Michele and Darren Criss's careers. Celebrities such as Britney Spears, John Stamos and Gwyneth Paltrow took part in the series. Though not everyone's career skyrocketed after the show, everyone on the cast was incredibly talented.

Glee is a series that I continue to watch time and time again. I watched it when it was live and probably once to twice a year every year since. It still never gets old. The show not only includes incredible performances of iconic songs, but included so much more. Whether it be laughing at the crazy one-liner Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) said or crying as I watched Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison) hysterically cry into Finn's letterman (Corey Monteith) in the "Quarterback" episode, the show always had me engaged.

The show covered so many topics and included so many different types of people. The club called New Directions included not only the individuals that were seen as misfits but also three football players and three cheerleaders. The diversity of members caused for so many different storylines. The show discussed teen pregnancy, bullying, LGBTQ+ relationships as well as many other topics that weren't being discussed in television shows.

Though I am obsessed with the show, it became very hard to watch after lead actor Corey Monteith passed away. Watching Glee without Finn Hudson was hard to do. Though the episodes were well made, you could tell that the show was just trying to finish their contract after Monteith's passing. Finn Hudson was the quarterback on the football team, the male lead in the glee club and the first "cool" person to join the club. His character was often seen as the level-headed genuinely good guy. Throughout the series, Finn dated lead female Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). Michele and Monteith were dating in real life up until his passing.

I don't see a time where I get tired of watching the series. Whether I am watching it because I want to hear good covers (their cover of "Don't Stop Believing" is so iconic), laugh, or cry, I never regret putting it on. So if you haven't, I highly encourage you to watch it.

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.
