It's more than just a TV show.

This 90s/early 2000s, six-season show is something that I feel many teenagers and young adults can completely relate to on so many levels. Each character presents life experiences and personalities that are so different from one another that any audience can connect with at least one of them.

For those who have never heard or have never seen this show, it is about a high school boy, Dawson Leery. The show follows his life and how he deals with friends, relationships, parents, school, and his future. He dreams of becoming a filmmaker and has been wanting to be one since he was younger. He expresses his dreams to his life-long friend, Josephine (Joey) Potter, by watching movies all the time; when they were younger, they even had sleepovers since they were so close.

I could go into much more detail about all the characters and their backgrounds since they are all so diverse, but they all ended up in Capeside, somehow. Dawson and his friends deal with everything a teenager goes through and the show even goes into their college years. To see a television show that presents my exactly feelings of college, my future career path, and relationships makes me have faith that not everything on TV is just entertainment.

Sure, people might look at this show and think it is just another one of those shows that has teenagers trying to figure who they are and what they want to be in life. However, there are deeper meanings hidden within each episode that is never shown.

This show presents real life situations that can and have happened to many people, but the thing is that the cast do not try to fix or solve why these things happen like other shows. The characters are hit with some of life's biggest tragedies and they take the blows just like regular people in reality have to do as well. I don't want to give anything away, but there are instances where unexpected, but realistic things do come up. However, every character gets through their life after those situations because they have amazing friends around them.

The power of friendship is what keeps this show interesting. Some friendships come out between people who never talk or just have a bad history together, but when a character is in need of just someone to talk to or to just be there with them, that's when the audience gets it. Someone is always there, no matter who they are or where they are from.

I can honestly say I have never been impacted by a television show as much as "Dawson's Creek." It taught me that even if life gets really hard to handle, relationships are all over the place, and that though my future is uncertain, it will get better. There will always be people that will be here for me.

So, thank you, "Dawson's Creek," for being an inspiration to me, and to the producers -- I expect a reunion in the near future.

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.
