Why We're Still Watching "Pretty Little Liars"

Why We're Still Watching "Pretty Little Liars"
ABC Family

The year was 2010, the song in the teaser commercial was by One Republic, and if you are my age you were just beginning high school. Does that seem like forever ago? Well, it was five years ago, and it was also the year that ABC Family premiered their teen drama, "Pretty Little Liars." You were interested at first because it had all you could want in a new TV show: cool characters, mystery, and a plot that revolved around getting threatening texts from an unknown stalker.

In case you haven't seen the show, the story revolves around four best friends (Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna) who start to receive threatening texts from an unknown stalker named A, after their other best friend Alison goes missing. Basically, every time the girls get closer to finding out who kidnapped or murdered Alison, A sends them a text message with a threat or sends one of "its" people to physically harm them.

Well, folks, it's been five years, and while a lot of stuff has gone down (Alison isn't really dead), the girls still don't know who A is, or what really happened to Alison. What we have learned is that it's called "Pretty Little Liars" for a reason -- the town of Rosewood has a lot of lying going on and just about everyone -- from the police department and the girls' parents, to their teachers -- is involved.

The whole show has left us with a lot of questions, but most importantly, why are we still watching? I mean, most of the show is completely unrealistic; it's been five years and the girls are still in high school. Will they ever graduate?

I will tell you why we are all still watching: it's addicting! The mystery keeps you wanting more, and with every "reveal" of new information you can't stop watching.

Just for fun, I've complied a list of the people who have been suspected of being A or being on the "A-Team."

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.
