Why “Stranger Things” Is Such A Hit
PreviouslyTv
  1. The kids can actually act. It’s not like “Fuller House” where even the adults sound like they’re talking to an imaginary dragon who wants a cookie.
  2. There’s an actual plot, but it doesn’t just revolve around it.
  3. The kids are adorable, and not in a I-want-to-pinch-your-cheeks-for-an-extended-amount-of-time but in a never-get-older kind of way. I mean look at them.
  4. There’s even teenage adolescence problems that revolve around Nancy and her friends, so it makes for a well written and perceive teenager show.
  5. Joyce talks to lights. We’ve all been there. It happens to the best of us—so she’s relatable.
  6. Barb is amazing! That’s all. She just is. She gets me.
  7. It’s set in the 80s’ so of course we are going to love that. This generation is somehow just a repeat of all other generations combined, so we love it. Nostalgia and all (even if we weren’t born until the late 90s’ or early 00s’).
  8. It's new seeing actual kids having to face adult decisions and actually making better ones than they would. if the gang was all in a scary movie, they wouldn't go in the basement. it's refreshing.
  9. They are not only being stalked to a monster but are afraid for their lives from a secret organization, yet they still manage to reference everything back to children games. They obviously aren't that affected by current situations.
  10. They always come prepared for anything.

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.
