Why You Should Watch 'Outlander'
The Wrap

When I ask my friends if they are fans of "Outlander," they respond with “what’s that?” I feel as if this show is very under estimated and more people need to be aware of this magnificent show. So here are some reasons why you should start binge watching it.

1. If you like "Game of Thrones", you will like "Outlander."

It has the same kind of wit and gore that "GOT" has. Coming from a fan of "GOT," I instantly fell in love with this show and I am just as obsessed with "Outlander" than I am with "GOT."

2. The first season is filmed in Scotland, so you can bet there are a lot of Scottish accents.

All of the characters (except for Claire) talk in a Scottish accent. Forget wanting to have a British accent. Having a Scottish accent is the new thing now.

3. The main male character is hot.

James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser. Beautiful blue eyes. Beautiful long red hair. Beautiful body. Beautiful human being. Enough said.

4. The story line is super good.

It is about a woman (Claire) who time travels from 1945 to 1743 in the Highlands of Scotland. Claire has to decide whether to go back to her husband in 1945 or stay in 1743.


5. Shirtless scenes of Jamie.

You get to see Jamie’s body andbutt multiple times. I mean, I’m sold already.

6. If you like witch stuff, there is an episode about witchcraft.

If you find witchcraft interesting, then you will enjoy an episode where Claire is accused of being a witch. Such an interesting episode that popcorn will definitely be necessary.

7. The books are amazing, and the TV show is equally amazing.

The books are phenomenal. Diana Gabaldon did an excellent job writing all seven books And yes, this means that there will be seven seasons. There is still time for you to join the fandom.

8. You will want to visit the Highlands sometime in your life.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Forget going to Cabo for your honeymoon. You will want to go and vacation in the Highlands.

9. It will make you want to live in Scotland and not England.

Again, beautiful area. What more do you want?

10. Season two is out.

You are not too far behind, you can still catch up. So you can't use the excuse that "I will never catch up" because you can.

11. You won't regret it.

Trust me, this will be the best decision of your life, right behind you obsessing over "GOT."

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.
