So most people will probably skip over this, which is fine, but I must put this out there. "The Last Dance" is an absolutely phenomenal documentary that embodies the essence of sports and why they are more than just a game.

I personally grew up playing soccer, but my truest love lies with the arts. Even though I do not play anymore, I am so pleased that I did because it teaches you so much about people, the relationships between them, dependability, and being a part of a whole. This is exactly what the series captures.

The documentary follows the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan from 1991 to 1998 during their streak of winning 6 championships in 8 years. As focused as it is on those games, it is much more focused on the players and the dynamics between them. You learn about how they pushed each other, and were mostly pushed by Michael Jordan, in order to win the championship each season.

What is so intriguing about the nature of the documentary is the way in which these real people start to become characters to the viewer. You learn their personalities, and how their personalities work with each other.

What is also so interesting about sports is the amount of time people commit to them. When you are on a team, you are with those people every day, and you are expected to give your best effort to the people on your team at all times.

If you have not been on a team, it is really difficult to imagine what it is like, but this documentary will give such a realistic insight to you.

I could honestly talk about this all day, but I will not, so just watch it. Thank you.

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.
