Why You Should be Watching "This Is Us"

If you are looking for a heartwarming, edge-of-your-seat kind of T.V. show, look no further; This Is Us is for you. This Is Us follows three couples, specifically five people, throughout their life showing their love and commitment to one another when life gets tough. This show has some crazy twists and turns which keep you wanting more. I would explain exactly those moments, but I don't want to write any spoilers! As the show progresses, you're introduced to the characters played by Milo Ventimiglia (Jack), Mandy Moore (Rebecca), Chrissy Metz (Kate), Justin Hartley (Kevin), and Sterling K. Brown (Randall) who with their unique personalities and character traits/quirks make memorable impressions. Each character has their own hardships they deal with: Jack and Rebecca dealing with the loss of a child, Kate dealing with her weight/body image and fear of love, Kevin wanting more out of his life, and Randall holding on to the pain of being abandoned as a baby. This show's main theme, however, is family and how important it is to be thankful and grateful to one another, even when life gets in the way. If you were a fan of Modern Family and Parenthood, this show is exactly what you are looking for.

Here are a couple stills from the production to get you excited about watching this show:

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.
