13 Reasons Why I Will Always Love 'Pretty Little Liars'

After seven years, the show "Pretty Little Liars" is coming to an end. Not only has the show influenced pop culture in many ways, but it has become a big part of many people's lives especially on Tuesday nights. As we say our heartfelt goodbyes to some of our favorite characters, here are some reasons why I love this show:

1. There is always a plot twist.

I love a good mystery and with this show there was always a never ending mystery. Who is A? Who is A.D.? Who killed Alison? Who killed Mrs. DiLaurentis? The suspense always kept me on my toes.

2. The show is based on a best selling book series.

The 16 book series written by Sara Shepard is absolutely brilliant in my opinion with its fast pace of events and plot twists of its own. When I. Marlene King took on creating a show based upon them, she took the story on a new path while still paying homage to the original story, which Shepard highly approves of.

3. The girls are friendship goals.

No matter what Spencer, Hannah, Aria, Emily, and Alison went through, they always made sure to protect each other.

4. The one liners are always on point.

Each character always brought humor to the table in whatever situation they were put in. I laughed so hard every time.

5. The fashion is amazing.

Every character had their own style that showed off their personality. I wish I could have all their outfits in my wardrobe because I believe there was never a bad outfit on this show.

6. The men on the show are very attractive.

I mean who wouldn't want Caleb, Toby, and Ezra around?

7. There is always a couple to ship.

Whether you are a Haleb, Spoby, Emison or Ezria shipper, each couple on this show has tugged on your heart strings.

8. PLL shows honesty is the best policy.

Yes, I know the show is about girls who are lying but it is to protect each other and they tell the truth by the end. But also they would've saved themselves a lot of pain and grief if they would have come clean in the first place.

9. The theme song is epic.

I cannot tell a lie: the theme song was my texting tone for about five years.

10. The girls refuse to be victims.

These girls could have sat and cried in their bedrooms but instead decided to take on their crazy stalkers and save themselves. If someone said no, they took it upon themselves and waited for no one.

11. It's a show you can watch with all of your girlfriends.

Every Tuesday, my phone blows up from my friends and I watching this show together and being surprised by what happened right before commercial breaks.

12. The show always had the best Halloween episodes.

Don't fight me on this. Every year during 13 nights of Halloween, we got an extra special episode of PLL that always was one of the best episodes of every season.

13. PLL is a show people can relate to no matter their age or what their lives are like.

Okay, so we all haven't been stalked by someone who has called themselves "A" or have had to solve our best friend's murder and then figure out she is actually alive, but the characters on the show went through things that were still relatable to our lives. The show contained those high school mean girls that we all know. It showed how nothing can break those close friendships that we have in our lives. I related to the show and loved it for showing the effects of PTSD on young women and how they can overcome it. No matter the reason, the show brought a community of people together that could relate to the show and each other.

Thank you "Pretty Little Liars" for an unforgettable seven years.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
