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.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.
