I'm Definitely Not Opposed To "The Opposition"

The newest show from Comedy Central

I'm Definitely Not Opposed To "The Opposition"
Vanity Fair

Throughout my time in New York for school, I've been lucky enough to see more than a few TV tapings in some of the most famous studios in the US, if not the world.

From Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show to the ever-funny SNL, being able to watch quality live comedy in a cool, totally unique atmosphere is one of my favorite pastimes. Knowing this, it comes as a surprise to no one that when my job offered me tickets to check out Comedy Central's new show The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, I was totally on board.

Arriving at the show was easy enough: the studio is located in Midtown, and all that stood between me and a very funny evening was a security check and a slightly chilly reception room.

After waiting about a half hour for the show to start--my coworkers and I had arrived at the earliest possible time in order to get good seats--we were ushered into a small studio that was decorated with the corkboard mind-maps of a conspiracy theorist--only these theories were totally revolving around Beyonce, Russia, and the existence of sentient computers.

You see, The Opposition is the exact opposite of its sister network The Daily Show: it mocks the ridiculousness alt-right media by imitating it to the point of hilarity, something that Jordan Klepper was able to pull off flawlessly. With pitch-perfect comic timing and a good-natured grin when not on camera, Klepper leads The Opposition to victory in its quest to deflate the ego of the alt-right.

With episodes available for free streaming online, The Opposition is a new comedy you should definitely check out. And if you score any more studio tickets, feel free to invite me along!

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.
