7 Reason Why 'The Amanda Show' Was The Best
Eonline

Now that 2017 is upon us, I have found myself reminiscing certain parts of my childhood that I loved so much. The thought that the year 2020 is almost here kind of weirds me out. I mean, where is my flying car?! Anyways, here's a list of reasons the Amanda show was the best. Here's to the show that made my nostrils flare and my sides hurt from all the laughter.

1. The Theme Song

You KNOW as soon as you heard "Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, show!" that you were gonna be treated to some of the best comedy that existed on Nickelodeon. I mean, can we just reminisce about Nickelodeon in itself?! They had the best shows.

2. Moody's Point

Ahh... the best teenage drama to watch during the early 2000's. I remember having so much anxiety because they always left you with unanswered questions. For example, did Moody ever reunite with her mother after the hot air balloon accident? Did she ever end up with that guy? And did she find her father's toe? These are all serious questions.

3. Judge Trudy

It was so perfect. Everyone knew about the legendary and sassy Judge Judy, but we also knew about her doppelgänger, Judge Trudy. Amanda was always good at portraying people, and she nailed Judy. Don't lie! You always wanted to say, "Court dismissed! Bring in the dancing lobsters!"

4. "Amanda, please!"

Penelope Taynt. She was Amanda's number one fan, and she was so crazy. And every time she said "www.amandaplease.com", I ALWAYS would check the website out, which was up and running for a few years even after the show was cancelled. It was awesome.

5. Totally Kyle

Kyle told the best stories. He was so deep, and he was definitely one of my favorite sketches.

6. The Girls' Room

I could go on and on about all the jokes that went on in this sketch. If you watched the show, then you will definitely understand this:

Amber was popular.

Tammy was from Tennessee.

Sheila didn't like you.

Debbie liked eggs.

7. Blockblister

Oh, my gosh. I miss blockbuster so much. I mean, don't get me wrong--I love Netflix. But there was just something about going to the movie store and renting movies. It was the best! But you know what was much better? Blockblister.

Thanks for giving us some of the best shows ever Nickelodeon! I'll close with one of the catchiest phrases ever... "Nick, nick, nick, nick, nick, nick, nick, Nickelodeon!"

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
