"The Good Place" is a show of not only life and death, but it explains all the in-betweens. The show has humor, sadness, romance, raunchiness, and a unique outlook on what happens after we die. All in all, it is forkin' real, and that's why we love it the most.

1. It makes us want to be good.

I don't know about you, but I have seen so many shows that cover the topic of "heaven and hell". However, I have never seen one that covers it quite like "The Good Place". This show explains that the only way you get into the good place after you pass is if you were a good person on Earth.

This concept is so amazing to me. Instead of having to be blessed under religion, it focuses on morals and what mark you leave on Earth. Since watching this show, it has made me think really hard about my decisions and whether or not they are kind. It makes you want to be a good person!

2. It's simply hilarious.

How can you not laugh at this show? It's so forkin' funny! "The Good Place" is just one of those shows that is simply hilarious. With all the witty lines and crazy things that happen, it will for sure make you laugh.

The show also makes you look on the brighter side of life. When things get a little too tough, laugh it out or crack a joke. That's what they thrive on in "The Good Place".

3. The twist and turns will have you shocked.

This show doesn't start out like any other show. You don't find out what the whole plot even is until the ending of the first season. When it starts, you do not even know that the good place is actually the bad place in disguise. Finding that out blows your mind.

But it doesn't end there. With all the resets on their afterlife, the love triangles, and the plots, you honestly never know what is going to happen next.

4. Chidi and Eleanor.

Anyone who knows Chidi and Eleanor knows that they are complete opposites. But for some reason, it works. The two start out hating one another, but soon, they learn to love and appreciate one another. The thing we love about them most of all is that no matter how many times they lose each other, they always fall madly in love again.

Let's be honest, who doesn't love a good romance?

5. It shows that people can change.

Last but not least, the main reason we love "The Good Place" is the turnaround that the characters make. Every single character does a 360 in this show, even Micheal, who is a literal demon. It shows that, with just a little push in the right direction, you can change immensely.

All in all, "The Good Place" is an amazing, real, and moving show. It inspires you to get out of your head and start living a more positive and carefree life!

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

The girls I will never forget.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
