Why We're Still Watching "Pretty Little Liars"
ABC Family

The year was 2010, the song in the teaser commercial was by One Republic, and if you are my age you were just beginning high school. Does that seem like forever ago? Well, it was five years ago, and it was also the year that ABC Family premiered their teen drama, "Pretty Little Liars." You were interested at first because it had all you could want in a new TV show: cool characters, mystery, and a plot that revolved around getting threatening texts from an unknown stalker.

In case you haven't seen the show, the story revolves around four best friends (Aria, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna) who start to receive threatening texts from an unknown stalker named A, after their other best friend Alison goes missing. Basically, every time the girls get closer to finding out who kidnapped or murdered Alison, A sends them a text message with a threat or sends one of "its" people to physically harm them.

Well, folks, it's been five years, and while a lot of stuff has gone down (Alison isn't really dead), the girls still don't know who A is, or what really happened to Alison. What we have learned is that it's called "Pretty Little Liars" for a reason -- the town of Rosewood has a lot of lying going on and just about everyone -- from the police department and the girls' parents, to their teachers -- is involved.

The whole show has left us with a lot of questions, but most importantly, why are we still watching? I mean, most of the show is completely unrealistic; it's been five years and the girls are still in high school. Will they ever graduate?

I will tell you why we are all still watching: it's addicting! The mystery keeps you wanting more, and with every "reveal" of new information you can't stop watching.

Just for fun, I've complied a list of the people who have been suspected of being A or being on the "A-Team."

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
