I am one of those people that won't watch a show for a long time if someone recommends it to me. I'll take even longer to watch it if it gets recommended to me more than once. I did that with Brooklyn Nine-Nine and have so many regrets that I didn't hop onto the bandwagon sooner. Here are a few reasons why you should watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine if you're hesitant.

1. It has a diverse cast.

Shoutout to Brooklyn 99 for showing a diverse workplace and giving minorities a chance to star in a show that is important to so many people.

2. It talks a lot about representation.

Captain Holt happens to be black and gay, something he is not ashamed of. In fact, he becomes a big inspiration for a lot of black and lgbtq people who hope to be cops someday, showing representation matters.

3. Peralta and Santiago are one of the best ships ever.

This isn't a spoiler because you can tell their destined to be together from the start, but even their evolving friendship is really sweet and very fun to follow along with.

4. Charles Boyle, enough said.

Boyle is so sweet and loveable and you can tell that from the very first episode. It's fun to watch him go from a character mostly there for comic relief, to a relatable softy. I think he has to be one of my favorite parts of the show.

5. It has a group of really quirky secondary cast members that you'll grow to appreciate.

Hitchcock and Scully are a dream team of comedy and are sure to get you close to peeing their pants with their antics and funny quirks. I also really love Gina and find her annoying and amazing all at the same time.

So, take it from someone who hates being told to watch shows and go watch this show. You won't regret it.

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.

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.
