10 Reasons Why Football Is The Best

Fire up the grills, dust off the flags, and break out the cowboy boots because it's game day! Football is back, fall is in the air, and I think we can all agree on these 10 football facts!

1. The entire town is united.

Even if it's only for a few hours, it's cool to see everyone coming together to cheer the home team to victory.

2. Day drinking is allowed.

Because what's a football game without a few beers?

3. It's impossible to predict the outcome.

Sure, there can be a heavy favorite to win the game, but no one knows exactly what will happen until the last snap.

4. Everyone loves a good upset.

Nothing is more satisfying than an underdog taking down the big dogs every now and then. I'm looking at you App State.

5. Making friends with random people.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, loves a good football game. Who cares if you don't know the person beside you; odds are you'll high five after every touchdown. It's a special bond.

6. The unique team chants.

Screaming until you lose your voice is definitely allowed on game day. In fact, it's encouraged.

7. Coaching the team from the couch.

If you're watching from home, you can relate to yelling at the tv after your team threw the ball when they definitely should have ran it.

8. The pregame rituals.

Whether it's wearing the same jersey, or same pair of socks, game day rituals are not taken lightly.

9. Getting into heated arguments with your friends.

Because Luke Kuechly is the best, and there's no arguing that.

10. Your team's sharp new uniforms.

Look good, play good. It's important to come out looking intimidating.

And finally, it's all about the spirit of the game. Win or lose, game day is the best day!

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.
