10 Struggles Every Buffalo Fan Goes Through
Katie Marino

Being a Buffalo Bills fan comes with a lot of struggles. Through the ups and downs, we still stand by our team even if they continue to make us buy lots of alcohol and drink the pain away.

Here're 10 struggles every Buffalo Bills fan encounters at some point in their lives.

1. Hearing the "Wide Right" joke 100 times.

Keep cracking those (lame) jokes, but Scott Norwood is still a hero to every person in the city of Buffalo.

2. You keep telling everyone that the team is still in the "rebuilding process."

It feels like Buffalo fans have been telling everyone for the last decade that we're still rebuilding. Truthfully, that's what we tell ourselves at night so we can sleep.

3. Hearing that Buffalo sucks because of the weather.

If you can't handle the cold, then Buffalo might not be the place for you. There's a specific breed that can handle the negative temperatures and the giant piles of snow — their called Buffalonians.

4. The only way to attend a playoff game is to see other teams play.

Seeing other teams play can be a bummer, but bringing Bills Mafia to different places is always exciting.

5. When people tell you Zubaz pants aren't actually pants.

Don't let those haters bring you down, keep rocking those Zubaz out in public.

6. Actually sobbing when Freddy Jackson got released.

The city of Buffalo was devastated when the news broke about Freddy being released.

He was a fan favorite, a good teammate, and a great role model.

Thank you, Freddy Jackson, we miss you.

7. Getting blamed for Kim Kardashian's fame.

You think going to the Superbowl four times in a row and losing all of them would be enough, but now we also have to be connected to Kim Kardashian in some way. We have enough to drink about, we don't need this problem in our life.

8. Having to deal with a new quarterback every year.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback position has been like a revolving door since Jim Kelly. Every couple years we've acquired a new quarterback who still doesn't lead us to the playoffs. It's OK, we're still "Bill"-eving.

9. Getting made fun of because we're the drunkest fans in the NFL.

You'd be drinking, too if your team didn't make it to the playoffs for 16 years straight.

10. Nervous about getting moved to a different city, but not anymore!

Suck it, Bon Jovi!

We are staying right here in Western New York, thanks to the Pegula family!

Out of the struggles every Buffalo fan goes through, it's all worth it in the end.

Let's go, Buffalo!

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.
