10 Things My Boyfriend Does During March Madness Basketball

Tell me one more time how badly your bracket is busted.

10 Things My Boyfriend Does During March Madness Basketball
Columbus Alive

Since the 13th of March, my boyfriend has talked about one thing: the NCAA Tournament. I don't even need to watch the games, because he insists on giving me a play-by-play every time (even though I never ask for it). Personally, I do enjoy keeping up with the tournament because I think it's pretty exciting. But if I have to listen to my boyfriend talk about one more bad call, half-court shot, or bracket-busting upset, I might just set myself on fire. Here are just a few things my boyfriend does during March Madness:

1. Checks his bracket every five minutes, even though he knows every single one of his picks and his friends' picks.

But who knows, somebody could have hacked into the NCAA's website and changed everyone's brackets. That's super likely.

2. Gets pissed when my bracket is doing better than his.

Wow, that must be super embarrassing.

3. Continuously tweets about the games, even though everyone already knows what happened.

I don't remember anyone asking for live updates, but thanks anyway babe.

4. Screams at the TV like the players can actually hear him.

Awesome, now I'm deaf.

5. Comments on what a player should have done when something goes wrong.

Because he obviously could get out on the court and do better than all the D1 athletes.

6. Thinks that I have the IQ of a preschooler when it comes to basketball.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I'm far from an expert on college basketball. However, I usually have a pretty good idea of what's going on, and I definitely don't need an explanation of every single play.

7. Pays absolutely no attention to me.

Unless I stand in front of the TV, that is.

8. Goes on 10-minute rants about why a call was wrong.

I'm talking about an argument that includes an introduction, thesis statement, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

9. Gets mad at me when I say one of the players is hot.

Sorry but I gotta be honest here, some of those guys are quite attractive.

10. Insists that March is the best time of the year.

Really, you're ranking it above summer break, Thanksgiving, and the birth of Jesus Christ?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
