11 Things All Packers Fans Know To Be True

If you can't make it to Lambeau, you'd better break out the finger food and invite your friends and family over for a tailgate party in your own living room.

11 Things All Packers Fans Know To Be True

With a population falling just short of 105,000 people, Green Bay, Wisconsin is the smallest city in the nation in which a professional sports team calls home. Despite the smaller than average sized city, fans are known across the globe for the pride they take when it comes to cheering on their beloved team, the Green Bay Packers. If you're a true "Wisconsinite" or maybe even one of the brave souls who cheer on the Packers from a surrounding state, there are certain things you know to be true when it comes to rooting for the green and gold.

1. Packer apparel can be worn on a daily basis.

Kids in Wisconsin are Packer fans before they even leave the womb. It doesn't matter the season either, Packer apparel is worn year round.

2. As a result, your wardrobe is greatly composed of said apparel.

If your closet even slightly resembles the wall of jerseys at the Pro Shop, you're doing something right.

3. Lambeau Field is a magical place.

No matter the weather, the stands of Lambeau Field are sure to be packed and rowdy as we cheer our team to victory.

4. Packer parties are big a thing.

And they're actually a pretty cool thing. If you can't make it to Lambeau, you'd better break out the finger food and invite your friends and family over for a tailgate party in your own living room.

5. A Wisconsin nightmare: The grocery store on a Packer Sunday.

Unless you enjoy the risk of missing the kickoff of the Packer game, stock up on your taco dip and other necessities the night before the big game.

6. The mall (a.k.a. ghost town) during a game.

If you're not into football, hit up the mall during a Packer game. Seriously, it will be the most relaxing trip to the mall you may ever encounter and you're sure to land a great parking spot on top of it.

7. Packer Family Night is one of the greatest nights of summer.

While it may just be one huge, televised football scrimmage, fans still manage to sell out Lambeau Field and stay for the fireworks display and great time that is Packer Family Night.

8. The Pro Shop is a Packer fan's favorite store.

Whether you're gearing up for yourself or purchasing gifts, the Pro Shop has everything you could ever imagine (and more!).

9. A Wisconsin bar & grill is the place to be on game-day.

Every bar in Wisconsin looks similar to this during a Packer game, complete with fans decked out in their finest green and gold apparel (and their alcoholic beverage of choice in hand).

10. We love to yell "GO PACK GO!"

11. We're proud to call Aaron Rodgers the best quarterback of all time.

Who else would be capable of throwing the infamous "Hail Mary" passes? That's right, no one. We love you, Aaron.

Clearly, the Packers are the team in the NFL with the best fans and we will continue to demonstrate our love for America's favorite team.

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.
