15 Thoughts Hockey Fans Have While Watching Other Sports

Last week marked the kick off of another football season. Fans across the nation have been constantly checking player stats, prepping their fantasy team line-ups and eagerly waiting for the next time their team will take the field. For me, the beginning of football meant I was less than 30 days away from a new hockey season. As an Iowa resident, I've learned that my excitement for hockey meant nothing to the majority of the people around me. Because of this, I've been forced by my peers to participate in watching "other sports" such as football and baseball.

Here are the thoughts I have while watching these "other sports":

1. I wonder if anyone notices I'm wearing a Blackhawks shirt.

2. I bet all coin tosses are rigged.

3. I’m sorry I called the Umpire a Ref.

4. Why. Must. We. Stop. Playing. Every. Ten. Seconds.

5. I’d like to see Tom Brady put some skates on.

6. Those Refs really like to throw flags in the air.

7. Please don’t ask me what inning it is. No I don’t know if it’s the top or the bottom.

8. That guy just checked the QB so hard! Put him in the box!

9. What is a safety?

10. Okay overtime! So are they doing a shoot out or is this sudden death?

11. Maybe if Jay Cutler plays better this season I’ll like football more.

12. I wonder who will perform during halftime at the Super Bowl?

13. I feel like baseball players could potentially be decent hockey players.

14. Everyone is freaking out over that touchdown… Is that what I look like after goals are scored?

15. Is it October 10th yet?

**Hang in there Hockey fans! The wait is almost over! To my Dad and all my friends who love "other sports," I promise I will try harder to learn all the rules.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
