50 Things That Are Better Than Joe Buck

Well, as many of you sadly know our talented, determined, hardworking Cleveland Indians lost to the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday evening. As many of you also know, a certain announcer by the name of Joe Buck showed a great deal of bias towards the Cubs throughout the entirety of the series. Similar to the theme of NBA Finals, Cleveland was once again fighting against the world. Joe Buck had a disgusting infatuation with the Cubs and their ever so mediocre player, Kyle Schwarber (seriously, he's not that great). Buck made it very clear that he was not cheering for the Tribe in every way possible. I mean I think anyone could tell you who he was rooting for just by listening to him talk for more than a minute. Every other word out of his mouth was commending the Cubs for making simple routine plays or discussing how long it had been since Chicago brought home a World Series win (it's been a long time for us too, buddy). And while it is a huge deal the Cubs won, I feel as though Cleveland was just tossed aside. I mean what ever happened to cheering for the underdog? Many predicted the Tribe would not even make it past Boston, but they came through and did better than anyone ever imagined. I have never been more proud to be from "The Land" after this past year. Our own Cavaliers brought home an NBA title and the Indians made it to Game 7 of the World Series. The only thing better than that would have been winning the World Series, but I don't think we have much to worry about because things are looking even better for the Tribe's 2017 season. In the words of Cody Allen the Indians "want to get this started again." They're going to come back better than ever, there's no doubt about it. So, after this devastating loss I thought I would tell you a few things to brighten your day, perhaps 50 things better than Joe Buck?

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.
