7 Reasons Why My Team Is My Family

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

7 Reasons Why My Team Is My Family
Sarah Bullard

I consider my teammates to be my family. We spend so much time together and learn so much about each other in such a short amount of time. These are some of the reasons why I consider my team my family.

1. They have my back on and off the field.

No matter what, your teammates are there for you. They would literally fight for you.

2. We can be super competitive one second, but then BFFs the next.

A little friendly competition at practice never hurts.

3. We always want the best for each other.

We always want our teammates to play and compete at the best of their abilities.

4. We lean on each other for support.

Throughout the season, we all go through rough patches, but our teammates are there to help us through them.

5. We don't judge each other for anything.

There is literally no judgement being passed around. We are super comfy with each other and speak our mind.

6. We can read each other's minds.

With one look, you know exactly what your teammate is trying to say.

7. Your bond is unbreakable.

No matter how far you live apart from each other during the summer, you'll always keep in touch, and things will always go back to the way they were when you move back to school.

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.
