The best but most underrated sport.

8 Reasons To Love Hockey
Street Hockey HQ

We all have a weakness for one sport that a loved one or best friend might play, but overall, hockey is the best. Hockey is a fast-moving sport and it will never leave you bored if you're following the puck back and forth down the ice, hearing the noise of the skates carving into the ice, or even hearing the players chirp at each other while sitting on the bench.

1. The excitement you feel once your favorite player makes a goal.

The overreaction that comes from them makes you smile ear to ear. Whether they throw their fists up in the air or just face plant on the floor.

2. How crazy they act.

No matter what, you will always catch a hockey player doing something crazy and or stupid. This can go from chirping at other players or even acting tough against someone who is bigger than them.


3. The fights.


Sure, it might hurt to watch your favorite player get punched right in the face but hey, it's exciting. Once the gloves and thehelmet come off you know to grab the popcorn and scream for your favorite as loud as you can.

4. It gives you the reason to drink hot chocolate and watch your favorite player.

This is a win-win situation.

5. The shootouts.

Honestly, it is the most stressful event of any hockey fan's life but in the end, it's so worth it when your player is on the ice one on one with the goalie.

6. The rivalries.

They get intense. You never want to miss a rivalry game because you know it will end up with a huge fight in the end - even in College Hockey.

7. The players have the best hair.

My most favorite thing is being able to look at hair that looks way better than yours, even though they have a helmet on.

8. Watching them celebrate their win at the end of the game.

Seeing the happy expressions after all the hard work is done.

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.
