8 Reasons Why UM > FSU: The Rivalry Continues.

It's truly all about the U.

8 Reasons Why UM > FSU: The Rivalry Continues.

This past weekend was definitely one to remember. A Cane in enemy territory was definitely an interesting experience. However, two days in Tallahassee just made me realize that I LOVE being a Cane. Here's why:

1. There are a wide range of things to do within Miami itself.

There is literally something for every kind of person in Miami and chances are you can find whatever it is that you need within five miles. In Tallahassee, there is literally nothing.

2. Our fans vs. their fans.

I'm all for football trash talk, and I'm well aware that the U does a lot of that. However, throwing beer bottles and cups full of beer at people walking by just for wearing their team's colors is not Miami's way of doing things.

3. Our city doesn't become unnavigable after a game.

Literally all the streets are shut down over there and you can't even get around.

4. Uber here is a reasonable price.

128$ for an Uber of less than 10 miles is actually the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

5. Our nightlife.

While our clubs may not be as close to campus as theirs, ours are not located in shopping centers. They also don't close at 2 am.

6. Our school pride.

The Noles have great school spirit. They fill up their stadium and uniformly do the chop, and I must admit it looks pretty bad ass. But, for the small student section that UM had within that high stadium, we made more noise than them. You could hear our chants far and wide.

7. We can tailgate without a frat.

While frat tailgates are also a big thing in Miami, they aren't the only thing. At FSU, if you aren't involved in some sort of greek life, your tailgate will most likely be a small tent at a gas station/side of the road.

8. 5 > 3.

Five national championships (6 really, depending on who you ask) is still better than 3. No matter what the outcome of that game was, it was a good one and every single UM fan left that stadium just as proud to stand by the U.

So in conclusion, Bye Tallahassee. See you never.

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.
