8 Stages Of Being A Footy Fan
www.ronaldocr7.com

It all starts on a random Saturday or Sunday; the sun is up, you're still tired from the party yesterday, but luckily you had your alarm sent on for the footy match. You ask yourself: why are the fixtures so early? 8:30am?

Like any other fan, you either watch the pre-match commentary or take another power nap before the team enters the field. The beautiful game is about to start, you pray for a win.

1. First, you look at your phone for the time of the match. You're excited, it's the weekend. You update your Fantasy team.

Stress level: none

2. Then, the game is an hour from starting. You grab a beer or some food and text your friends.

Stress level: Just a little

3. Game starts, 20 mins in. Yellow card to one of your players, penalty. You shout: F off ref! Are you blind?!

They score... 1-0

Stress level: Agitated

4. Nothing happens, halftime. Time to refill your drink, text your friends about the game.

Stress level: "We've played alright, we can come back" mentality

5. Second half starts, GOAAAAAL! You shout: Get in!! Yes!!

You tweet the obvious: goallllll 1-1 *sees 20 people typing the same thing*

Stress level: "I'm happy, for now... Let me enjoy this moment"

6. Stupid sub in the 62th minute... ffs, really?

*At this moment, you're the top rated analyst, you doubt the manager's choices, everything*

Stress level: Stevie G's life after he slipped vs. Chelsea

7. YES... yes? Ref claims the goal as offside. For a second you were about to do the Alan Pardew dance, but the ref destroyed your mood.

Stress level: Brazil vs. Germany... Yes, that exact match you're thinking about

8. The match ends in a tie. Your team has created 12 chances, didn't score a second goal, you're disappointed.

Stress level: You consider becoming like a Liverpool fan, "next year is our year"

Elite mentality mate.

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.
