Another Blue October For The Kansas City Royals
Cassidi Sterrett

As of August 23rd 2016 the Kansas City Royals have won eight straight game,s which puts them 4 and a half games out of the wild card spot. As most Kansas City natives know, the Royals have been having a rough season with injuries, and pitching issues. Having won eight back to back games, royals fans wonder if there is still a spark to get their boys in blue back into the playoffs for the third year in a row.

2015, a great year for a lot of people throughout the world, but for Kansas City fans it meant total comeback time. The Kansas City Royals had made it to the World Series in 2014 where they lost in game seven to the San Fransisco Giants. What they did gain that year was passion, teamwork and finally breaking the 29 year playoff drought. Although they did not hold the champion title, they came back in 2015 hungry for first place. The team clinched the division with no problem, but the first round of playoffs did not come so easy for the Royals.

The Royals faced the Houston Astros, who had a fantastic year going 86-76. It all came down to game number four. Houston led the series 2-1, and was winning by 4 runs in the top of the eighth inning. To most MLB fans, they would switch the channel, or turn off the TV and call this a game over, but for Kansas City fans the eyes stayed glued to the TV screen, the rally caps came out and the royals fans prayed for a comeback. Of course, that is just what they got. Houston's bullpen collapsed and the royals strung hits together and just kept the line moving. After the 8th, the Royals had scored eight runs helping them take the lead by one run. They won this game 9-6, and they also won the series to make a comeback of a lifetime to stay in the race to the World Series. As most know how this story ends, the Royals did indeed win the 2015 World Series Championship.

With all of these amazing Royals comebacks, it is hard to count them out of a playoff spot this 2016 year. The royals continue there series with New York, and then play the Detroit Tigers at home. The Royals finish off their season October 2nd against Clevland. As the season is coming to an end, is it still possible for the Kansas City Royals to make the playoffs? Royals fans can only hope.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
