Being A Sports Fan In Georgia

Time after time, sports fans in Georgia are let down by their teams.

Being A Sports Fan In Georgia
James Emery

Being let down by somebody hurts. It hurts because you invest time and effort into them and they go onto hurt you in some shape or form. Afterwards, you feel as if it all went to waste. The energy exerted into making that person happy could have been utilized somewhere else. What could possibly let you down and hurt more than being let by a person?

All sports fans will say the same thing, being let down by a person is nothing compared to being let down by your favorite sports team. Sports lovers would rather put lemon juice onto papercuts instead of watching their team lose. Look at the Super Bowl. Ask a Falcons fan how they feel and I know for sure that they are still depressed about their team letting their lead slip away in the second half. (I am personally a Falcons fan and not only I am depressed about the Falcon’s loss, but I have also boycotted all sport’s networks because I am tired of them bringing up the Super Bowl.)

The worst part is being part of a city that continuously lets you down. If you are a resident of Georgia, you understand the pain. Atlanta sports teams let their fans down year after year. The Falcons losing the Super Bowl the way that they did fit into the Atlanta mold. The sport teams of this state build great teams and then fail to deliver championships. The Falcons had a historic great offense that had a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl. All Falcons fans, including myself, could taste Super Bowl glory, but like clockwork, the Falcons went on to let all slip away. Our hearts were crushed. The Braves and Hawks both have done the same. They build teams that appear like they can dominate their sport and then fail to achieve at the highest level. Between the two, they have only brought Atlanta one championship. Simply, it hurts to be an Atlanta sports fan.

Do not worry, Atlanta sports teams. What your fans lack in the ability to brag about championships, they make up for with their loyalty. Even with all the losses and let downs, your fans still be there to tomahawk chop at the new Suntrust Stadium and rise up at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta’s love for its sports can never be broken, no matter how many times things go wrong. One thing is for sure, if you guys decide to change you ways and make it rain championships in Atlanta, the city will not mind one bit.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
