Being a Tennessee Fan in the BBN

I said, 'Its great to be a Tennessee Vol!!"

Being a Tennessee Fan in the BBN

"I said it's great to be a Tennessee VOL," is not something you expect to hear from a girl from Kentucky. I am one of the few exceptions. Being a Vol fan in the BBN is a real struggle. You get some pretty dirty looks and some nasty comments. It hasn't stopped me though and I still cheer on the Big Orange. There are many reasons being a Vol fan is the best. Here are a few.

1. Have you been to Neyland Football Stadium?!

Even if you are not a Tennessee fan, you should go watch your favorite team play Tennessee in Neyland. Its a huge stadium that holds over 100,000 people. If you are a Tennessee fan then it is fun sining "Rocky Top" at the top of your lungs with your closest 100,000 friends.

2. "Rocky Top"

If you live in the state of Kentucky and you have "Rocky Top" as your ringtone you will get dirty looks. Its the best song there is! There is nothing better than listening to the UT band playing this a million times during a game.

3. Peyton Manning

If you're a Tennessee fan, then you're a fan of Peyton Manning. Even if he wasn't drafted to your most favorite team in the NFL, you still rooted for him. You probably also was hoping he would come back to coach at Tennessee since his retirement. (I'm still holding out for that.)

4. You hate UK and its fans.

I literally just cannot deal with UK fans. They are the worst! All the care about is basketball. Many of them don't even support the football team and complain about how bad the football team is. They are also obnoxious and rude to you if you go watch Tennessee play at Kentucky.

5. Butch Jones

Coach Jones has recreated the Tennessee football program. Football game attendance and wins have gone up tremendously since Butch became coach.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
