This is the time of year that all sports fans rejoice. All the leagues come together to form one big October conglomerate of sports.

Baseball Postseason is in full swing (and it's been a doozy), college football is chaotic as always, and the NFL continues, as NBA has finally tipped off after one of the craziest offseason ever. Then there's college basketball on the horizon.

In celebration, I decided a good way to celebrate was to find some of the greatest sports commercials ever made. There's nothing like a goosebump inducing, inspiring, classic commercial to get you pumped for sports.

Most of these are basketball because, well, basketball is probably the easiest, most fun and consistent sport to make commercials for. Plus, the NBA just started. Let's begin, shall we?

1. Rule Yourself (Tom Brady, Under Armour)

It's Tom Brady. The Goat. Then it's an army of Tom Brady's. An army of Goats. Dang.

2. Come Out of Nowhere (Lebron James, Nike)

This is from the beginning of last season but it still gives me chills. I'll never forget Lebron's career defining moment. I'll never forget where I was or how I felt when he flew through the air to block that shot in the 2016 NBA Finals. Sports, man.

3. Failure (Michael Jordan, Nike)

Michael Jordan spitting wisdom about how failure leads to success? Yes please.

4. Hittin' Em (Russell Westbrook, Jordan)

This is also a hype video from last season, but it still jams today. Russell Westbrook is still doing what he wants as the reining MVP and Kevin Durant's departure from OKC is a little less damaging with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony joining the Thunder squad. Can Russ finally get his much deserved ring? I hope so. Thunder Up!

5. Ripple (Rory Mcllroy, Nike Golf)

Yeah, it's golf. I don't know what's going on in the golf world right now, but this commercial is too good not to include. It's no doubt one of the best sports commercials ever made. It's basically a very short film about Rory Mcllroy growing up watching his favorite golfer, Tiger Woods, and then playing with him when he becomes a pro golfer himself. Cue that story with the piano score and tears and chills and so many emotions ensue. Sports, man! There's magic in every sport.

6. Michael Jordan vs. Himself (Gatorade)

We're going to lighten it up again here. Old MJ pitted against younger MJ. Genius, Gatorade, just genius.

7. Don't Love me. Hate me. (Kobe Bryant, Nike)

I never hated Kobe. I never loved Kobe either, but he was good at basketball and I remember how cool this commercial was.

8. Together (Lebron James, Nike)

Lebron finally did it for Cleveland two years after this commercial.

9. Derek Jeter Farwell Ads Compilation (Nike/MLB/Gatorade)

This is three commercials in one video, because all of the farewell commercials to Derek Jeter in 2014 are classics. The Captain retired after the 2014 season and baseball still isn't the same.

10. Look Me in the Eyes- Become Legendary (Jordan)

This is probably the most motivational sports commercials ever, and a good one to end on.

There you go. Sports, man, they're so magical yet so real. It's the best sports time of the year. Let us relish in it. Postseason baseball today, NBA basketball tomorrow, college football on Saturday, NFL on Sunday. Wow.

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.
