Why Boxers Are Dope

Hi there. Nana Addae again. I just wanted to dedicate this week to the importance of boxers in an open letter. I'm opening wide up, but like, in a letter. Both the dog and the profession. I just wanted to write this week about how much I love them. You know why? Do you know how much luck it takes to be born a dog that can be named Mike Tyson, because it's like, a boxer dog, and Mike Tyson is a boxer? Man, I wish I were a dog, but a boxer, and not any other dog. Why do they call them boxers anyway?

So, why do I love boxing and the dog known as the boxer? To begin, I think it's a really interesting sport that involves throwing hella hands, but with ultimate finesse. It's really an art if you think about it; in Mexico it's the second most popular sport after soccer. Even though it's (apparently) a dying sport, it definitely holds its weight in its rooted history and sportsmanship. Really unrelated, but have y'all seen "Mike Tyson Mysteries," though? Really good show, 7.7/10 would definitely recommend it.

So why are the dog boxers dope? I mean look at this lil nugget. I had to Google a photo of my dude over here but accidentally Googled "boxer god" first. I got it eventually.

I mean look at my lil dude over here. Props for being cute and cool. I like your style, dawg.

To wrap it up, though, you know the last cool thing about boxers? They have a really cool day dedicated to them called "Boxing Day" that's right after Christmas. Basically, a bunch of silly billies come together and box a whole bunch, whopping each other decent. It's kind of like a last minute Christmas present. I like to box. I want to go boxing now.

(Jokes aside, Boxing Day is the day people get their presents for Christmas and it's celebrated mainly outside of America. No one really boxes. I mean, you could. If you want to, we can always box. I'm always ready. Catch me posted up by the Jean Yawkey Center, Emmanuel College kids. I'm always down to box. I wish I knew how to box though).

I'll catch you guys next week.

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.
