The final week of college football was upon us, with everyone itching in anticipation for the epic rematch of Clemson versus Alabama on January ninth. Besides that, the bowl season is behind us. With ACC teams taking down the SEC (some of their seasons ending as badly as Arkansas) and Big 12 teams trying to make a statement to Big 10 teams, it was a season for the books.

First, we’ll discuss LSU's dominating win against Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson and the Louisville Cardinals. LSU won 29-9 after playing as one heartbeat-one team. LSUs defense shut down the Cardinals AND the Heisman Trophy winner with one interception, one safety, one fumble, and eight sacks. LSU also kept him to low 153 passing yards and his season low of 33 rushing yards. The Tigers also kept them to only field goals meaning for their first time all season the Cardinals never scored a touchdown. In addition to that, the Tigers defense came hungry and maintained them to only 11 first downs and only let them complete 2 out of 17 3rd down conversions. It was a great day for the Tiger family, but a devastating loss for the Heisman Trophy winner and the 9-4 Cardinals.

Next, we have Arkansas vs Virginia Tech. If you watched the first half chances are you turned off your T.V. because you thought it was going to be a complete blow-out. Unfortunately for the Razorbacks it was quite the opposite. They went the entire second half without scoring and losing 35-24 ending their season 7-6.

Finally, we have Clemson vs Ohio State. Many thought this would be a close game or one that went into overtime, but they could not be more wrong. All I can say is that Clemson wanted the rematch against Alabama for the National Championship and they did everything in their power to it. They did not only demolish the Buckeyes but they rolled right over them with a 31-0 win. Clemson secured their spot in the National Championship and will compete against Alabama on January 9th for the second year in a row. Who will win? Will Alabama prove they’re the best college football team once again or will Clemson finally bring down the SEC? Tune in on January ninth to find out and read about it January 16th!

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.
