Fantasy Football

Not Just a Game

26
Fantasy Football

For all of you girls out there, here is a little advice around football season: fantasy football may seem like a game to you, like Candy Crush, but it is a way of life and involves immense time and focus.

1. It becomes too competitive

Whether its with friends, co-workers, or even your parent, the competition gets heated and cut-throat.

2. It requires tons of commitment and time

Between drafting players, tweaking rosters for injuries, and strengthening your team, you can find that your guy spends as much time at work as he does on his fantasy page.

3. It is an extra excuse

If your guy runs out of excuses to watch the game over going to dinner with the in-laws, having a fantasy team is an extra excuse, especially if it is a money league.

4. In a money league, its more stressful and there will be many cash exchanges

You may notice several additional withdraws in the savings account during football season. There is the fee to join, to add players, drop players, trade players, and of course there is the occasional wager between players.

5. Most of all, it is an addiction

Whether he just started playing this season or has been playing since he first watched football, it...will...not...cease (so do not try).

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.
