What I Learned At My First Cavs Game

I'm not from the Cleveland area, so moving here was a new experience. The longer I live and work in Cleveland, the more I grow to love it. Part of living in Cleveland is becoming a Cleveland sports fan, and believe me, this is an easy task. From the Cleveland Indians to the Cavaliers, it's easy to become a fan. Except the Browns, that will never happen. So after experiencing the Cleveland Cavaliers first hand, specifically a playoff game, here's what I learned.

There's a lot of energy. It's nearly impossible to not be excited at a Cavs game. Yes, this was a playoff game, but that doesn't change the fact that everyone is excited. Everyone is there to support a team that they love, and the excitement is up from the beginning all the way to the end.

Cavs fans have a great sense of humor. For example, when a picture of Nickelback comes on the Jumbotron that's your cue to boo. I definitely laughed whenever a picture of something everyone hated came up and everyone would yell and boo.

People are extremely friendly. You're all there to support your favorite team, and therefore, you're all cheering for the same reason. HIgh-fives all around, but not only that, words of encouragement too. Everyone's your friend at a Cavs game, unless you're there for the other team, then get the hell out.

If the game is at Quicken Loans, then you'll never get out of Cleveland at a reasonable time. If fans can't make it to the game they sure as hell make it to a nearby bar to watch anyway. Downtown Cleveland is packed during any game; home or away, Cleveland fans go big.

You'll leave wanting more. My first Cavs game came and went all too quickly. You will leave definitely leave a Cavs game wanting more. I left this game just as excited as I was to go to it. At this game, I learned that sports really bring people together. It doesn't matter who you are, if you love and support the same team, everyone around you is a friend.

Altogether I learned that it's easy to become a Cleveland sports fan. The energy, the excitement, the environment; it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, go to a Cavalier game and you will become a fan.

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.
