For those girls who want to be into football but don't know where to start

Football Can Be For Girls Too
Chapman University

I am a die hard NFL fan, New England Patriots all the way. Now, I know "everyone" hates them but oh well. I just want to bring up the stereotype that "only guys watch football"

Girls can watch football too. Even if you're not a "sports" fan there are other reasons to watch football. There are VERY attractive, tall, muscular, and athletic guys involved in football. The cheerleaders on the sideline are gorgeous. There is a sense of style each team holds. Press conferences are basically fashion shows. (Below is a picture of Carolina Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton in a press conference. Newton is mostly known for his dab and how he pulled the Panthers to the Super Bowl last year)

And, if you're a "political" person there is the whole ordeal with Kapernick and the politics behind him. Just the experience of watching football with friends and family is amazing.

Now if you ARE going to get into football, PLEASE don't just choose the winning team because they're popular, don't wait to choose a favorite team until Super Bowl, don't choose a team and then switch during the playoffs.

The NFL is split into two conferences the AFC (American Football Conference) and the NFC (National Football Conference). Each conference is split into divisions (East, North, South, and West).

Each team has a season record that's written as Win-Lose-Tie. The quarterbacks are the face of the team, when you see a quarterback their team falls on their back. Below is pictured a chart (that I typed up and screenshotted which is why there are those annoying red squigglies underneath some names and such) which has the Conference, Division, Team Name, Location, Week 12 Season Record (note Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles are playing right now (11/27) so their records are not up to date), and their Starting Quarterback on it (the Dallas Cowboys have another popular quarterback named Tony Romo but he has not been starting recently which he is why he is not on the list). If you want to do more research, which I HIGHLY recommend you doing you can let me know (comment below) or feel free to do so on your own.

Below is a map of the teams based off of location and what team the area "typically" pulls for, but please, look into the teams. I won't be mad if you pull for the team in your area, but do some research.

So, ladies, please take your time and do some research. Let me know if you need help getting into football. Don't let guys bring you down, when you can fantasize about rich NFL players.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
