Halfway Point Blues For The New York Jets

What will the second half of the season bring to us.

Halfway Point Blues For The New York Jets

Its that time of year again in East Rutherford. The Jets secondary is diminishing, the stadium seat prices are lowering, and the only thing the crowd gets excited for is the idea of the young backup quarter coming in to play. The feeling isn't new to us.

As we hit the half way point, the Jets are 3-7, and hope of playoffs are basically impractical. The season began with high hopes as the Jets resigned Ryan Fitzpatrick, and added a versatile weapon in Matt Forte to the backfield, but the players just haven't performed to their best. Ryan Fitzpatrick has displayed little to no Fitz-Magic, as he has had his moments where he shines, but has also been making some of the most bonehead passes and already has thrown 13 interceptions with only 8 touchdowns this season. As Fitz struggles, the main offensive skill players like Brandon Marshall need to see the ball more in order to put some points on the board.

One of the few bright spots on the team this year has been the backfield duo of Forte and Powell. As Forte gets the majority of carries, and Powell works more as the third down running back, Forte has already produced 8 total touchdowns and over 700 rushing yards. The Jets runners have given the fans something to be excited for as we watch on Sundays.

As the year progresses, we will continue to watch each Sunday, and root for gang green. Even as the season looks to be over, there are many questions that must be asked. Is it the end for Fitz-Magic in New York? Is Bryce Petty the future of our team? And most importantly: will we keep Todd Bowles as head coach?

Many are glad that the Jets have a bye this week, just so we don't have to see them play. Deep down, we will continue to root and stand by our favorite team.

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.
