Knight-Thon Announces New Theme And Goal


"We Are Limitless. We Are Timeless. We Are Daring. We Are 20 Years Strong. WE ARE KNIGHT-THON! And we are excited to announce that this year our goal is $820,000 FOR THE KIDS!! #KT2016 #WeAreKT #820K"

For 20 years, Knight-Thon has raised money to donate to Greater Orlando Children's Miracle Network.

Last year they exceeded their fundraising goal of $500,000 with a record-breaking $688,049.19 raised. This year they are back with a goal of $820,000 and a new theme of "We Are Knight-Thon."

Knight-Thon will be held on April 2, 2016. Multiple dance groups from across the UCF campus will dance for 20 hours, raising money for a local Children's Miracle Network. Knight-Thon is number seven in the Miracle Network Dance Marathon in the nation and the largest student-run philanthropy at the University of Central Florida.

Fundraising for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals helps children's hospitals, medical research and raises community awareness of children's health issues. It is “For the Kids” (FTK), something many students say throughout the year and represent.

If you wish to participate in Knight-Thon, sign up on their website and keep up with them through Twitter and Facebook!

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.
