5 Reasons To Love The Dodgers
nymag.com

Growing up in Los Angeles, a lot of my childhood was spent inside the Dodgers stadium. Every family has that sport they follow and for mine that was baseball. My dad grew up playing baseball as for his brothers, and when he moved to Los Angeles he instantly became a Dodger fan. I have never had interest in sports, but as an older sister to an 11 year old brother I’ve attended plenty of little league games to finally love the sport. Although my interest in the sport was always shaky, I always had love for the team. Now as a young adult, I have also spent a lot of my free time attending Dodger games with my sister. If you are like me and have a rocky relationship with sports, I’m going to give you a few reasons why you should be a fan of the Dodgers this 2016 season.

1. Kershaw

You will be able to witness his beautiful pitching. I promise if you sit and really watch him pitch, it will blow your mind. From his stance to his actual throwing, his performance is absolutely flawless.


2. Corey Seager

Dodgers have lots of eye candy this season. I can go on about what a handsome stud he is, for days. But other than those great good looks, he's the Dodger’s #1 prospect and only 22 years old. He has scored 7 home-runs this season so far and earned himself a starting position as short-stop.


3. Trayce Thompson

Also, a total stud! Some may not know, but he is Klay Thompson’s (from the Golden State Warriors) younger brother. He has also scored 7 home-runs for the Dodgers this season and is looking to earn himself a starting position as an outfielder.


4. Dave Roberts

Last season many fans were upset over their previous manager Don Mattingly and requested he be fired. Dodgers hired Roberts and he became the first minority manager for the franchise. He is also very cool, calm, and collective during each game, he’s great at keeping his composure during rough times.


5. Vin Scully

If you know Dodgers, then you know this guy. He is the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers and has been since they were the Brooklyn Dodgers. He is now 88 years old, and will be retiring after this season.

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.

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.
