Marcus Paige And Brice Johnson: The Perfect Duo

Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson, or "The Odd Couple" as Roy calls them: two incredible assets to the Carolina basketball team. Each one is individually a great player, but put them together, and that's when the magic happens. Their incredible dynamic has created amazing plays each game and has helped UNC make it into the Final Four.

Whether or not you like the Tar Heels, their amazing dynamic is pretty hard to deny.

Brice has been on fire this year, averaging 16.8 points per game in the regular season and dunking like no other. Not to mention the countless blocks he's had this season.

Marcus Paige, who has been known as Carolina's superstar for a few years, struggled with shooting slumps throughout the season, but during the Sweet 16, he proved to everyone that he still has it. In an interview he said that March would be a time for him to "start new, start fresh," and he sure meant it. Four straight three-pointers before the first commercial break against Indiana, and six of nine three-pointers total. He has now surpassed Michael Jordan on UNC's all-time scoring list.

Not only are Brice and Marcus amazing teammates, but they're best friends. They've lived together for four years and, according to their teammates, are "attached at the hip." If you need to see it for yourself, watch Marcus Paige give his senior speech and talk about his relationship with Brice (6:50).

We'll be sad to see them go when they graduate this fall, but we can't wait to see what's in store for them in the years to come. Because we all know they'll be doing great things.

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.
