Monmouth's Bench Steal The Spotlight For Celebrations

As the college basketball season gets into full swing, one team, unheard of by most, has been making waves for something unusual -- their bench celebrations. This season, Monmouth University's basketball team has pulled out impressive upsets over teams including UCLA, Notre Dame (ranked no. 17 at the time) USC, and Georgetown. However, rather than the team's starters and high scorers, Monmouth's bench players are the ones who have found fame with their over-the-top bench celebrations.

The bench is led by Daniel Pillari, Greg Noack, Louie Pillari, and Tyler Robinson, who meet after team practices to brainstorm new routines. Noack keeps a card with a list of celebrations in his sock that determine what they will do after the next big play.They've become so popular that cameras immediately zoom to the bench after the team scores. The Monmouth bench even has a Twitter account with over 12,000 followers. Former Wisconsin star and current Hornets center Frank Kaminsky III tweeted, "Monmouth's bench mob is my spirit animal." Check out some of this bench mob's most creative celebrations below.

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.
