Ode to Preseason

This is a really silly poem about how sore I am from preseason.

Here is a poem about how sore I am from preseason:

My body aches.


My arms.

Oh arms,

In which I use to pick things up.


My wrist,

The one that got hit at practice.

Poor wrist.

For it cannot bend or grasp,

Which is really becoming a pain in my ass.


Speaking of which,

Sitting is impossible without hearing a cry from my thighs.

"Help, Help!" They say...

Wondering why they just can't collapse and cry.


My toes..

Oh poor piggies.

Small and defenseless.

And beaten upon day after day.

I have already said my goodbyes,

To that small black and blue on my nail bed

for it shall be laid to rest soon.


My back must always be cracked

or else it'll go out of whack.


I beg and beg,

someone please roll out my muscles.

Over and over

My muscles cry.


Lastly,

my brain.

Oh poor squishy thing,

little mushy thing.

Each fall or blow takes away all of the smart things.


However, this is all okay,

because I love the sport that I play.

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.
