An Open Letter To Cam Newton

Most overrated player.

An Open Letter To Cam Newton
USAFTW

Cam Newton,

I would like to start this out by saying I am glad you lost the Super Bowl, I hope it taught you a lesson. One season does not define who you are. You've been a part of the NFL since 2011 and it has taken years to make yourself a household name. Congrats on becoming a huge part of the league. I really do mean it. Although you did not go about it the right way.

Just because you are having one good season does not make you the best thing to happen to the NFL. It does not allow you to go around showboating, taking selfies during the game and being an all around disrespectful player. It was very interesting to watch how you acted when the tables were turned during the last game of the season. I am sad to say it but it did bring a little joy to watch you fumble the ball for a Denver touchdown or to see you get tackled just to start rolling on the ground looking like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum.

You walked out on your own postgame press conference. You gave very short rude answers and then walked out after not even three minutes, someone who loved to talk was shut up very quickly. Whether you were upset about the game or just couldn't listen to Denver players talking about their amazing win, I hope this taught you a lesson. I hope this taught you not to disrespect the game.

I would love to give major credit to the entire Broncos team. I can't imagine how hard it was not to give you a taste of your own medicine. They showed you how to be a professional team, they beat you by 14 points and acted professional all the way to the very end.

I hope you have now learned your lesson, hopefully next year you can play just as well and earn a spot back in the Super Bowl. Maybe you wouldn't have been so upset this past Sunday if you had appreciated how great of a season you had instead of taking it for granted. Maybe you'll do it right next time. Better luck next season Superman, until then do us all a favor and please stop "dabbing".

Sincerely,

Someone who has lost all respect for you.

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.
