The Flyers showed their new mascot to the world earlier this week. And it had some interesting backlash to say the least. For one, its name is Gritty, already not setting the standard super high. He is literally an orange thing with fur, there really is no other way to describe it at this point. Its been a few days since he was introduced and he has taken the hockey world by storm. Its all anyone is talking about, even the penguins and the panthers have made jokes at it. The mascot looks like everything else, but what it actually, a mascot.

1. The inside guts of a pumpkin

Perfect for halloween, not so perfect for the NHL

2. Annoying Orange 

Another orange thing with a face, perfect

3. Animal from the muppets 

Someone explained gritty as "Animal's deadbeat dead" and honestly I see it

4.That big orange thing from "Looney tunes"

I have no idea what that thing is and I have no idea what Gritty is

5. A ZZ Top beard 

Actually the beard is less terrifying than this

6. The Orange, weird brother of the Grimace from McDonalds

I didn't even know he had a name, but again he's even less terrfying than gritty

7. The Canadien's mascot if he got into hard drugs 

The canadien's mascot is an upstanding member of society who kids love, Gritty is not any of those things

Honestly this just describes how we all feel about Gritty

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.
