Saturday night, fans, students and faculty watched the Fredonia boy's hockey team turn the rink pink.

In Steele Hall on January 21, the 11th annual Pink the Rink charity game took place.

This year the event raised over $9,000 for the American Cancer Society of Western New York. Overall the total amount raised for the event is over $75,000. The crowd of nearly 800 paid between $7 and $2 for tickets which was put toward the donation.

The Blue Devils had a strong victory against Post University winning 15-1.

For each Pink the Rink match the Blue Devils have donated pink hockey jerseys and socks. The jerseys have the names of loved ones, groups, and others in their fight against all kinds of cancers.

I managed to talk to a few of the fans who were taking part in the game.

I first interviewed Jessica Kessler who was there with her sisters from her sorority she is a part of, Sigma Gamma Phi.

Jessica stated "I think that it is an incredible experience to watch the community come together to support and raise money for breast cancer."

It's safe to say that these kind of charity events really make an impact on the lives of others.

Another fan I interviewed was Daniel Luong who plays saxophone for the band. "It's great. I have played for this event before and it's always very exciting."

Overall the game was very exciting. If you're unable to attend the game there is also an option to watch online.

There were three total fights in the match and they were broken up quickly. The main fight was when Fredonia's goalie ended up being targeted and hit during the match.

Another interesting part of the match was when the puck flew into the stands and managed to hit a girl. She was not hurt badly and laughed about it after. She also got to keep the puck.

To keep the fans riled up staff were giving out free pizzas and shirts. It was a great way to make the game more enjoyable.

Overall the game was a great success and I'm sure next year's game is going to be even better.

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.
