5 Reasons To Actually Go To UK Games As A Student

I have noticed that UK student attendance has been WAY down at Rupp Arena this semester. Attendance will probably increase when conference play starts, but still. When you reflect on your college years, you will wish that you had been there to see some of the greatest UK teams of all time under a literal hall of fame coach. Here are a few of the top reasons to go to UK Basketball games:

1. A chance to see a potential National Championship team play

Seriously. How cool is that?

2. A chance to see the team before some of them leave for the NBA

A lot of the UK players are one and dones, and this is the only year that many of them will be on campus.

3. Tickets are $10 each

I know. I know. The student ticket price was doubled. It annoys me, too. But still. A $10 ticket is still the cheapest ticket that you will EVER find. Plus a chance to stand within 15 feet on the court in the erupption zone? How could you pass that up?

4. A chance to rock Kentucky Blue

Access your inner Drake. Come on. You know you want to.

5. A chance to make new friends

I have made so many new friends at the games, especially with my fellow regulars. You can never have enough friends!

I know that some of you many be tired of hearing me talk about UK sports and why you should actually go to the games. I know. I’m tired of it too, but it needs to be said. Go to the games. I know that watching the games on your couch is easier, but it is not nearly as fun. Don’t miss out!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
