6 reasons to watch the world cup

In This Article:

Once every four years, the world has the pleasure of watching men play soccer. It really is a blessing to us all.

If you disagree now, you won't in just a few finger scrolls.

Yes, believe it or not, there is more to it than watching Messi or Ronaldo. Crazy concept!

While it's happening in Russia, it's available on TV, so here are six reasons, in no particular order, to tune-in to the World Cup.

1. Butts

Pictures speak a thousand words... need I say more?

2. Quality Soccer

This one is for the real soccer fans. The World Cup is a great way to admire your idols as they embarrass your enemies' idol. These guys will also make you feel better that you did not make your high school soccer team. There really are people out there with better skill... sorry.

3. Not Quality Soccer

If real soccer isn't your thing, this one will still give you a little bit of happiness. Watching grown men throw themselves on the floor and whine like a 7-year-old is quite a sight to see. I think a middle school girl could hold her own better than some of these men.

4. Pleasing To The Eye

Gerard Piqué. Matt Hummels. Ramadan Sobhi. André Silva. Fahad Al-Muwallad. Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Go ahead and look them up. Watch their game. You can thank me later.

5. Funny Faces From The Crowd

People watchers!! This one is for you! Nothing is better than watching people's reactions in the crowd when something happens on the field. A soccer game can reallyyy be life changing, or so they act like it.

6. Countries Come Together

Thirty-two countries meet up every four years to battle it out at one of the world's most competitive sport tournaments. You and your rivals could never.

Now that I have thoroughly convinced you to watch a World Cup soccer game, go turn one on and enjoy before it ends!

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.
