Gronk, Patriots Nation Thanks You

Rob Gronkowski, what a guy, what a player. It has been some of the best last nine seasons for the Patriots and those good times could not have been done without the one and only greatest tight end football player to ever play in the NFL. Whether you hate the Patriots, like most of America, or are a die-hard fan, like me, there is no denying his capability in the game of football. But, after nine beautiful glory years, the man has finally called it quits and Patriots fans around the country are morning. Here is how the Patriots fans are feeling about this depressing change.

First of all, Patriots nation needs time to grieve.

When the news first came out, we were upset, angry, screaming to ourselves "WHY," but as time has passed we have been able to properly come to terms with the fact that we will no longer see a Gronk spike ever again. We can finally come to terms with the fact that we must see a season without seeing one of Gronkowski's legendary catches.

Gronkowski is a guaranteed and entrance to the football hall of fame but it does not mean we were done seeing the legend at work. Even though all of the seasons where he was out for multiple games on end due to his many injuries, he was always there in the crowds. We will miss seeing his goofy face during an almost impossible touchdown catch. We patriots nation will continue to grieve for years to come.

Although we understand his physical body can not handle the physical pressures playing football puts on your body but that still does not mean we don't wish for him to just play one more season. We will respect the decision but we will be upset. The Patriots may never replace you but we must accept a new player with open arms.

Gronkowski is still one of the best football players of all time and we will also cherish your legendary moments on and off the field. Patriots nation, we will heel and move on because we are fans of the greatest football team of all time.

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.
