Saturday Superstitions

Football Saturdays in the south are holy. Everyone has their own game-day agenda that will probably never change. Win or lose, Saturdays are specifically superstitious.


1. Lucky chocolate.

Yes, trail mix has nuts and other healthy options, but the chocolate is obviously the best part. And naturally, all M&Ms except the orange and blue are unlucky.

2. The unlucky friends.

Every time they come in the room, your team throws an interception or the quarterback gets sacked. My family has personally banned two people from our property during any Auburn sporting event.

3. The tiger tail.

You know, those cars with a tacky, 11-year-old tail flying on the back of the car on the way to the game. But it has been to every home game and you don't leave home without it.

4. Lucky undergarments.

Well, you know.

5. Location, location, location.

If your team scores and you're upstairs, you stay upstairs. If they score while you're in the bathroom, you stay in the bathroom.

While some people are more superstitious than others, they all make up an equation for a great southern game day. War eagle anyways!

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.
