Soccer Transfer Roundup #1

Ever since the transfer window opened, many players have been switching clubs and finding new homes for when their transfer request goes through. Few players actually stay at the same club for their entire career, so it is always exciting to see where players end up going, but not always for the best reasons, including money or fame. These are just some of my thoughts about what's recently going on and I would love to hear from you guys that are soccer fans about where you think certain players will leave and go or if some players should stay at their current club. Here's the latest:

1. N'Golo Kante to Chelsea

The fact that N'Golo Kante had a strong summer with his French National team side making it to the final, but was suspended in the quarter final leg against Iceland, which France thankfully triumphantly won without him 5 goals to a lesser 2 Iceland side. Pre-season and the International Champions Cup later this summer, beginning on July 27th for Chelsea against Liverpool in California, will only tell if Kante will be able to get in the very strong Chelsea first team squad for this 30 million Euros signing. A good way of telling if he will fit will be to watch this game and see if he rises to the occasion, which I think he will because of also his strong Leicester side that won the Barclays Premier League this past season.

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United

Ibrahimovic has made big strides in the football world, especially at Paris Saint Germain, which was surprising when he left the strong French club for the British powerhouse of a club, Manchester United, which has seen Wayne Rooney struggling this past season. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played for other powerhouse clubs and been successful, such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, FC Barcelona, and Juventus. I think with this signing, other players, such as Martial, Herrera and Rooney, will have to fight for a spot on the team lineup. There have been also reports of Juan Mata leaving because of the newly appointed manager Jose Mourino, not taking a liking to him ever since he was at Chelsea.

3. Sadio Mane to Liverpool

Mane had a strong season with Southampton, making it a pivotal side to be reckoned with, and definitely showed that against Liverpool this past season. The pacey center fielder really worked hard on and off the ball to score pivotal goals for his club. Jurgen Klopp formed a strong connection with him this past season, so it only makes sense that he would move to the historical Anfield, where hopefully he will earn a first team player spot with hard-work and dedication. As I said before, we will see if he plays at Liverpool's next preseason game against Chelsea in Pasadena, California.

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.
