We've made it through what most would call Blue October. Although extremely inconsistently, we still made it. The St. Louis Blues currently sit in the 7th position in our league. You learn to love this team through everything although you might be extremely angry at them currently.

This team is one that you have to make the choice to stick with regardless of the fact we still do not have a Stanley Cup to our name.

You are there for the highs and the lowest of the lows. 

The Blues are a really good hockey team, remember that. As good as they are, they have a tendency of being inconsistent. So being there for the highs and lows can often get difficult.

Vladimir Tarasenko is a crucial player. 

The Blues acquired a gift when Vladimir Tarasenko joined their team. This man is a scoring machine and what some would call an angry Russian bear. Look up videos of him fighting on the ice.

When he is out for the count, the whole team dynamic changes. Something almost seems off when he isn't on the ice.

You smack talk a little more than you should sometimes. 

When you're a fan, you are a ride or die fan. In the hockey league there is no time to even be a fair-weather fan. So of course you're going to trash talk the opposition. However, the blues have issues in consistency which can lead to a person putting their foot in their mouth when the trash talking is followed by an abrupt loss.

You either love Jake Allen or you don't. No in between. 

So Jake Allen has been a Blues player for a very long time. During this time, he has seen the ups and downs of this team. However, many of the lows are often blamed on him since he is the goalie. Although he can be a key player when it matters, he often can waiver at other times.

We have 0 Stanley Cups. 

How hard do you think it is to be a fan of a team that is one of the oldest in the NHL and has NO Stanley Cups? Very, Very difficult. We have beaten teams at the start of their season after victory, yet we can't win a cup.

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.
