Friday Night Lights

High School football has become bigger and bigger over the years. Not only do we focus on the game but there's a lot more that goes into the game day preparation. I want to give you a run down of how my game day goes.

1. The day before:

- Get dressed up with themed clothes for the week.

- Your costume has to be on point! It's my senior year and I must go all out on every dress up day.

- GO BIG OR GO HOME.

Game day:

2. Pre-game football breakfast:

-The football team and cheerleaders all eat breakfast together at a local church who bless all of us with a wonderful meal.

- There is always a motivational speech by someone who gets everyone hyped for the game.

3. Pictures:

- We meet in the parking lot to take pictures in our costumes.

- This is where all the memories are made.

- Must have the best lighting for every picture.

- Post all pictures on any source of social media

4. Pep Rally:

- At the end of the day, we have a lit (fun) pep-rally. This is where we have a spirit line for the team and all types of relays and prizes.

- We have 45 minutes to get as turn't up (excited) as we possibly can before we go to the game.

5. GAME TIME:

- We get to the game hours early.

-The students have a tailgate including food, corn hole, loud music, and fun.

- The cheerleaders hang up spirit signs and get the crowd ready for the game.

- The boys pick a crazy slogan to paint on their chest.

-The student section fills up : seniors MUST be on the bottom, everyone else at the top. (This becomes an all out war, underclassman never wants to move)

- We cheer on the team to a victory or a loss

-We sing the alma mater with honor and pride and we wave our Austin flag in the air.

6. After the game:

- Dinner with all of my friends.

- Laughing and joking around at about eleven or twelve o'clock is the best part of the night.

7. Sleep:

- Have good night and rest.

- Get ready to do it all over again on the next Friday!

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.
