Now that football season is gearing up, I know there are people out there who're beginning to scour Pinterest for the best tailgating ideas.

Football is an important American past time, but so is food. So here are 5 cute and easy tailgating foods that will hopefully last time halftime.

1. Something cute, something simple: football pretzel rods!

This recipe, found at Sarah's Bake Studio, is not only simple but adorable. It's got the mix of sweet and salty, while also being completely in theme with the party. It's a great handheld snack, and one that will definitely keep the little ones at the party entertained, too.

2. Buffalo chicken skins: a perfect, spicy handheld.

Potato skins are practically a party staple. They can be found at any game-day party, as well as any sports bar during the off-season. These, though, found on Three Olives Branch's website, put a spin on the classic food by using buffalo chicken. It adds a little bit of spice to a dish that's all about the toppings!

3. Honey mustard snack mix: taking snacks to a whole new level.

This recipe, found at Julie's Eats and Treats, genuinely makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Football parties are all about hand-held foods, and this finger food is definitely going to get you coming back for more. The honey mustard flavor, combined with the chex mix, is definitely going to be a tangy treat that everybody will love!

4. Jalapeño guacamole: a classic, with a twist.

Just like the potato skins, this recipe puts a simple, yet awesome, twist on a party favorite. In this recipe, Cooking Divine, puts jalapeño peppers into the guacamole mix, for some extra oomph. It's sure to keep your guests on their toes!

5. And, finally, a dessert: football dirt cups.

Of course, you've got to have dessert for your guests! This one, found on The First Year, is a perfect one for your party. Not only is it an adorable football theme, but the clean up is easy, and it's pretty simple to make.

In the end, no matter what food you pick for your party, your guests are going to have fun. These foods, though...will blow your guests away!

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.

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.
