5 Reasons UK Student's Can't Wait For Basketball Season
Twitter | @KentuckyMBB

If you haven’t noticed already, I am a diehard. I love Kentucky Basketball. So much that I regularly capitalize “Basketball” to honor it. I know, I know. I’m crazy, but I love my Cats. What else can I say? Here are a few things to look forward to this basketball season:

1. The possibility of a National Championship

UK is a serious title contender this year. Crazy. I am not going to miss a single second of it.

2. Knowing that we are seeing future NBA players

I love that I get to say that I remember seeing NBA players play at UK. I love that they usually come back to UK to visit. I love that UK puts so many players in the NBA. BBNBA!

3. Bonding with the BBN

UK sports is family bonding to me, with my biological family and my BBN family. I love the memories and laughter that it brings. Already this season, I was watching a game on tv. The announcer said that a player on the team (who shall not be named) likes to cook. I overheard a girl giggle and say, “He can cook for me anytime!”

4. Singing “My Old Kentucky Home” at the end of games

I love UK and I love Kentucky. Singing “My Old Kentucky Home” at the end of games is a great way for me to remember and to reflect on why I am at UK in the first place. It is a way for me to express my love for this state and school.

5. Eating ice cream at Rupp Arena

It’s just yummy. Enough said.

There is something for everyone at a UK game, no matter how much of a fan you are. It is a great experience that you don’t want to miss. Enjoy every moment of this team and season, because it will be gone faster than you think.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
