UF and FSU Change Colors and it's Traumatizing

UF and FSU Change Colors and it's Traumatizing

Well, almost.

Imgur user eharvey328 has taken college football rivalries to another level, using some creative editing skills to horrify college football fans everywhere by placing teams in their rival’s colors. There are some pretty dark corners of the Internet, but this is about as demented as it gets.

Team colors are one of the most important part’s of a school’s identity. They have their own histories, their own names, even their own mythology.

Red isn’t just red: its crimson, scarlet and cardinal. Blue is Carolina Blue, purple is Royal Purple, and orange is Burnt Orange.

Colors having special names is not a new concept. Go shopping for paint and you’ll find thousands of different names from captivating teal to autumn cover. Sometimes it’s for the sake of art, other times just for a more accurate description. But in all honesty no one really cares.

When it comes to team colors though, everyone cares. Fans bleed their colors for a reason. Many Gator fans refuse to buy a red car, or wear maroon (excuse me, garnet) colored clothing. No true Ohio State fan can stand to be in a room with any combination of deep blue and bright yellow.

So seeing your most hated rival in your team’s colors is fairly traumatizing.

Florida and Florida State were not the only victims, with teams from the Big 12, Big 10, ACC and SEC also getting the treatment.

Ohio State – Michigan

Texas - Oklahoma

The Red River Rivalry as it never should be seen:

And I never thought I would say these words, but…

Orange and Blue have never looked more hideous.

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.
