5 Ways To Explain Any And All Villanova Losses To Your Friends

In This Article:

When you're friends ask you why the Wildcat's lost to Marquette, you need to respond somehow. Here are some of my favorites. and individually unique ways to explain exactly why we lost that game.

1. "I mean... a bunch of our best players went to the NBA so we can't be expected to be as good as we were last year."

You need to let people know that we lost some amazing players after winning the championship, that way they know why we are playing a little differently.

2. "Yeah well after every championship win we need a rebuilding year. Just like every team!"

Yeah, so you really want to use some good vocabulary like rebuilding year. Of course, we have a ton of great veteran players on our team, but we are also trying to develop a ton of new stars alongside them.

3. "Well you see what happens is, once you win a championship, a bunch of great players get drafted to the NBA and so we have to develop a whole new team"

Really drill it home that we won a the NCAA championship last year, if you can, mention the 2016 win too. The more you flex, the less affected you seem by the loss.

4. "Yeah I mean... we lost, but if you think about, we came really close considering we started almost completely fresh from last year."

You always want to make sure you acknowledge that Villanova is CONSTANTLY exceeding expections. Win or lose, we blow the critiques out of the water, we can handle a loss. We will bounce back. (Plus we are training a bunch of new players to become as great as the current and past players on our amazing amazing team)

5. "We kind of have to expect to lose a few games considering our team is so new. Really, we are doing wayyy better than any other team could if they were in our situation, you know, being in a rebuilding year and all that."

...

No matter what you say. Just make sure to make it clear that even when we lose, we are better than the other team. Points.. what are they? We are WILDCATS. We are VILLANOVA. We are INCREDIBLE. Even when we take Ls we still come out on topo. Besides, it's like, a rebuilding year or something like that.

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.
