Why College Sports Are Just More Fun To Watch

I love both professional and college sports, but I believe that college players have a lot more to prove.

Why College Sports Are Just More Fun To Watch
Business Insider

There are few levels in which you have to pass in order to get to professional, and the best one to watch has to be college for basketball, and football.

These two sports are the top watched sports for men's college and it is really great watching it. Unlike the professionals, all of the players aren't getting paid and they are playing so one day they can be professionals. It is great watching them because of how much they really put on a show and because of their determination for it.

I have been watching a lot of college football this year and it is crazy watching how these players differ from the pros. Watching the pros play sometimes is very bad like how they are not giving it their all because they are already there and already getting paid. These guys have taken some spots from guys that actually really want this not for the paycheck, but for the pure thrill of being there. Don't get me wrong, there are some showboaters in college, but it happens mostly in the pros.

Watching a Pistons game a few nights ago, I saw some players flopping all of the place. It was terrible because you can easily tell who was giving their all and who wasn't. it's sad to see this because again they don't care about anything but the paycheck. I think it's horrible that these guys that are getting paid to flop are taking spots from those that actually want to do something. Now watching teams like Kentucky or Kansas, these kids are going balls to the wall trying to have everyone try to get noticed over the others. Also teamwork is a lot bigger in college over pro because of the pros having everyone be ball hogs and not like college at all. In the pros, there are some players that like to keep it to themselves. Throwing up shots like Steph Curry is one of the examples not saying he's a ball hog, but that's an example.

College sports are also a lot of fun because of the student section. No matter where you go at a college game, you are going to here that section just going crazy. The cheering of the student section, especially for a primetime game, is when they just don't sit down during the whole game. They are just going nuts cheering for their team and is really cool to be apart of/watch.

I really do believe that college sports are better to watch because of the push that the college players are all striving toward greatness. They are striving to be the players that get paid for playing the sport that they all love to play. This has been a fun article and think that these are some reasons why that college sports are better to watch than pro.

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.
