What is Run for the Roses you ask? Only the most fun 5k race in the world! Here are a few reasons why....

Help raise money for the Arthritis Foundation!

All year, the ladies of Alpha Omicron Pi raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. Run for the Roses is their biggest philanthropic event! Last year, the run raised $20,000. The money they raise goes specifically toward the Juvenile Arthritis research. Old people are not the only ones affected by arthritis. 300,000 kids in the US have arthritis, causing them pain in their joints and restricting them from participating in typical childhood activities like sports. Come out and support this worthy cause.


It's a color run!As you run, walk, or jog the 5k, participants are given the opportunity to make it a colorful experience! In the color run section of the course, runners are sprayed with color. Color run section is optional. At the end of the race, awards are presented to the top male and female runners of each age group!


Jimmy John's lunch!Each ticket includes lunch from Jimmy John's. After the race, relax with your friends and eat yummy subs.


Lil' Ice Cream Dude will be there!

Don't know who that is? Well you should. His name is Beau Shell and he's the coolest 10-year-old ever. Watch the video above to learn more about him! Come meet Lil' Ice Cream Dude and treat yo' self.


There's a bounce house!

A bounce house. I mean everyone knows that anywhere there's a bounce house there is bound to be crazy amounts of fun.

Buy your ticket now! Tickets are $25 and include the color run, a T-shirt, and Jimmy John's lunch. The race is March 19th at Sandy Creek Park. Registration begins at 10 A.M. and the race starts promptly at 11 A.M. Hope to see each and every one of you there!!

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.
