March Madness: The best time of the year. This is a gambler's holiday that has people either jumping up and down on couches in a little celebratory dance or ripping up their brackets trying to hold back tears. The odds are 1 in 772 billion to pick a perfect bracket. Choosing the correct teams out of 64 is a difficult and risky task, which makes it exhilarating when you actually get it right. This month has everyone on their toes and phones looking to see if their bracket holds up. Everyone comes into MM with a different logic, understanding and tactic for how they go about picking teams to win for each round. With that being said; see if you fit into any of these types:

1. The fans that pick the teams with the best mascot.

West Virginia's mascot is incredible, to say the least, thus they must win.

2. The fans that pick their teams on ratings.

Just because a college is ranked No. 1 does not exactly mean that they will win the whole NCAA MM tournament, people.

3. The fans that pick the college they want/going to attend or already at because they believe it's the best one.

.

Well, duh.

4. The fans who pick the undefeated team just because of their record.

Although UK did have a spotless season last year, look at who won the title. Ouch.

5. The fans who pick the teams with the sickest uniforms.

Look good, feel good, do good.

6. The fans who pick the four No. 1 seeds for the Final Four.

C'mon, now—have some originality.

7. The fans that pick the teams with the top defensive stats.

Remember, defense wins championships.

8. The fans who pick their childhood college team to go all the way.

It's the dream, that hopefully, someday, will become a reality.

9. The fans who do exactly opposite of whatever this guy picks.

You're smart. Sorry, not sorry, Dick Vitale.

10. The fans that use the "eenie meenie miney mo," picking out of hat or flipping a coin tactic.

Not everyone has the time to research and keep up on the teams throughout their regular season. Have to pick somehow.

11. The fans that pick Notre Dame to win because St. Patrick's Day is in March and they're The Fighting Irish, so it just makes sense.

I mean, Notre Dame did make it to the Final Four in 2015. This strategy isn't so bad after all.

12. The fans who pick the same team who won last year because "if they can do it once, they can do it again."

Bet.

13. The fans who pick whomever Obama chooses because he's the president.

This man is leading our country, so I am sure he might have a few tips of how to pick the best bracket. I mean, just look at that form.

14. The fans who pick the teams based on how hot the players are.

Admittedly, I am a victim of this.

15. The fans that pick their state school team.

There is no other option.

16. The fans that take March Madness way too seriously.

We've all got one in the family.

17. The fans that believe in Cinderella Stories.

Let's throw it back to 2013 when No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast beat No. 2 seed Georgetown, and then No. 7 seed San Diego State, stunned the nation and became the first-ever No.15 seed to make it to the Sweet 16. Even better, when Virginia Commonwealth last year became the third No. 11 seed in history to earn a spot in the Final Four. Anything can happen. You never know with the game of basketball; that's what makes March full of madness.

18. The fans that choose whatever their brother's, friends, or family picks.


Accurate.

19. The bandwagon fans.

Somehow becoming a No. 1 fan of the winning team.

20. The fans that blow up social media by posting play-by-plays of every game like we don't already know what's going on.


Trust me, we're watching.

No matter what type you are, we all have one thing in common that connects us—the game of basketball. Good luck to you in forming your bracket for this year! Get rowdy, it's March Madness time!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
