The Buffalo Bills Season As Told By 'The Office'

'Tis the 2015-2016 Buffalo Bills season and the Bills are officially not making the playoffs, again. This year was an emotional roller coaster for Bills fans. We were promised to make the playoffs, we were promised success. All we got was sadness and bad hangovers.

Here's the recap of this season:

1. Rex Ryan promising that the Buffalo Bills will be in the playoffs this year.

We were pumped, we were ready to go! This is our year!

2. Game 1: Win against the Colts.

Wow, they played really good! Maybe something has changed with this team!

3. Patriots game.

Tom Brady wins again, but we really didn't see this as a surprise. Patriots are sadly very good, but us Bills fans shake it off. It's only game 2.

4. Big win against Miami!

We're back in business baby! Now we're heading in the right direction now.

5. Giants. Game.

This game left Bills fans emotionally damaged. We don't want to remember this game, this game crushed our little Buffalo souls.

6. Titans game. We won, but barely.

Score: 14 to 13. Bills mafia was a little nervous, but still holding out hope for the playoffs.

7. Bengals game.

Brutal. The pain hurts everywhere. The Bengals were an undefeated team at this point of the season, but Bills fans thought there was a chance.

8. London game.

This was suppose to be one of our easier games. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Bills fans had to get up so early and watch the game from our laptops. Most of us were still drunk/hungover from the past night, but the result of this game all kept us drinking to numb the pain.

9. Bye week, Hallelujah.

Bills needed to get recharged and work on their defensive skills. Maybe the rest of the season will be different.

10. Games 9 and 10. Wins.

Let's go, baby! Bills are back at it! These games really helped our playoff chances because they were divisional games against the Jets and Dolphins.

11. Games 11 and 12. Losses.

What is happening? Bills fans are getting angry. We want answers. What is happening with this team? Why are they falling apart?

12. Win against the Texans.

After this win, we have a slim chance on being playoff bound. Bills fans are nervous, but optimistic. We can do this! We will break this 15-year-old playoff drought.

13. Game 14 and 15. I don't even want to talk about it.


The Buffalo Bills are officially eliminated from making the playoffs. It has been now 16 years since the Buffalo Bills have entered a post-season. Congratulations playoff drought, you can have a drivers license now.

14. The rest of the season is just a blur.

You don't look forward to Sundays as you used too. The "Shout" song is now a sad melody in your life. The reality has now settled in that you won't be wearing your head-to-toe Bills gear on Sundays again this season. You still wear your Bills apparel around town though, but just more sadly now.

The off season:


You make notes, check player's statistics. You pretend to be the GM and look at all the players that are available for grabs. We can't repeat this season again.

Being a Buffalo Bills fan is not an easy road to travel. You will get picked on by pretty much every team in the league. You will get your heart broken and your dreams crushed, but, in the end, you wear that Bills logo loud and proud.

We cheer every game like they have a winning record. We bleed red, white and blue every Sunday and we aren't afraid of disappointment. We always say, "There's always next year," to keep our spirits alive. Let's see what next season has in store for us.

Let's go Buffalo!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
