Describing March Madness Through GIFs, As Someone Who Doesn't Understand March Madness

Because I'm clueless, but mildly funny.

March brings lots of things: Spring Break, Women's History Month, and, currently, March Madness. As someone who doesn't really have a clue what's going on in the world of college basketball, here's my take on the "madness."

1. When someone asks you if you saw the game(s)

"No... sorry... how was it?"

2. "Villanova"

"Villa-what now?"

3. When someone asks who you think will make it to the Final Four

Not only do I not fully understand basketball as a sport, I have no idea who all the teams are, their rankings, or their stats. I am clueless.

4. When you meet someone else who also has no clue what's going on

We may not have the slightest idea about college basketball, but at least we have each other.

5. "Loyola"

Is that even a school? Did they say "Toyota"? What's going on?

6. When you get peer pressured into making a bracket

I'm just lucky there aren't that many ways to screw it up. I'm not expecting any wins.

7. But then people expect you to remember all the teams you picked

I struggle remembering things I need. There's no way I'm remembering if I chose Nevada over Texas.

8. When people seem a little *too* into it

I'm just going to keep nodding along and hoping you calm down eventually.

9. "St. Bonaventure"

At this point, I guess I'll just accept that I don't know any colleges in the United States.

10. When your friend is proud of their bracket

Just because I have no clue what's going on doesn't mean I can't be supportive!

11. When you're just kind of along for the ride, and you're okay with that

March doesn't last forever, and neither does March Madness.

Eventually, a new pop culture phenomenon will come around that I know equally little about!

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.
