A Farewell and 'Thank You' To Jordy Nelson From Packer Fans Everywhere

Jordy Nelson will always be a Packer to many.

I, like so many other people in the country, am a Green Bay Packers football fan.

There have been many new players on the team. And lots of players come and go from teams, but on the Packers, there have been a couple of constants for what seems like every season.

One of those constants is Jordy Nelson. The Pro Bowl wide receiver has been with the Packers for all nine seasons of his career in the NFL.

On March 13, his tenure with the Packers finally ended, and he will be with a different team next season.

Some of the best memories I have as a Packers fan was when Jordy Nelson was on the field.

The pregame warm-ups, for example, when Jordy and Aaron Rodgers would see who could have the ball spin on the tip the longest and then go into the classic fist bump.

Also, one memory I won't forget is on Dec. 18, 2016, when the Packers were playing the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, and the Packers needed to win to stay in the playoff hunt.

It was third-and-11 with 34 seconds on the clock, and the game was all tied. Aaron Rodgers dropped back and threw a 60-yard bomb to the man himself, Jordy Nelson. That throw and catch set up the game-winning field goal to win the game and keep the Packers in the playoff chase — which eventually, they made it into.

On behalf of all Packer fans everywhere, I would just like to thank Jordy Nelson for all the great memories he has given us.

Jordy, it has been a joy watching you play every Sunday.

Packer nation was lucky to have you for the first nine seasons of your career. We have enjoyed watching you grow as a player and you have always represented Packer nation proudly.

We hope you continue to do well and wish you the best of luck on the rest of your NFL journey (except when you play the Packers of course.)

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.
