We all know that bandwagon fans exist, usually right around time for a big game. They are created equally throughout all sports. Unfortunately, sometimes you might find yourself in a position that causes you to ask yourself, "Am I a bandwagon fan??" Now to be fair, everyone starts out as a bandwagon fan but it's your loyalty that you show to the team that dictates if you are truly a fan or another fair-weather fan.

Luckily for you, I have put together a list of five questions you should ask yourself if you believe you could possibly be a band-wagoner.

5 Ways To Tell If You Are Obsessed With March Madness

5 Ways To Tell If You Are Obsessed With March Madness

1. Do you have a new found appreciation for (enter sport here)?

Maybe we can thank uncle Tom for bringing you onto your new favorite sport to watch but if not, and you've only begun watching because of you're new favorite team....odds are, you're probably a bandwagon fan.

2. Did you purchase new fan gear after a winning season?

If you're a loyal fan whose support goes back further than the most recent season, you could possibly be updating your fan apparel. BUT, if you find yourself surfing the team's website to find the newest sweatshirts to show your buddies you're in the game too, then you're probably a bandwagon.

3. Can you name anyone on the team besides the star players?

Chances are if you cannot name at least five players from your favorite team excluding the spotlight players(all sports included), you're probably a bandwagon fan.

4. Can you recall historical stats for the team dating back to past years?

If you can't name that monumental moment in your team's history(the one all the fans know by heart), you're probably a bandwagon fan.

5. Do you support all of the teams as long as they are winning?

If you have chosen not to settle on sharing your loyalty with just one team but all the best teams that make up the sport, you're probably a bandwagon fan!

Hopefully, for your sake, you've discovered that your heart lies with one team that you've supported for years and years or will support for years and years to come. However, if you have come to the conclusion that you are, in fact, a bandwagon fan, then you should probably stay away from those very intense sports conversations that always end by challenging each other's loyalty to your favorite team.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
