If you're not a Green Bay Packers fan, you should be. In the case that you have no idea what I am talking about, the Packers are an American football team from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Here are just a few of the thousands of reasons why you should be proud to call yourself a Packers fan.

Reason 1:

The Hail Mary pass. On Thursday, December 3rd, 2015 the Green Bay Packers Played the Detroit Lions. Luckily the Lions defensive end, Devin Taylor, pulled on Aaron Rodgers face mask and the Packers got an extra play after the game clock hit 0:00. Rodgers threw a 61-yard touchdown pass to Richard Rodgers with literally no time left on the clock giving the Packers the 27-23 win.

Just let that sink in.

61 yards. That is insane. Richard Rodgers was not even supposed to be the one to catch the ball. He intended to box out and clear space in the end zone so Davante Adams could catch the ball. That Hail Mary pass gave the Packers hope to continue on after multiple losses.

Reason 2:

Aaron Rodgers. What is not to like about him? First of all he is such a stud and he is the quarterback of the Packers. That should be enough to make you jump on the Packers bandwagon.

Reason 3:

Pitch Perfect 2. The Packers Clay Matthews, T.J. Lang, Josh Sitton, Don Barclay and David Bakhtiari made a cameo in Pitch Perfect 2, and personally, I found it perfect. If the scene in this movie does not convince you to love the Packers, you should reconsider everything in life. Plus, Clay Matthews is on fire in this movie. P.S., go watch Pitch Perfect 2 if you haven’t, it’s hilarious.

Reason 4:

When you are a GB Packers fan, you have a sense of community. Ever since 1960, Lambeau Field has been sold out. Even now the waiting list to get season tickets is more than 30 years long. That’s a really big commitment.

Reason 5:

(http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-green-bay-packers-offense-too-fast-for-the-lambeau-leap-1420741543)

The NFL Network countdown program, the NFL Top 10, named the Lambeau Leap the 2nd greatest touchdown celebration of all time. How cool is that? Do you want to know something even cooler? Other NFL teams have tried to have their own version of the Lambeau Leap, but the very first time anyone saw it was with Packers safety LeRoy Butler in 1993. Butler returned a fumble recovery for a touchdown, and while in the end zone, he ran to the stands and jumped into the fans arms. The Packers started a thing.


Being a Packers fan can be really hard at times when they have tough years. But it is all worth it. There is so much dedication and loyalty for the Packers. During the winter months, Lambeau Field will be anywhere from 10-30 degrees fahrenheit and people still go to the games. Honestly, if you’re not a Packers fan, that is alright. Not really, but you probably love your team just as much as I love mine. At the end of the day, we just need to give support to our teams.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
