Justify, Justify, Justify. It's all about Justify. I hate Justify.

You think Justify is so special? You think the triple crown is so elusive? Give me a break.

There's been 13 of them since the Kentucky Derby started in 1875. That's about one triple crown every 11 years. You want to read about some feats of athleticism that are actually impressive?

Check these crowning achievements of athleticism that I've accomplished over the years, that also happen to make up the bulk of my resume.

Made four consecutive three-pointers in cornhole

And it was kind of dark out, making it that much more difficult.

Scored 84 points in a single basketball game

Regardless of the fact that it was against a third-grader on a nine-foot hoop. 84 points is 84 points.

Dunked a basketball

Same third-grader, same hoop, but a lot more shit-talking.

Ran a mile on a broken foot.

How long did it take? About 25 minutes. But that wasn't so much a byproduct of the broken foot as much as it was the byproduct of me being an overweight child.

Caught a seahorse with my bare hands.

Albeit it was dead.

Killed a bee with my bare hand.

Let me set the scene: senior year, baseball dugout. I hear a bee buzzing behind me. I thought it would be funny if I turned around dramatically, swinging at nothing but air, only to say "Man, I really thought I had it". Quite the comedian, I know.

The thing is I actually managed to swat the bee out of midair. You just had to be there.

Snatched a tennis ball out of midair

This is a tough one to explain. My sister was standing a foot in front of me with a tennis ball. She tried to throw it past me. Perfect. My comedic mind thought: try to catch it, miss it, make funny joke, let laughter ensue.

And once again, I underestimated my athleticism and actually caught the ball. Again, you had to be there.

Took a perfect game into the bottom of the ninth with two outs.

MLB 2K11 was my shit.

Threw a football fifty yards.

A real, leather, regulation-sized, youth football.

Spun a basketball on my finger.

Giphy

Justify can't do that.

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.

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.
