Making Sense Of The Early ACC Basketball Standings

After a little over a week of conference play, the early Atlantic Coast Conference basketball standings look like this.

Some thoughts:

Looks like we're a football conference after all. The only undefeated teams in the ACC are FSU and Notre Dame. Coming on the heels of a great bowl season, it's fitting that the two schools with perhaps the most storied football programs sit at the top.

Indefinite Means 1. Someone should update Merriam-Webster and Urban Dictionary, as Coach K single-handedly and permanently redefined the word with Grayson Allen's indefinite-turned-one-game suspension. Here's to hoping "one" and "indefinite" are interchangeable when it comes to the amount of class periods your professor allows you to miss this upcoming semester as well.

Tech pulls a Tech. Immediately after beating the Allen-less Blue Devils, the Hokies turn around and lose to NC State by 26. They're flirting with March Madness this year but we'll see how long that lasts. But hey, if they don't there's always a spot for them in the NIT.

Maybe Louisville should keep recruiting kids by offering them strippers and prostitutes. The only winless team left in the conference, top-10 ranked Louisville is having some trouble without all the fun that comes from breaking multiple NCAA rules . Plus UVA absolutely destroyed them as well.

The ACC is tough. We all know, or at least hope, the Hoos are right up there at the top of the conference, but there are a multitude of good teams. The conference could potentially put 11 or 12 teams into the NCAA 64-team tournament, and the regular-season champion could conceivably have 4 or 5 losses (aside from the utter certainty that UVA wins out and finishes the regular season with a conference record of 16-2 of course). And, consequently, it's only going to get more hectic.

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.
