The Atlantic

Who isn't psyched for these upcoming events? If you didn't know, well now you will. These are three reasons on why you should be excited and be sure to not miss out on the sporting events.

Because who doesn't like to spend quality time with their family? Arguing over their favorite player or team, going out with your friends to a bar to watch the game or simply just being the ultimate fan while enjoying the matches?

Here's 3 huge events happening soon in sports that you definitely shouldn't miss out on!

Super Bowl 50

The famed football final between Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos is to be broadcasted live February 7 at 6:30 through CBS. The Superbowl is going to be hosted at Levi's Stadium with halftime performances by Coldplay and Beyoncé.

It will be an interesting match=up between the #1 scoring offense (Carolina Panthers) versus the #1 total defense (Denver Broncos).

Players to watch:

Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers) - QB for the Panthers, undoubtedly MVP front runner, representing the "new school" of football

Peyton Manning (Denver Broncos) - QB for the Broncos, your classic pocket passer, representing the "old-school" of football

Copa América Centenario

The prestigious Copa América will be hosted in the United States this year, with the final being played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

This is undoubtedly the US biggest soccer event since the 1994 FIFA World Cup and with stars like Lionel Messi, Neymar, James Rodriguez, Luis Suarez and many others; it will draw a lot of attention to the US crowd and obviously the Latin American market.

Teams

CONMEBOL - Mexico, United States, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Haiti, Panama

CONCACAF- Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Peru, Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia, Chile

NBA All-Star 2016

Other than the NBA Finals, The All-Star Game is the most awaited match in Basketball. With the likes of Kobe Bryant playing his last All-Star match and the current candidates like Paul George, LeBron, Stephen Curry and Durant for the MVP award, there's no doubt this will be a fun game to watch. The 65th All-Star Game will be hosted in Toronto with the best players of the Eastern and Western Conference.

Eastern Conference Roster:

Starters - Kyle Lowry, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony

Reserves - John Wall, Jimmy Butler, Andre Drummond, Paul Millsap, Chris Bosh, Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan

Western Conference Roster:

Starters - Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard

Reserves - Chris Paul, James Harden, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, LaMarcus Aldridge, Klay Thompson.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
