As an SEC school Mississippi State has all the sports we care about in the SEC + a few extra. From football to women's soccer, we truly have it all but aside from our major sports did you know that our university has a wide variety of club teams with sports many people don't even know exist?

1. Archery 

This one did not come as a huge shock to me as it might for others, but yes Mississippi State has an archery team. You can find them on OrgSync as the Archery Dawgs for more information.

2. Bass Fishing 

This is the south, so if you're surprised then I am surprised at you. Yes, we have bass fishing and yes, we are good at it. Tournaments have already started, but I'm sure they would still love your support and maybe you participation next year.

3. Fencing

Also known as the "Dueling Dawgs," this club sport really caught me off guard. When I picture fencing, I picture Annie and Halle in The Parent Trap and not college students, but many cheers for the guys and gals on this team.

4. Men's Rugby

A new favorite of mine - rugby. I'm not going to lie, my friends and I went to a game (match?) a few days ago and I was not expecting what I saw, but I am so glad I went. A mom on the sidelines happily explained the game to me and let me tell you - everyone needs to go watch our team. It's a fun sport to watch and it will keep you on your toes the whole time, just make sure you bring a blanket or chair!

5. Swimming 

Another personal favorite mainly because I swam in high school and also their website is a win. The club swim team is relatively new, but by the looks of it doing pretty well for itself.

6. Table Tennis

If you weren't aware - table tennis is actually a huge sport and I'm kind of annoyed this is a club team and not a university team because we could probably recruit a good bit of people for it. Anyone can join (even faculty), but only students can participate in official matches.

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.
