Thank you, football season.

Why Saturdays are Good Days
Personal

One of my favorite things to do is stay up really late on Friday nights, and then sleep until about 12:30 on Saturday. If you know me, you know that sleep is something I find almost holy. Sleeping in is something I don't get to do very often anymore, but when I do, it's the perfect way to start my Saturday. Then, after sleeping my morning away, Captain Crunch usually awaits me in the kitchen. The next few hours after getting out of bed are always slow. If I'm at my mom's, I sit outside on the back porch, talking to her. If I'm at my dad's, I'm snuggled up on the couch, watching some boy show that my brother refuses to change. Sometimes, I'll walk out on the farm that my family has, and I'll play with the many dogs we have, or I'll even try and ride one of the horses. Saturdays are good for collecting myself after a long week. They are gentle and allow me a nap, if my heart desires it. Even though I love UAH, and I love my friends that keep my sane throughout the week, there is nothing like going home and just having a normal Saturday.

Saturdays are also great for catching up on homework. I usually set a reasonable goal for my studies. Ya know, read ten pages from my Anatomy book, and look over the notes from Psychology. It's never anything too heavy. Of course I never complete the light load that I gave myself. But, isn't it nice to have a goal for the day? I remember when Saturdays were all about Soccer. I would come in, sweaty, my muscles aching, and completely exhausted. I actually miss those Saturdays.

Now that fall is upon us, Saturdays also mean something very important. Football season makes every Saturday like a holiday in my family. Saturday nights are filled with homemade cheese dip, Alabama football, and bonfires for after the game. Saturdays are good to help me relax. School work, sorority responsibilities, and stress get to me. But Saturdays are good for my soul.

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.
