10 Struggles Only Female Sports Fans Understand

1.) For some reason, we have to justify our love of sports.

Why do I justify something that I love? I love sports because I love sports, simple as that.

2.) People for some reason don't believe us when we say we do actually love sports.

I love them and it's the bottom of the hour right now, so SportsCenter is on and I wanna watch it.

3.) "You only like Team X because Player X is hot."

Yeah, some of my favorite players are hot, but my favorite players aren't based solely on looks. It's based on the most talented, best style, best on and off-court personality, etc.

4. ) Men try to explain the rules to us.

As if I don't know the rules. Dude, I know! I've read the rule book!

5.) "You're only watching the game because you're trying to impress a guy."

OHMYGOD, NO I'M NOT!! I actually want to watch the game, now move because you're blocking the tv.

6.) Don't tell me to go grab you a beer.


Don't say that to me unless you want all of the years of watching Clay Matthews' tackling form to be put to good use.

7.) These are some of the only fan-wear available for women.

I mean, c'mon man! Why would I want to wear team apparel that isn't even the team colors?

8.) "Can you name another player on the team besides the star?"


Yep. Wanna hear the starting lineup?

9.) Don't ask me if I watched the game, because I did.

Why would you think that I didn't? No, I actually want to the game. In fact, there is another game on right now and I will be actually pissed if you don't turn it on.

10.) I would rather watch the game than the Bachelor.


I love the Bachelor, but sports are my favorite thing and I would never pass up the opportunity to watch a game.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
