Ah, college tailgates. You never know who, or what, you're going to come across. Regardless, it's a fun college experience. Here are 10 different people that you will most definitely see at your college tailgate.

1. Booze-Slinging Ben


These guys usually crowd in groups twenty or more. Anytime you see a group frat bros crowd together and start to jump, RUN. Get out of the splash zone.

2. Tumbling Tina

Tina loves elevated surfaces. Coolers, platforms, shoulders of the nearest frat bro, and pong tables. But elevated surfaces do not love her.

3. Crying Christina

Christina's friend Anna said she didn't want to go to the bathroom with her. Naturally, Christina is devastated.


4. Fetal Position Fred

This poor guy is a sad sight for sore eyes. He usually needs medical attention and could use your help to make it through to the next day.

5. Make-Out Mark

Mark is never seen alone. He's always glued to the nearest freshman showing an absurd amount of PDA for the rest of us to gag at.

6. Angry Allen

Some people just get angry when they are in an altered state. Angry Allen is not the guy you want to accidentally bump into while weaving through the crowd. Or even look at for longer than half a second if we're being real.


7. Puking Penelope

Puking Penelope is Fetal Position Fred, but only a few hours earlier.

8. Super Senior Stan

You know the guy who has been coming to the tailgates for like the past five years? Yea, he's doing a victory lap*.

9. Eating Eddie

Most universities pass out free food on game day. Eddie always grabs a Chick-Fil-A or Jimmie Johns sandwich, but never waits until he gets home. Eddie is the type of guy you want to befriend.


10. Dancing Diana

Ninety percent of the population at tailgates are Dancing Diana. Don't stop til ya drop, right?


Bonus: 11. Sober Sally

Sally is a rare and endangered creature. Some believe she may be extinct. But if you can concentrate through your blurred vision long enough you will see Sally on the sidelines holding Penelope's hair.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
