Waking up early on the weekend isn't preferable.

9 Thoughts Everyone Has About 11 AM Football Games
Katie Wegmann

College football is a big deal. It's the most wonderful time of the year; nothing is more magical than a college town on game day. While we can all agree night games are by far the best, everyone gets stuck with a morning game at some point in the season.

When the schedule comes out and you see that 11 a.m. game time, here are a few things that go through every student's mind:

1. Why???

Now you have to wake up early on the weekend. Not an ideal situation.

2. Maybe I'll just sit this one out and watch from home...

That way you don't have to get ready, and you can eat breakfast and watch in your pj's all in the comfort of your own home.

3. ...But you're only in college once and your game days are limited...


And you'll seriously regret passing up an opportunity to experience game day with your best friends.

4. Waking up for tailgate at 8 a.m. will be easier than waking up for your 8 a.m. class.

5. Better stock up on orange juice and champagne.

6. Or just get beer as usual because drinking beer before 11 a.m. is definitely not unheard of in college.

7. What do you wear when it's going to be freezing at 9 a.m. but hot at noon?

Jeans? Shorts? A sweater? How do you prepare??

8. Even though you got up early, when game time rolls around you're PUMPED.

If you don't lose your voice, was it really even game day??

9. Good news is you have enough time to nap before the festivities of Saturday night.

Because there's only one thing we love more than game day, and that's sleep.

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.
