11 Reasons Football Sundays Are The Best Sundays

Words cannot describe the excitement that surrounds fall Sundays. Dressing up, eating greasy foods and screaming at the television until Ryan Fitzpatrick listens to you and finally passes the ball to to Eric Decker for a touchdown is unbeatable. Drinking all day, either drowning your sorrows or celebrating your victory, forgetting that the day after Sunday is Monday, and feeling so insanely lucky if you actually get the chance to overpay to freeze your butt off with 82,500 other people can only mean one thing - football is back.

1. Being able to dress up in your teams colors and face paint and not get stared at for looking ridiculous. You’ll probably even get some high fives!

Pop-quiz: Guess which teams these cheese and chicken wing hats are for!

2. Experimenting with new treats in the kitchen that everyone is bound to love (most people are probably somewhat drunk so if it’s edible, it’s good).

3. It’s a completely acceptable procrastination method on Sunday. Did I finish my homework, no…but that can wait! It’s hardly the most important thing going on on a Sunday.


4. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel during a long week.

5. The random football fun facts and statistics the commentators come up with every week. Did you know that if you put your name on the Green Bay Packers season ticket waiting list you’d be waiting almost 1,000 years to get your tickets - just in time for Brett Favre’s next comeback! Who even thinks to compute these things?

But that's a welcome break from the cliche, "you can see the fight in [insert team players name]'s eyes," and "it's all about having courage, not fear" and "it's essential to get a good start because the first quarter counts just as much as the last" or my personal favorite, "[Team X] better keep [Team Y] out of the end-zone if they don't want them to score a touchdown!" No sh*t - that's how a touchdown is scored?!

Because I really thought you had to jump on the bouncy castle for the touchdown to count.

6. The eye roll you can give when people say “we played a great game today” and “our defense was incredible.” Are you on the team, I don’t remember seeing you out on the field?

7. Those tight leggings on those tight ends. Enough said.

8. Making fun of the teams that are embarrassingly bad…sorry, Dolphins.


9. Being one week closer to the Super Bowl every game

10. Making ridiculous bets with your friends. Did I really agree to wear an Eagles swimsuit outside in December?

11. That feeling you get when your team wins, all because you didn’t change your socks for a week, you screamed at the T.V. cheering them on and you never lost faith. You are welcome, New York Jets.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
