13 Signs you're a Pittsburgh Sports Fan

Some people only cheer for the Penguins, Pirates, or Steelers. Others only cheer for two of the three. Then, there are the best of them all, the trifecta fan, who cheers for all three of the teams. Although people may seem like they cheer for all three teams, here are some signs proving that you are, or somebody you know is, a Pittsburgh sports fan.

1.) You either know every championship we have won and the year, or you at least know the most recent one for each team.

2.) You think PNC Park has the best view in all of baseball.

3.) You know the nicknames for most players and lineups from “AB” to “HBK.”

4.) You either say Stillers, Bucs/Buccos and Pens, or you know somebody who does.

5.) It’s Black and Gold, not Black and Yellow.

6.) Since the early millennium you’ve believed the Penguins or Steelers would have a high chance to win a championship every year.

7.) You know what “RTJR” means.

8.) You know about the appreciation the teams have for each other.

9.) You remember 2009, the year we stapled our title as “The City of Champyinz (ions).”

10.) You’ve done the two games in one day thing, meaning you’ve gone to a Steelers' game and a Penguins' game in one day.

11.) You know that if Andrew McCutchen is the heart of the Pirates regardless of the players who surround him.

12.) You know the signature towels.

13.) You know how to spell Roethlisberger like it’s the most common surname ever.

It doesn't matter if you were born here or not. If you have the black and gold blood it will never die. Let's go Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins!

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.

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.
