13 Things Somehow STILL Easier Than Being A Gamecock Fan

We never take an L at tailgating, that's for sure.

13 Things Somehow STILL Easier Than Being A Gamecock Fan
Emily Richeson

It's football season again! My team is the South Carolina Gamecocks, and trust me I just heard you mumble, "Oh Lord, bless her."

If ever there was an award for worst luck and most dedicated fans, the USC Gamecocks would have that no doubt.

This season, the Gamecocks have played against NC State, and Mizzou and both games the Gamecocks took the win. The third game of the season and the first home game were completely sold out! Everyone's so ready for the third win of a so far amazing and much needed season, and then our luck returns. The Jr Wide Reciever named Deebo Samuel, who is, in my opinion, a worthy Heisman Trophy candidate, suffered an ankle injury.

According to his twitter and an interview with coach Muschamp, he could be back in 6 weeks, assuming the best. Of course, by then you've taken the heat of football season, and he would need time to get back in the swing of things. Excuse me while I ugly cry like Kim Kardashian when she lost her earrings in the ocean.


I say all that to justify my list of 13 things that are, to me, easier than being a Gamecock fan:

1. Chugging an entire cookout milkshake with a straw as soon as you get it.

2. Watching the animal shelter commercial with the "In the Arms of an Angel" song and not crying while doing so.

3. Baptizing a cat.

4. Underwater Basket Weaving.

5. Helen Keller getting through a corn maze.

6. Taking a tequila shot and chasing it with Clorox.

7. Finding a cure for the random eye twitch that we all get.

Yes, it's weird and yes, everyone sees it.

8. Enjoying a glass of orange juice immediately after brushing your teeth.

9. Doing the cinnamon challenge from 2015.

10. Actually ordering a McFlurry at McDonald's and the ice cream machine operating perfectly.

11. Promoting the company/person who provides President Trump's spray tans.

12. Going a year without saying this when you get gas: "Can I get $20 on pump uhhh..."

13. Seeing five missed calls from your mom and not caring.

That is actually scarier than the threats from North Korea.

I love the Gamecocks, I always will. I know we have some amazing players with or without Debo, and I truly hope they give us the season we have been dreaming of for so long now. Wishing you a quick and smooth recovery, Deebo! Go Gamecocks!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
