9 Thoughts Driving All March Madness Fans... Well, Mad

Rooting for the Zion — er — Duke Blue Devils, are you?

March Madness is hands down the BEST time of the year. Putting together your bracket convinced that this year will be the year that you finally have that perfect bracket just to find out that the odds of that happening are one in 2.4 trillion.

It's still worth the fun of filling out that bracket though, and let's be honest, this year is bound to be just as crazy as any other year, and these thoughts are definitely running through every fan's mind leading up to and after Selection Sunday.

Will we be seeing the Zion Blue Devils or the Duke Blue Devils in the tourney?

Giphy

I get it, Duke is a great team either way, but with Zion they are real contenders for the overall title. Without him, well...they barely beat Wake Forest.

Are the Zags overrated?

Giphy

They're up there in the rankings, but they have one of the easiest conferences. To pick or not to pick the Zags is an ongoing struggle nearly every year.

What is Kansas without Udoka Azubuike?

Giphy

They've had some scary losses this year with Azubuike on the bench with an injury. SCARY LOSSES!

Will Virginia fall in the first round again?

Giphy

Let's be real...no one will ever forget the UMBC upset of 2018.

Who are the sleeper teams this year?

Giphy

My vote is for Temple, but I may be biased as a Temple grad. (For real, though, have you seen Shizz Alston and Quinton Rose play basketball?)

How far will Tacko Fall take UCF?

Giphy

Tacko Fall is 7'6", and he is a huge part of why UCF is a contender this year.

Are the refs going to see what I see?

Giphy

OK, but Mr. Ref, I really need this win for my bracket — please and thanks!

Why is this game tied with 10 seconds left?

Giphy

I can't handle an overtime match. I am not mentally prepared for this.

Why do I even fill out brackets?

Giphy

After like two games, my bracket is busted anyway...

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
