SEC schools have a completely different culture

College Game Day As Told By A Non SEC School Student

Visiting large schools is always fun, especially when it's an SEC school and you don't go to one. Here are some things that are experienced if you attend tailgating and a football game at an SEC school from a private schooler's point of view.

1. I'm buying a pair of tiger ears to wear to the tailgate even though I do not attend this school.

2. We've been walking forever and it feels like we've gone no where, how big is this campus?


And this is just Greek Town. Don't even get me started on the entire school.

3. My private school tolerance could never keep up with these natives.

Tailgating is obviously a sport that my school does NOT participate in...

4. I can count on both hands the awkward encounters I've had with people that I graduated high school with.


This school may be large, but it doesn't make up for the fact that I know about 1/4 of the people that go here.

5. Every single girl here is wearing the exact same outfit.

Black dress, brown boots or cowboy boots, tiger ears, and tiger face tattoo. Wear that and you'll be sure to fit in.

6. There are more adults and families at this football game than college students.

It's easy to see that the tailgating is the main sport for the college students, not the actual game.

7. People are still partying after this game, how much longer can you go?

I was tapped out before the game even started.

8. This culture is incredible, but I'm so happy with my small private school.

Coming to visit for a weekend or two is incredibly fun, but it makes you appreciate your small school culture and how you ultimately did pick the right school.

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.

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.
