College Game Day As Told By A Non SEC School Student

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.

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.
