The ABC's Of College Gameday At JMU

Ah, yes, another article on your news feed about College Game Day (just in case there aren't enough floating out there). Now that the hub of ESPN’s arrival in Harrisonburg has calmed a little, it's a good time to sit back and reflect on the weekend's highlights in an alphabetized manner.

A is for the all-nighters students pulled to get a spot on the quad for Saturday.

B is for breaking records, like having 26,069 fans in the game’s attendance.

C is for the Constitution, which Lee Corso is apparently the father of.

D is for the Duke dog who absolutely crushed the mascot game this weekend.

E is for the ESPN crew finally paying a visit to good ole Harrisonburg.

F is for the delicious finger food at the tailgates.

G is for GAMEDAY, giving us Dukes another reason to celebrate.

H is for homecoming. The best one JMU has seen in years.

I is for impressing the crew and the world with our palpable energy and contagious school spirit.

J is for JMaddy being the dream school.

K is for knowing that despite what the scoreboard said, we're still better than Richmond... "U of R kids Blockbuster and chill"

L is for Lee. Lee Corso, Lee Fitting, and of course, (Vad) Lee.

M is for the most memorable weekend that this school will ever experience.

N is for never forgetting... "Today, tomorrow, always JMU."

O is for a well-played offense demonstrated by the Dukes.

P is for posters.

Q is for some of the questionable signs that were seen on the quad.

R is for Richmond still sucks.

S is for a killer scene at Gameday. In Lee Fitting’s words, “the greatest scene that we've ever had for the show.”

T is for the tailgates. I can still taste the cheeseburger.

U is for USA today thinking we’re also a big deal.

V is for Vad.

W is for winning. Because despite the number on the scoreboard, this weekend still exemplified how honorable it is to be a Duke.

X is for the eXtremely sore throats everyone has from screaming so much (this one's a stretch... couldn't think of how to relate xylophone to the weekend).

Y is for “You can’t sit with us.”

Z is for zero regrets about one of the best and most pride-filled weekends JMU has ever seen.

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.
