Confessions Of A Die-Hard Football Girl

Five confessions we die-hard football girls would like you to know.

In my opinion, there are three distinct types of girl football fans out there. Trust me, we all know one of each.

There’s the “I’m such a (insert certain team here) fan.” They have either the jersey of the quarterback, the very popular wide-receiver, or the running back. Their knowledge consists of the name of said person on their jersey, the colors of their team, and which players have the cutest butts.

Then you have the “high school football girl.” This is the girl that we all went to school with. She was either a cheerleader, a stat chick, or a football player's girlfriend. She “loves football so much” and she attended every game wearing a jersey of the opposite color and hooted and hollered every time something good happened. Once high school Friday night lights were over, this girl could swoon over her boys of fall, but not the wonderful game of football.

Then there are the girls like me. We are the girls who can talk (aka smack talk) about the team we live for, we keep up on all teams (not just our own), we know the players, we watch the games, and we have some confessions to make.

1. We know we don’t have to wear our jersey every Monday after our team wins on Sunday.

But of course we're going to, and we are gonna look damn cute when we do. Honey, we can make skinny jeans, rider boots, and an authentic NFL jersey look designer.

2. We can see through your fake football knowledge.

We know that you're attempting to connect with us by asking about playoff standings, the upcoming draft picks, or how our favorite team is currently doing. But really, you're just showing that you don’t know much. Thank you for trying, though.

3. We understand that we are females.

"Wouldn't you rather watch 'The Bachelor' with us? Or 'Legally Blonde'?" Uh, NO! "Reese Witherspoon will have to wait, the game is on at 7 p.m."

4. We know that the players, refs, and coaches can’t hear us through the TV.

BUT WE HAVE TO YELL AT THEM BECAUSE THAT CALL WAS ABSURD! GET SOME GLASSES, REF!

5. We know that we can out talk a lot of "football" guys (including your boyfriend).

All guys do it. They see a girl wearing football merchandise and assume they are the “high school football girl” or the “I'm such a (insert said team here)” fan. But as a die-hard football girl, I am always praying for a guy to bring up football so I can out trash talk them and prove my un-girl like knowledge of football.

To all my fellow die-hard girls:

Keep proving them wrong. Don't be ashamed, and rock that jersey, girl.

To the die-hard pretenders:

Please stop. You aren't fooling us die-hard girls, but you are giving us a bad rep. (P.S. Where did you get that adorable jersey?)

Sincerely,

The openly-obsessed, trash-talking, die-hard Denver Broncos fan

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
