Describing March Madness Through GIFs, As Someone Who Doesn't Understand March Madness

Because I'm clueless, but mildly funny.

March brings lots of things: Spring Break, Women's History Month, and, currently, March Madness. As someone who doesn't really have a clue what's going on in the world of college basketball, here's my take on the "madness."

1. When someone asks you if you saw the game(s)

"No... sorry... how was it?"

2. "Villanova"

"Villa-what now?"

3. When someone asks who you think will make it to the Final Four

Not only do I not fully understand basketball as a sport, I have no idea who all the teams are, their rankings, or their stats. I am clueless.

4. When you meet someone else who also has no clue what's going on

We may not have the slightest idea about college basketball, but at least we have each other.

5. "Loyola"

Is that even a school? Did they say "Toyota"? What's going on?

6. When you get peer pressured into making a bracket

I'm just lucky there aren't that many ways to screw it up. I'm not expecting any wins.

7. But then people expect you to remember all the teams you picked

I struggle remembering things I need. There's no way I'm remembering if I chose Nevada over Texas.

8. When people seem a little *too* into it

I'm just going to keep nodding along and hoping you calm down eventually.

9. "St. Bonaventure"

At this point, I guess I'll just accept that I don't know any colleges in the United States.

10. When your friend is proud of their bracket

Just because I have no clue what's going on doesn't mean I can't be supportive!

11. When you're just kind of along for the ride, and you're okay with that

March doesn't last forever, and neither does March Madness.

Eventually, a new pop culture phenomenon will come around that I know equally little about!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
