13 Thoughts of a Fantasy Football Newbie As Told By Leslie Knope
Imgur

I went to Penn State for 3.5 years, so you'd think I'd understand football right? WRONG. I was too short to actually see what was happening during games, so I just cheered when everyone else cheered, and I booed when everyone else booed.

I decided this year that I wanted to learn more about football, so I joined my friend's fantasy football league. It's just one real week into the season and as a newbie, I've had a lot of thoughts running through my head. What better way to express all of those thoughts to you all, than by letting Leslie Knope explain them?

1. When the draft starts and you have no idea what the hell is going on


2. You're having trouble keeping up, why do you only have 1.5 minutes each time it's your turn to draft??

3. You've been drafting for over two hours now, and you've lost your patience

4. After the first game of the season, you realize you should have never signed up for the league in the first place


5. You try to pump yourself up to gain some confidence

6. After your team does well, you already think you're a pro...


7. ...And then someone tells you that what you said makes no sense at all


8. You start to get competitive even though you still really don't understand what's going on


9. You start talking trash...


10. ...But immediately regret it because your team's about to lose


11. You're ready to throw in the towel and give up...


12. But after all the sweat and tears, you realize you've won your matchup this week, and it was all worth it


13. Sadly however, you realize you have 17 more weeks of this



With the first week over, and many more to come, Good luck to everyone as they embark upon a new season of Fantasy Football! And to all you die-hard fans out there, give me some advice won't ya??

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.

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.
