To My Last First College Football Game
Cassidy H Cunnyngham

Growing up my family watched sports yet we were not a huge football family. We would watch the Superbowl but if I recall, I would read a book or even study during. I went to a high school in rural Southwest Missouri that doesn't have a football team.

When I moved to Columbia for school at MU, I didn't think twice about not getting football tickets. Until my Junior year, I didn't attend a single Mizzou football game. My friends begged me and I just wouldn't give in, not really knowing what I was missing until I stepped into our huge stadium and got chills. The excitement, the crowd, the energy it was an europea I'd never gotten before.


This last weekend the Mizzou Tigers played Missouri State University. We haven't played MSU since 1923. That's been over 93 years the two schools have faced off against each other.


Part of me was excited to see a school so close to my home (MSU) play my alma mater. Part of me was hesitant because I have a few too many friends who attend MSU and if they beat MU who's in the SEC, well I just couldn't show my face around my hometown for a long while.


As the game started we scored a touchdown in the first 3 minutes. It was an amazing feeling as the crowd had a renewed energy for the new season and first game of the year. Surprisingly, as someone who's never been to a Bear's game, that they were able to keep up. Within the first 15 minutes, MSU had also scored a touchdown by one of our players not being able to outrun the MSU player. A majority of the first two quarters went this way while the Tiger grow grew relentless and tension was rising.

After the half time, it was like MSU just laid down and didn't offer a fight. Mizzou continued to score touchdown after touchdown with a final score of 72 to MSU's 43. Over 29 points to secure a shutout game for the Mizzou Tigers. I love all of my MSU friends and this isn't in any way to be mean, but we should all be proud of the schools that we attend. We should all support the games which our school plays because those players are peers that we go to school with. Be proud but remember to not get ugly at the end of it. It's just a game and who doesn't love a healthy competition?

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.
