Frenzy is not just a game. (Well, it is, but we don't take it lightly.)

20 Thoughts Oklahoma State Fans Had During Football Frenzy

The annual Football Frenzy tournament at Oklahoma State is a BIG deal. An entire weekend is spent attending games and cheering on your team as loud as your vocal chords allow, all the while your face is covered in paint and you're dressed completely in one solid color. And despite your team's success, there's a good chance you had all of these thoughts during this past weekend.

1. "Wow, this face paint is itchy."

But very, very worth it.

2. "What even is the score?"

Really, I will buy a whiteboard and markers so we can actually follow the game.

3. "Why is this a theme for a football game?"

No one knows, but it's fine.

4. "Those poor freshman boys."

They're always the ones getting stuck with being painted up and going shirtless to games, no matter the temperature. You can literally see the paint peeling off their backs. Isn't that uncomfortable?

5. "Isn't that flag heavy?"

How is it possible to run that big of a flag across the field in the Oklahoma wind? Yep, freshman boys, you got it.

6. "Where is the white line?"

After the first game, you really can't see the white line you're supposed to stay behind. I apologize for all the sideline checks, exec.

7. "If we don't win spirit..."

Honestly, every team goes all out. If you don't wonder how you couldn't win spirit, you're not doing frenzy right.

8. "How many times are we going to do this chant?"

The cheers can't ever stop, and there's only so many to do. The amount of times one cheer is done during one 45 minute game is probably close to 100. "We ready..."

9. "Yep, my voice is gonna be gone."

You can feel your throat getting scratchy from all the cheers and the occasional voice cracks are just some insight into what your voice will sound like two games from now.

10. "I don't even dress up this much for date parties."

Themes are a big deal for frenzy, and you probably put more effort into them than you do for date parties. But that's the expectation.

11. "Yes. We are definitely driving."

The walk to the intramural fields from Greek row was way too long. You probably walked to only one game.

12. "We can be friends again once the game is over."

You have friends in plenty of different houses, but when it's game time, you're not friends.

13. "WE'VE GOT SPIRIT, YES WE DO, WE'VE GOT SPIRIT, HOW 'BOUT YOU?"

There was never a winner to this game, either.

14. "Yeah, our sign is better than yours."

You spent hours helping make a sign that won't be used ever again in two days, but it's definitely worth it.

15. "I better be able to take a nap before our next game."

There were numerous, numerous, numerous games a day and you just hoped that they would be at least two hours apart.

16. "This tulle was definitely not worth it."

It's a big event, so of course we buy tulle. But really, it's just itchy and keeps falling out.

17. "I cannot see a thing."

There should definitely be bleachers. Having over 200 people on the sidelines made it definitely super difficult to see anything that was happening during the game.

18. "Don't pull his pants down!"

You probably saw a lot of players' pants be almost pulled down while people grabbed at their flags. Let's keep it PG, people.

19. "It is way too early."

The tournament is actually so big that you're up at 9 AM and wondering all the while why you still love frenzy so much.

20. "I sure do love Homecoming."

Most of the time we're wondering why we do it, but in the end, we love it. Congrats to FarmHouse - Kappa Delta!

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
