Why Football Season Is The Best
TheClevelandFan.com

With summer flying by, fall and the school year quickly approaching once again. But to me it only means one thing, football. High school, college, pro, even peewee...it's almost time. Games are less than two months away and I am so ready for my favorite time of year and I know there's gotta be some of you out there who feel the same way. Here are just a few of the things I am most looking forward to about this season of the best sport.

1. The Game

This may be stating the obvious ,but I am genuinely ecstatic to be able to watch and cheer on my favorite teams playing my favorite sport in just a few short months. To me there is nothing better than watching the game I love with my favorite people and I am so happy knowing it's not far off!

2. Tailgating

Whether it's the youngest or oldest players out on your field during the game, fans of all ages love to get to the game early to participate in games, eat food, drink whatever they please and have a good time as they prepare to watch the battle on the field!

3."Busy" Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays

Football seasons bring full weekends. Fridays with high school, Saturday with college and Sundays with NFL. If your lucky enough, you have even more days filled with other teams in other leagues! Nothing beats Friday night under the lights, followed by college game day on Saturday and a lazy Sunday leading up to Sunday night football.

4. Rivalries

You all know what I'm talking about. From the youngest ages, those boys have rivals on and off the field. In high school, the trash talking and occasional pranks on twitter, and so much more. That rivalry is in the entire student bodies blood from the moment they begin. At the college level it get's bigger, better and stronger in every way. As the player's get more talented, the competition and clashing of the rivalries only grows.

5. Student Sections

This one only goes for the high school and college levels, but their is nothing like it. The camaraderie between the students all screaming, chanting, dancing and doing anything they can to encourage their team on the field to do better is part of the package as a student section.

6. Fantasy Football

If you haven't been involved, get into it. It's the best feeling to compete against family, friends or even randoms as if you were actually playing the game yourself even though their is a slim chance you still, or maybe ever, could have. It's so much fun and there's usually nothing, or minimal, money to be lost, unless you so wish!

7. Game Day

There is nothing quite like a football game day. My most recent atmosphere has been college and I hope everyone has got to experience it. The feeling in the stadium, on the campus and in the city as a whole is irreplaceable. This goes for high school as well and NFL to an extent, but no matter where you are or who you are cheering for, cherish game day, it's a great feeling.

8. Gear

It is slightly more okay in season to sport attire from your favorite team or teams every day of the week when they have games coming up. Plus, each year brings new clothes, accessories and who knows what else to be released to stock up your collection and wardrobe. It's not acceptable, to have any less than the newest apparel (duh).

9. Traditions

Whether you have been watching the sport for two or 25 years, there is things that your and your friends or family only do. Maybe you inherit these traditions, maybe you start them new, maybe they've been passed down forever, maybe you do them cause you've seen someone random do them. Whether it's a Super Bowl party, Saturdays spent at the bar, Sundays spent tailgating at a game you'll never enter or Friday afternoon meals, you know you're excited to start those cherished traditions.

10. Winning

I don't need to explain this. There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING that replaces a win from the team you put your heart and soul into cheering for and supporting all year round and those coveted Ws are just a few short months away, so get excited!

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.
