If You Give a Nole A Natty

Florida State's opponents like you've never seen them before.

If You Give a Nole A Natty

It's no secret that the Florida State Seminoles have made their fair share of enemies over the past few years. Between that tragic road loss to NC State in 2012 that still leaves a bad taste, and all of the teams that said we were "overrated" in 2013 that fell victim to the arm of Jameis Winston and his band of titan wide receivers, there are definitely more popular teams in college football. 

One thing is for sure when it comes to game day with Seminole fans - win or lose (not that we lose), we booze. So in true Seminole spirit, I have compiled a list of Florida State, known enemies, and some future opponents in comparison to your favorite (or least favorite) alcoholic beverages. 

  • Clemson - Screwdrivers

Have you ever started the day with some breakfast cocktails without a worry in the world, then ended up with a splitting headache? Sounds a lot like this year's Clemson game. While these drinks and that game (pre-Jameis suspension) should be a walk in the park- they are known to end up causing some trouble and temporarily knocking you down. 

  • Notre Dame - Grey Goose

If ever there were a match made in heaven, it would be Grey Goose and Notre Dame. Why, you may ask? Because they're both overrated. First and foremost, Ron Swanson told us best that clear alcohol is for rich white women on diets, but also because too many people consider Grey Goose top shelf, while it pales in comparison to many other quality vodkas. I mean, come on- Notre Dame isn't even in an NCAA-affiliated conference.

  • NC State - Everclear

Hear me out on this one. How often do you hear someone talking about a night with Everclear? Not often because they probably don't remember drinking it, and because it's disgusting. While NC State may not have the best football program, they still leave a gross taste in any Seminoles mouth who remembers that tragic road loss in 2012 and we would like to forget it. See? Perfect fit.

  • University of Miami - Don Julio Tequila

Whenever they come to town it's a good time while it lasts, and recent history has shown that it will end in a victory. We hate Miami, but not quite as much as Florida, so the banter is a lot more playful and the tailgates have a rowdy atmosphere. However, the morning after is miserable, much like the morning after a few too many margaritas, or even worse, shots of tequila. Not to mention any team that wears orange on game day induces vomiting and on top of that, Don Julio isn't easy on the wallet, just like an education from UM.

  • University of Florida - Natural Ice

This is the bottom of the barrel. The lowest of the low. Not even Natty Light, the Gators rest at the absolute bottom of the totem pole. Between their embarrassing 2013 season (can I get a four and eight?), the hideous shade of orange they rock on game day, and their obnoxious overuse of the Jaws theme song during games, its safe to say there is no redeeming factor about this team.

  • Florida State - Fireball

You didn't know the F in FSU stood for Fireball? Well now you do. The 'Noles know how to turn up and nothing leads to that better than a night with our good friend Fireball Whisky. While it may not be top shelf, it's sometimes the best we can do on a college budget, and always leads to good times, much like game days in Tally. On top of this, despite our slow start to the season, losing isn't in our vocabulary lately, so we're on fire.

At the end of the day, the 'Noles are top shelf in our hearts and nothing else matters. Maybe if a repeat national championship is in the cards (fingers crossed) we can make all the haters see why. But at the end of the day, win or lose, we booze.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
