It's Not Easy Being A Buffalo Bills Fan

But we always have next year right?

It's Not Easy Being A Buffalo Bills Fan
Buffalo Bills sad fan

The Bills have the longest playoff drought out of any team in the NFL. Even crazier than this, they actually have the longest current drought out of any major sports team in North America, and that includes baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. After 16 seasons, the Bills haven't made it past their regular games in the 21st century.

So while this time of the year is usually filled with joy for the holidays, it is usually a much different case for Bills fans. We start the NFL season filled with hope and cries of "this year being our year," sure we will finally win the title of Super Bowl champs that our franchise has never seen. And then usually after a few weeks those hopes turn a little bit more realistic, with the belief that we will at least break the streak and make the long eluded playoffs. But finally December rolls around and the chances that we will even make the playoffs dwindles down to somewhere between 0-10%.

Our high expectations for this season are all but gone, but one thing Bills fans are is resilient. We already start looking forward to the next season before this one even finishes. Calls for coaching and QB changes are ever prevalent in the hopes that we can finally bring Buffalo the winning combination it needs. Each year brings a lot of disappointment for the Bills Mafia, but as hardened and tough Buffalonians we can handle it. We've lived through four Super Bowl losses in a row and we deal with one of the most brutal winters in the country but the Bills are one of the things we can all rally behind. So maybe 2016 wasn't actually our year, but we always have next year. Or the year after that. Or the year after that. (Just one Super Bowl win before I die please).

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
