The Cats are only a few more weeks away from taking the field again at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. There are so many memories and traditions formed in Manhattan Kansas and they can all be seen in this fun and family environment. Purple everywhere and Willie the Wildcat running around getting the sold-out stadium excited. I hope you are as ready as I am!

1. Purple Pride Everywhere.

We all know the greatest color in the world is purple... especially a sea of it flooding a whole town!

2. Willie's push-ups

Hope you've kept in shape Willie... the Cats are ready to make you work.

3. Wabashing until you have a 6-pack

Basically qualifies as a work out for the day right? Lots of abdominal muscles put to good use.

4. Bill Snyder's windbreaker

Don't forget to follow @KSUWindbreaker to keep up with the inside scoop and best advice from a wildcat trustworthy source.

5. Unbelievable touchdowns by Isiah Zuber

I get chills thinking about the talent on the Wildcat's field.

6. Little kids in K-State cheer and football uniforms (nothing cuter)

We all have dreams of these being our future kiddos... they're too precious to ignore and not fall in love with!

7. Family visits

It's a treasure to get to see family when they come down and celebrate something you all love together!

8. All day tailgates

These can get the best of some people... but I've heard some of the best memories and friendships built from these early mornings and hot afternoons.

9. House-We-Built video playing on the jumbo-screen

These song can't do anything but make you happy and the video makes it that much more personable.

10. The Pride Marching Band pregame ceremony

I may be slightly biased getting to be a part of this tradition, but goosebumps and a giant smile takes over my body when waiting for the music to start.

11. Annual win against KU

No offense, but we don't have to "wait" for a season... we love and support ALL our school's sports.

12. Fort Riley game day

Honoring veterans and paying tribute to the brave builds for an amazing annual game day tradition in Manhattan, Kansas.

13. The family environment

There is a reason our stadium reads "Bill Snyder Family Stadium". A friendly and fun environment that I have been able to be a part of since before I could walk is another reason football season is such a great time for my family and I.

14. Making friends with strangers - EMAW!

Are there such things as strangers? You high-five anyone around you and you celebrate with anyone and everyone.

15. It's K-State football. Reason enough.

I mean c'mon... it's football! In Manhattan! Simple as that.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
