As the NFL (National Football League) season is starting to end, there are a few things that are said during most games. Some of the things that happen during football games leave us scratching our heads and wondering what just happened. The list below is some things that are said while watching NFL football games.


1. "Where is the flag?!?!"

If you watch football you know what I'm talking about. The referees don't make the best calls sometimes, including when everyone but the referees sees a penalty that should have been called.

2. "He was in or out of bounds!!!!"

Some catches that are made can be questionable, especially when the catch is close to being out of bounds. When this happens a coach can challenge the ruling on the field. Once the referees view the play again they will either reverse the ruling on the field or keep the ruling on the field; if the refs keep the ruling on the field the team that challenged the play will lose a time-out.

3. "What was that?"

I think this one is self-explainable. There are some plays that happen that 'What was that?' is the only thing that you can say.

4. "Throw the ball!"

Some teams don't have the best running game or aren't great at running the ball. Which means some quarterbacks just need to throw the ball.

5. "Run, boy, run!"

Your team has the ball and is taking the ball down the field.

6. "How did you drop that?"

You caught the ball, you are running the ball, and you randomly drop the ball. No one is near you, but you still manage to drop the ball. The only question us fans have for you is 'How?'

7. "He was wide open!"

Dear quarterback, you have a receiver that is wide open, but you still throw the ball to your receiver that has two or three people on him. WHY DO YOU DO THIS???

8. "SACKED"

A sack can either be a good thing or a bad thing. It depends on if your getting sacked or if you're the team that's getting sacked.


There are several other things that are said and sometimes yelled during an NFL game, but the list would be never-ending if I were to put all of them here.

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.
