A Note To The Champions

Guys, you did it. You won the College Football National Championship. ( I smiled typing that because it's still so crazy.) I know it's unbelievable for you guys but for the fans, it's just indescribable. It's something we have been waiting on for so long, just as you all have and oh what a celebration it was!

I'm certain you realize just how big this is and what an incredible journey you all have been on to get where you are today.

From the very first game against Auburn to the very last second of the Natty, you've fought. You fought to win. Blood, sweat, and lots of tears. ( Trust me, we all cried at the ending of the game.) You did it.

Whether you sat on the sidelines all year or played in every game, YOU ARE A CHAMPION. I don't care if you're a walk on or a 5 star recruit, you, my friend, are a champion. A national champion, that is. You should be so proud.

For me this National Championship was special. I got to watch someone I went to school with win a National Championship and that was amazing. Seeing someone you attended school with and watched play on Friday nights, win a National Championship is something words can't describe. Kendall, keep shining! The Belton and Honea Path communities love and support you!

As you rode the bus home to Clemson and drove over the hill to see thousands of fans waiting to greet you, I know you were emotional. Don't ever doubt how much you are loved by every single person that was there and even those that weren't. Clemson Nation is behind you and we support every single one of you.

Seniors, you will definitely be missed at Clemson but don't ever stop chasing your dreams. The NFL is getting the best. No matter where you get drafted, you are there on purpose, for a purpose. God's got you, friend!

As a fan, I rejoice with you in such an emotional win. 35 years later, that trophy is back home where it belongs. Dang, that's crazy.

I know you won't forget the last second of the Natty when Deshaun Watson threw the football and it soared into Hunter Renfrow's hands for the most exciting touchdown, ever. That moment was priceless and something nobody will ever forget.

So, when you're at Clemson and you see the trophy, thank God for giving you this opportunity and remember the moment and as Dabo said,"the best is yet to come!" Don't let your light burn out!

GO TIGERS, always!

Love,

A Clemson Girl who bleeds ORANGE

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.
