Sweet Home College Station

Whoever said crimson is the new maroon was seriously disturbed.

Sweet Home College Station

Fall in the south revolves around one thing and one thing only… college football. The SEC is regarded as the most accomplished American athletic conference in terms of national championships. Football is far more than a sport, it's a way of life. The lines are drawn in a house divided at kickoff, and families are torn apart by rivalries. Our mothers tried their best to raise well behaved ladies and gentlemen, but southern hospitality is put on hold for three months come September. From over the top tailgating in Oxford to standing with the 12th Man at Kyle Field, each and every school has its traditions. However, we put our differences aside to pick up the pitchforks and torches to rally against public enemy number one, The Crimson Tide. The University of Alabama is a football dynasty, and while many loyal fans would argue that our hatred for houndstooth stems from jealousy, that couldn't be further from the truth. What do we have to be envious of? Missing teeth, incestuous relationships, a below average I.Q.? For crying out loud, Forrest Gump is U of A's most notable alumnus; it's almost too easy for us. We might not have BTHO Nick Saban and his minions this past weekend, but there's always next year. These were some of the highlights of Bama Hate Week 2016...

This is how you remind me of what I really am- a fightin' Texas Aggie.

C'mon Saban, that's just bad bull.

"You don't have to be lonely at cousinsonly.com"

At least Nick Saban is putting himself out there... let's just hope he doesn't swipe right on one of his cousins.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in maroon makes all the girls swoon.

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.
