South Alabama Upsets Mississippi State 21-20.

South Alabama? Who? That's right, South Alabama upset Mississippi State in their first football game of the season on Sept 3. The final score was 21-20.

The team didn't start out great. The first quarter score was 7-0, MSU, and the second quarter score was 10-0, MSU. South Alabama had one fumble, two punts, and a missed field goal in the first half.

The second half went much better. They were able to score in the first drive of the second half with a touchdown pass from Dallas Davis to Josh Magee, making it 17-7, MSU. There wasn't another score until the fourth quarter. The next score in the game was a field goal made by MSU kicker, Westin Graves. This made it 20-7, MSU.

In the fourth quarter, South Alabama scored two touchdowns, one was a pass to Gerald Everett, and the other was a run by Tyreis Thomas. MSU had the ball at the end of the fourth quarter with a chance to kick a field goal and win the game, but Graves missed it, making the final score 21-20, South Alabama.

This was South Alabama's first ever SEC win, and with the confidence they probably have now, I bet they keep winning their big games. The next game they play will be against Georgia Southern at home, and their next "big game" is against San Diego State. I am confident in their talent, and I am interested in what they have to bring to the table.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
