A Superstitious Auburn Fan's Guide To The 2015 Season

Let’s be honest. They are many factors that play into Auburn's less than anticipated 2015 football season. Some blame coaching, others blame injuries. I just so happen to be a very superstitious fan who cringes at the thought of change and blame Auburn's less than perfect season, on these three main contributors.

The Jumbotron.

Massive isn’t even an adjective appropriate to describe this giant TV screen. Yes, it's great for instant replay, and the graphics are amazing, but I know I'm not the only one out there that was calling for the demolishment of the video board when Auburn went into overtime with JSU.

Orange shoes.

Let's take it back to the season opener in Atlanta: Auburn vs. Louisville. Auburn won, but this game had us all a little on edge. The blame for this unnecessary stress? The orange shoes. Yes, they are cool, and something new. But let's get real, we like tradition here at Auburn, and when you stray from that it makes us all a little nervous.

The hands.

Go, Go! How often have you seen these hand motions this season? This classic sideline move keeps us in the student section on our feet and pulling at the strands of our shakers.

In 2013, every time Auburn was down, and the pressure was at its highest, the students would begin to chant, “It’s great to be an Auburn Tiger.” When all hope seemed lost, we rallied behind our players and let them know we still believed.

I encourage each and every student to still believe in this Auburn team and rally behind them. No matter the season, no matter the outcome – I believe in Auburn and love it.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
