How to Survive TCU Football Season

Remember when your parents used to tell you "it's just a game"? Forget it, that is not true with TCU football. Freshman, here is a guide to help you survive your first football season. Upperclassman, here is a refresher to help you enjoy another great season.

1. Stock up on purple.

Purple dresses, purple pants, purple polos, and purple purses. Oh, and some boots too. Stock up on all your purple gear because it is about to be put to good use.

2. Don't be surprised to find a mechanical bull or blow up slide.

You never know what to expect at a tailgate. Wear shorts under that cute purple dress just in case you want to partake in some fun activities.

3. Stay hydrated.

Texas summers are no joke. Standing in the student section for hours is brutal. Make sure to stay hydrated. No one wants to catch a friend passing out in the stands.

4. Wear sunscreen.

The sun is intense. We have all suffered from a necklace, purple, or strap burn. Please learn from our mistakes and wear sunscreen so you don't have a bizarre tan the next day.

5. Prepare to sweat.

You know those towels they hand out that we are supposed to wave in the air? They are great for drying your sweat. Get prepared to sweat a lot and take all your pictures right when you get into the stadium–because you won't look good after 30 minutes in the Texas heat.

So, fellow horned frogs, pull out your purple and be prepared to scream your head off. If you have a voice the day after game day, you did it wrong.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
