1. Attend a football game at Autzen Stadium
Football is not for everyone, but going to football game during college is a really great experience. Enjoy at least one game while you have the chance.
2. Float the Willamette River
The Willamette river may be freezing, but during summer it is tons of fun to get a group of friends and float down it.
3. Get a drink at Taylor's Bar and Grill
Taylor's is basically a right of passage for every University of Oregon college student, even if you don't like the bar scene. Maybe just go once so you can say you've been.
4. Hike Spencer's Butte
Spencer's Butte is a beautiful hike that everyone living in Eugene should experience at least once. It is even more special if you go at sunrise or sunset.
5. Attend a tailgate
Tailgating is a college ritual that everyone should experience. Everyone is in the best mood and showing off all their school spirit.
6. Visit the UO Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum
Being a University student gives you free access to the art museum on campus, and honestly it has very interesting exhibits.
7. Attend a frat party
When else but in college are you going to be able to go to a sweaty basement and dance with a bunch of your friends.
8. Pull an all-nighter with your friends
College is going to be one of the only times you will have the energy to stay up all night laughing and hanging out with your friends. Make the most of it.
1. Tony vs bulldog
If you're an Ole Miss fan or even if you're not an Ole Miss fan but at least pay somewhat attention to football, then you know that the Mississippi State Bulldogs are our rival, which is what makes this tweet so hilarious.
2. Winning games and then battling the refs
No matter the sport, we tend to be doing really well and then the game turns over to us vs the refs instead of us vs the other team.
3. Waffle House
Many Ole Miss students and members of the Oxford community REALLY want a Waffle House in Oxford. There is even an Instagram dedicated to trying to get one in Oxford!
4. The rise of Ole Miss sports
5. Celebration when Ole Miss athletics is on the come up
6. Kroger
The Oxford Kroger needs a MAJOR makeover. There are way too many students on top of the permanent Oxford residents to have THAT SMALL of a Kroger.
7. Bama game 2018
We will always remember the first few seconds of the Ole Miss/ Alabama game in Vaught Hemingway Stadium when we scored our one and only touchdown of the game.
8. Ole Miss basketball is rocking this season with new coach, Kermit Davis
9. Morgan Freeman
Ole Miss fans definitely hold pride in the fact that Morgan Freeman is a fan and comes to our games.
10. Powder blue
Many don't know the story behind why powder blue is one of Ole Miss' colors, (here's the link to the story if you want to know!!) but everyone LOVES it!
11. Betty White
Never forget when she was the celebrity to say "Are You Ready?" at one of the football games.
12. The accurate description of what it's like to be an Ole Miss fan
13. The Ole Miss Snow Chicken
14. Waffle House part two
The official Ole Miss account on Twitter ran a poll asking its followers what restaurant they'd like to have in Oxford in their perfect world. Although Whataburger might have been winning in the polls, there were still many Waffle House enthusiasts calling for Waffle House to be brought to Oxford.
15. Club Reb at the basketball games
17. The Breeland Speaks wave gif
This wave was made to a camera after recovering a fumble in the Egg Bowl in 2017. Priceless!
18. Katy Perry part two
19. Beating Bama in 2014
The picture says enough.
20. Vacating wins but we were there... we know how the games really turned out
21. REBEARSHARK
If you have kept up with Ole Miss AT ALL in the last few years, then you know we've sort of had a mascot identity crisis.
22. We're a BIG athletics school, so choosing which game to go to can be tough

Waking up at 6am for College Gameday
GiphyAs the early bird that I am, I live for these Saturday mornings. For those who don't know, Gameday is a morning program on ESPN every Saturday, where they go to different colleges before the game starts, and highlight plays, make jokes, and play a whole lot of wacky games. You can see the students in the back, getting their pre-game on and just coming together as a community to celebrate and root on their team.
It's actually hilarious, so if y'all don't watch it, you should!
Gameday food prep before kickoff
GiphyI can promise you that you haven't lived until you eat gameday food. The barbecues...the 7-layer dip...the cupcakes decorated to flaunt your team...YUM.
My boyfriend always barbecues burgers for gameday, and if that alone doesn't get you loving the football season, I have no idea what will.
Tailgating (or for those with water surrounding their stadium, sailgating)
GiphyLiving in Washington, we are blessed (sometimes) with being surrounded by water. With that being said, UW does this amazingly awesome thing before gameday: sailgating.
Yep, it's tailgating, but on a boat. How awesome is that?! In Washington before the UW games, fans go on their boats, sit on the shores of Lake Washington, and eat and drink their hearts out.
Anyways, a tradition that most people have is tailgating, where they pregame around other cars, with food and goodies (beer, beer, and more beer!) before the game. It's super fun, and a great way to connect with others cheering on the same team!
If you're watching from your couch, get ready for "The Screech"
GiphyI had mixed feelings on this one, but it slowly (I mean slower than a sloth) grew on me. "The Screech" is when football fans do a screech-ing noise and scream out their teams name, followed by a small dance. My boyfriend (bless his soul) does this every damn time the Seahawks kickoff. He even had the audacity to video record himself doing The Screech, and posting it on social media, where other fans cheer him on and Screech themselves.
You can imagine I have a love/hate relationship with this one.
The Superbowl Party (or college rival games)
GiphyThe big daddy of all big daddy's. Everyone, hardcore fans and people who do not even know the sport, come together and watch this game. Not just for the game, but for the food, the alcohol, the people, and the commercials/halftime show.
Superbowl Sunday should be a holiday, because it is celebrated all around the country as one. My boyfriend and I always go to Superbowl parties, and let me tell you, I wouldn't miss it for the world!
