Everyone wants to be supportive of their school team but sometimes they make it really hard to do. Any Tennessee fan could tell you that this season the Vols are making it harder than its ever been to be a true fan. Although not everything about being a fan is bad.

Here are 9 times Game of Thrones accurately depicted what it's like to be a Tennessee fan.

Getting a ticket to the game and wondering if you'll regret it

Nobody wants to buy a ticket just to end up leaving halfway through the game, or less than halfway, and doing the walk of shame back to your car or dorm room.

Thinking we'll beat Alabama this year but watching the scoreboard the entire time like

Let's be real, though, this has been the mood the entire season.

Being too hot during afternoon games but too cold during night games

When it comes to the weather, it actually plays a big part in how fun games can be to attend. It's not fun to have afternoon games in 100-degree weather and night games in 30-degree weather.

Butch. He has to go.

Is it possible he's just sadistic and likes seeing us in pain? Who knows but one thing Tennessee fans sure know is that he needs to go!

That feeling of disappointment when you know the third down song is coming but it's the wrong one.

I think we can all agree on how badly we miss the "third down for what" song that rang through Neyland and how much we think the new song is garbage.

Smokey

Like house Stark our mascot is also a dog and he's honestly one of the best things about us. When the Vols fail us at least Smokey has our back!

Absolutely nothing is better than hearing Rocky Top when the Vols do score though

Rocky Top is probably one of the greatest songs in the world and there is no denying that it's a good game day when you get to hear it, scream it, and do a little dance to it!

Hoping we'll do better next season

Maybe when the next season comes around we'll do better but in the back of your mind you're wondering if you picked the right SEC school to attend or even support.

But at least you can drink your way through the game if all else fails

With that logic you might just have to keep drinking and drinking and drinking some more but at least you'll be enjoying something while watching the game.

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.
