Alright Tiger fans, get your hands up for Bodda Getta!

The ABC's Of Auburn Football
performgroup.com

Summer is definitely one of my favorite seasons, but my all-time favorite season of the year is coming: football season. You can catch me cheering for Auburn every Saturday in the student section at home games. Here are a few of my favorite things about Auburn football.

A is for Aubie

Everyone's favorite tiger, and kind of a big deal among college mascots.

B is for Bodda Getta

Does anyone really know what Bodda Getta means? Not really, but you'll still hear it coming from the student section every five minutes.

C is for Cam Newton


D is for Daniel Carlson

The best kicker in college football. Not only did he make almost every field goal last season, he also made a touchdown against Arkansas State. What a guy.

E is for Eagle

Sure I may be scared of birds, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Spirit and Nova.

F is for Fight Song

There's nothing better than hearing the band play this before every game.

G is for Game Day Buttons

Whether it be "*insert sorority here* loves the Tigers" buttons or just the one's they hand out at the bookstore, they are a must have to pin on your game day dress or Bo Jackson jersey.

H is for Hype Videos

These are played before every football game, and if you're not excited about the game, you will be after you watch these videos.

I is for Iron Bowl

Because most people in Alabama believe that the holiday that follows Thanksgiving isn't Christmas, but rather the Iron Bowl.

J is for Jordan-Hare Stadium

They say Disney is the happiest place on Earth, but I beg to differ.

K is for Kick Six

Something Auburn fans will never forget and neither will Alabama fans (mainly because we're always talking about it.)

L is for Lemonade

There's nothing better than drinking Toomer's lemonade on a Saturday in Auburn before a game.

M is for Malzahn

Gus is one of the few people that can pull of the sweater vest and coach a football team at the same time.

N is for National Championship

Okay so we don't have as many as that school in Tuscaloosa, but hey at least we'll always have 2010.

O is for "On the rolling plains of Dixie..."

Win or lose, one of my favorite things ever is singing the alma mater in the student section after a game.

P is for Pat Dye Field

Named after 1981-1992 Auburn head coach Pat Dye, this field has seen the entire student section rushing on to it after the 2013 Iron Bowl and has been a place so many football players have called a second home.

Q is for the Quad

The most convenient place you can live during football season since the stadium is right outside your window.

R is for Rolling Toomer's

Even thought the original oaks are gone, it's still fun to roll the trees after a win.

S is for Six Kicks

With the help of Daniel Carlson, that's all it took to beat LSU.

T is for Tailgating

You know it's almost game day when you get off the transit, and you see them putting up the white tents on the green space.

U is for Uproar

One of my favorite things about Auburn is the football student section. Everyone is always loud and cheering for our team even when the chances of winning the game aren't looking so good.

V is for Vincent Edward Jackson

Better known as Bo Jackson. You can catch about half the student section wearing a number 34 jersey on game day.

W is for War Eagle

One of my favorite things is hearing the entire stadium say "Waaaaar Eagle" at kickoff. It is also my favorite phrase that can be used in any situation. Won the football game? War eagle to that. Failed a test? War eagle to that, too.

X is for eXpect The Unexpected

Even if Auburn is losing the game, wait until the clock hits 0:00. A lot can happen in one second...

Y is for Yelling Voice

Because if you're not there to cheer for Auburn, then what are you doing?

Z is for Zero Parking.

There's never any parking in Auburn during any other time of the year, and this is made so much worse when there's people from all over coming to the game. You're better off walking, but trust me, it's worth it.

So if you've never been to an Auburn game, I would 10/10 recommend it.

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.
