The Countdown To NFL Football

The Countdown To NFL Football

Every weekend in Fall, I look forward to one thing: football. Every Sunday, I can expect a day full of it. For the past few months, I’ve struggled without my weekly dose. But now it’s back. Football is back.

It’s been a long off season, and big off season moves went along with it. For instance, Ndamukong Suh joined my home team, the Miami Dolphins. With so many changes, how could football fans not be excited that NFL football is back? The preseason has only been a tease, but the season is fast approaching. Predictions are out, the preseason is coming to a close, and it’s almost show time.

Personally, I’m thrilled. Not only that football is back but that my Miami Dolphins are back too. Every fan has a team and they root endlessly for them. The Dolphins have been in a bit of a funk as of late, but the future looks bright. The preseason has showcased the ability of the team this year, but more than that the preseason showcases other teams' talents as well.

As a football fan, I enjoy simply watching the game. I have a team, and of course I root for them, but I truly enjoy watching the games. Every Sunday, I know that my couch is my friend; watching games and watching my computer. With the return of football comes the return of fantasy football. Watching every game helps me keep up with the team and we all know just how competitive fantasy football can be.

The schedules match ups are incredible this year. For example, the first two picks in this year’s draft are going head-to-head week one as the Titans take on the Buccaneers. I know that every Sunday I can count on some great games, watching great players make great plays. Football is back, and I can tell you with certainty that I’m counting down for it.

The preseason has been a reminder of why I am excited for the return of football, but enough is enough. Fantasy football doesn’t count the preseason. People have been keeping up with football news for the sake of seeing how their teams will play out in both their fantasy and their personal favorite team. Now the drafts are almost over, and I’m ready for the season to begin. In a few short weeks, the season’s back. It’s been a lot of talk and a lot of moves, but this is what fans live for.

With the season coming back, I have a lot to be excited for. My Sundays are back, and for that, I could not be more grateful. Personally, I’m hoping my Dolphins make it far this year, as they've been predicted to make the playoffs, but only time will tell. I think I speak for every football fan when I say that September 10th could not come nearly fast enough.

Make sure to take it all in this season because we all know how fast it blows by.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
