There are many schools around the country that have big Division One football teams, there are some that just have small not so good football teams and then there are the schools with no football teams.

Football is a way to connect, a social experience and if you don't have a football team you cant experience the Friday night lights or hot Saturday games. Here are 4 struggles of attending a school without a football team.

1. Seeing everyone else at football games.

Whether it's your old high school or your friends at college, the month of September is full of football. It's upsetting seeing all the people you would love to be with at exciting games. Don't get me wrong, soccer is great, but when you would much rather be in a huge stadium watching your team tackle it can be upsetting.

2. You miss out on tailgating.

The experience of the big tents, loud music, and grass games are a staple in college. With no team or no big stadium, you can miss out on those moments you'll be seeing all over social media. Don't worry though, they probably will have no memory of the actual game.

3. You don't get to go crazy and dress up for the game.

Part of the experience is getting all dressed up in college apparel, painting your face, and possibly even dying your hair for the big games. The atmosphere of seeing all the school spirit come together is unbeatable and for the girls the experience of getting ready with your girls for the big game.

4. You can't brag about how your team is #Winning.

Everyone loves when the team they proudly represent wins. The cheering, the excitement, and the loud stadium is something you'll never forget.

Now while there are many downsides when you don't have a team you do save money, save time, and save a headache after.There are many other things to do in college and the experience itself is one in a million. Try new things, attend new sports, and go out with friends you will forget all about your nonexistent football team until you see another Snapchat on Saturday.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
