Friday Night Lights is the ultimate Texas high school football show.

You can't help but resonate with the small town of Dillion the deeper you get into the seasons. One of the most recognizable characters that you go from hating to love is none other than Tim Riggins. While he might be tough on the outside, Tim Riggins is a big softie at heart.

What's not to love?

His friendship/friends with benefits relationship with Tyra 

They could just kick back and hangout with each other but they also seemed to hookup most of the time whenever one of them was back in town. Oh well.

When we realized he was the "bad boy" of the show 

Every show has one, and here ladies and gentleman, it's Tim Riggins.

His love for football 

The fullback of our dreams.

His Texas twang 

I was baffled when I found out he's actually Canadian. Could've fooled me.

When he took Matt shooting when he was down 

...because that's the best way to get over a breakup, right?

When he gave Jason the game winning football 

When he went to Mexico with Jason 

...and stopped him from doing a risky operation that could have killed him.

How he always protected his teammates, on and off the field 

When he protected Julie and took her home after she drank too much at a party 

 ...And then didn't say anything when Coach Taylor thought he was taking advantage of Julie when he was trying to get her into her bed  

 When he protected Julie during a tornado 

 How he never gave up on Lyla

 Every single time he smiled 

 When he took Becky pageant dress shopping because her mom bailed 

 When we heard how Coach Taylor and Buddy spoke about him 

 How close he got to Jackie's son, Bo 

 When he found out those closest to him made him a highlight reel 

 Every time he kissed Lyla 

 When he day drank

Something about Tim not really having his life together just makes you like him more.

 When he drove around in his truck 

 When he smirked 

 When he quizzed the team on football plays 

 When he volunteer coached the East Dillion Lions with Coach Taylor 

 When he took the blame and went to prison so Billy could be a present father  

 When he wouldn't let Lyla give up on going to Vanderbilt just to stay in Texas with him 

 When he went to New York with Jason because he wanted to land a sport agent job 

 When he helped Tami Taylor with things around the house when he was staying at the Taylor's 

 How excited he was when he got into college 

 His undeniable love for Jason 

 When he apologized to the entire team 

 When he was always there for Becky 

Remember when Becky got pregnant and went to Tim?

 Every time he chanted "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" 

 "Texas Forever" 

Tim Riggins has a place in all our hearts and y'all know it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
