The Stream Of Consciousness Of Bama Girls Vs. Bama Guys On Bama Game Day

What time is it? Oh right. It’s the most wonderful time of the year — no not Holiday season, football season. Or that’s how it might appear to someone who has never experienced an Alabama game day. Even if you have been to an Alabama game, your experience could be completely different from the person sitting next to you in the stands. Guys and girls tend to have different experiences, depending on what kind of football game it is going to be.

Let’s see what happens leading up to a 2 o’clock kickoff.

8:00 A.M.

Girls - Ohmuhgod I’m already late! There’s no way I can shower, blow dry, put my face on, curl my hair, straighten it when it doesn’t look perfect, try on half my closet, do my homework, find out where everyone is pregaming, find a ride to a pregame, balance my budget, workout, meet up with everyone for lunch AND get to the Quad at least three hours before kickoff.

Guys - Alright 6 hours til kickoff. I’ll just lie here for a while.

9:00 A.M.

Girls - *On the phone* “No Jenna, I don’t want to go to Sigma Apple Pie’s tailgate, Brock is going to be there... yes, we still have to walk past it if I’m going to look this good … How about Alpha Scrambled Eggsalot? They’re having jello-shots — wait one second, Jenna, my curling iron! My hair is on fire!”

Guys - Might as well watch ESPN and catch "College GameDay."

10:00 A.M.

Girls - Jersey or dress? Jersey with norts or skirt? How nice is this game? What team are we even playing? Do I have enough time to shower? Should I wear a dress or should I save it for a better team? But if I wear the dress I have to wear heels. If I wear the heels my feet will be destroyed. So maybe just the jersey? Or would my feet be OK in wedges?

Guys - Tough decision time... whiskey or vodka? How about both?

11:00 A.M.

Girls - How do I only have half a bottle of wine left? That’s not going to get me through four hours of a game. If Sophie would just get somewhere on time for once we could already be tailgating. Let me just throw everything I could possibly need into this ugly clear bag. Wait. WHERE IS MY GAMEDAY BUTTON?

Guys - Oh there’s my red polo. Doesn’t smell too bad, works for me. *gets phone call* “Oh hey man, yah, let’s meet at the tailgate in 30.”

12:00 P.M.

Girls - We finally made it. I can’t believe Brock was wearing a Beta Moo sticker - what a downgrade. How do I already have 10,000 steps in and we still haven’t met up with everyone we’re supposed to see? Crap I forgot to eat this morning. I forgot to check the weather too, I hope this dress doesn’t show sweat.

Guys - Natty and Miller? Sweet.

1:00 P.M.

Girls - OK, half my makeup has already slid off my face and my hair is somewhere between straight and frizzy. Is my foot bleeding? Probably. Good thing band-aids are the one thing I didn’t pack in this bag. Just focus on the calories you’re burning... almost makes up for not waking up early enough to workout this morning. We’re almost inside the stadium, I can do this. Time to go sit in a giant metal bowl for an hour while we wait for the game to start. I need to make sure I get pictures with everyone, but a really good one with Jessica so I can post it once I know we’re going to win.

Guys - Alright let’s move I want to practically be on the field.

2:00 P.M.

Girls - Roll Tide.

Guys - Roll Tide.

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?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

181136

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
