13 Reasons You Should Be Excited For Football Season At UA

Alabama football also is known as where we kiss the floor Nick Saban walks on. The season is finally here and after waiting all this time some may need refreshers on why you should be pumped to cheer on the tide this year.

1. The weather

Okay I know most of you guys are probably thinking ew because it is 90 degrees before noon almost every day but when you are getting up for game day and headed out to the quad you are not focusing on the sweat (well maybe a little) but we go to school in the South! At least it doesn't snow at this time of year.

2. We may not have the best schedule but we are number one

OK, so maybe no one knows who Citadel is, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't go to the game and cheer on our boys.

3. The battle for Quarterbacks

Jalen and Tua. Need I say more?

4. The 4th quarter heart palpitations

We all get them. Whether you are at the game or watching it on TV, those moments where your heart skips a beat. We live for the moments we are on the edge of our seats.

5. The Yellowhammers

A day where the sun in beating down your back and you just want to cool off on the strip. Look no further than Galletes and their famous Yellowhammers will help you cool down!

6. Two words: Nick Saban

The GOAT. He is a legend.

7. The Iron Bowl is in T-Town

I don't know about y'all but it doesn't get any better when a huge game like the Iron Bowl takes place minutes away from where you sleep.

8. Our offense

We explode when we get on the field. These guys know the drill and even if they are freshman they have watched film for hours on end to make sure their footwork is done correctly.

9. We have energy!

Some SEC teams have players that are slowly getting injured or don't play the same as when they were freshmen. The Tide is on top and that the motivation that each of the players has on the field and we show it off the field!

10. We still get people wanting Bama when they shouldn't

"We want Bama?" Yeah, OK, guys we will see you at the National Championship.

11. Opening weekend in Florida? Heck yeah

I may be bias since I am a Floridian but the first game of the season taking place in Orlando is a prime neutral location.

12. There will be more mentioning of the famous 2nd and 26

No one will ever forget that moment. Until the day Alabama football becomes irrelevant (which is not going to be for a long time) we will always remember the 2nd and 26.

13. The smell of beer in town

No, I am not crazy. Waking up and walking to campus and already smelling the spilled Natural Light on the pavement and hearing the rattle of game day buttons makes it clear it is game day in the South!

The best is yet to come and that is when the Tide take on Tuscaloosa on September 8 against Arkansas State.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
