5 Ways To Explain Any And All Villanova Losses To Your Friends

1. "I mean... a bunch of our best players went to the NBA so we can't be expected to be as good as we were last year."

You need to let people know that we lost some amazing players after winning the championship, that way they know why we are playing a little differently.

2. "Yeah well after every championship win we need a rebuilding year. Just like every team!"

Yeah, so you really want to use some good vocabulary like rebuilding year. Of course, we have a ton of great veteran players on our team, but we are also trying to develop a ton of new stars alongside them.

3. "Well you see what happens is, once you win a championship, a bunch of great players get drafted to the NBA and so we have to develop a whole new team"

Really drill it home that we won a the NCAA championship last year, if you can, mention the 2016 win too. The more you flex, the less affected you seem by the loss.

4. "Yeah I mean... we lost, but if you think about, we came really close considering we started almost completely fresh from last year."

You always want to make sure you acknowledge that Villanova is CONSTANTLY exceeding expections. Win or lose, we blow the critiques out of the water, we can handle a loss. We will bounce back. (Plus we are training a bunch of new players to become as great as the current and past players on our amazing amazing team)

5. "We kind of have to expect to lose a few games considering our team is so new. Really, we are doing wayyy better than any other team could if they were in our situation, you know, being in a rebuilding year and all that."

...

No matter what you say. Just make sure to make it clear that even when we lose, we are better than the other team. Points.. what are they? We are WILDCATS. We are VILLANOVA. We are INCREDIBLE. Even when we take Ls we still come out on topo. Besides, it's like, a rebuilding year or something like that.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
