Why To Watch College Football in 2016
NPR

College Football has become so much more exciting since the playoff system has been put in. There is so much to analyze to predict if your team will be included in the top four put together by the playoff committee at the end of the year. The format by no means is perfect, but as a fan it just makes it more interesting. It is heartbreaking to see your team left out, but thrilling to see them included. College Football lost a lot of its superstars to the NFL Draft but that is no reason to stop tuning in on Saturdays. New guys will be stepping up and competing for their respective starting roles. There are a lot of reasons why 2016 will be a great year for College Football and here's a few of them:

The Heisman Race

Everybody knows a few of the Heisman favorites for next year. The big three seem to be Deshaun Watson, Leonard Forunette, and Christian McCaffrey. While I do agree with those, I want to throw Josh Rosen of UCLA in the mix. He has the pocket presence of an NFL veteran and looks very poised to be one of College Football's stars in his sophomore season. Also, you can never count out the workhorses that are McCaffrey and Fournette. There is no clear pick this early to who will win. Throughout next season I predict we will see a tight race for the Heisman trophy.

The Traditions

College Football traditions are some of the coolest things you will ever see. College Football is all about respect and it starts with respecting the team's traditions. Every school has them, some more significant than others. There is nothing quite like witnessing traditions take place at a college football game. It is what brings a whole campus of students or a city in general together. Brad Paisley's song "Country Nation" is as perfect representation of what these traditions are all about.

Rivalries

Rivalry Weekend is my favorite event in College Football. There are so many good games on and so much to watch. The history behind some of these rivalries is just amazing to look at and it only makes the passion of the fans and player stronger. These rivalries in CFB are some of the largest in all of sports. In 2016, I cannot wait for Rivalry Weekend and what it entails!

There are many more analytical reasons why to watch but I'm not going to get into those. I will always be counting how many Saturdays left until September 3rd. Everything you loved last year in College Football will be back this year, and I cannot wait for it all to begin!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
