Saints

If you bleed black and gold and you are screaming "Whodat" at the T.V. every Sunday in the fall, then you are probably a Saints fan. Saints fan are some of the most loyal fans in the entire NFL. From the "Whistle Man" to the fans dressing up likes actual fans, the Saints players know that they have some of the best fans in the league. In addition, there are also many things that offer a distiction bewteen Saints fans and other NFL fans. Here are a few:

1. The word “Whodat” is a part of your vocabulary.

The chant goes “’Whodat, Whodat, Whodat say they gonna beat them Saints,” and Saints fans have this engraved into their souls

2. Your favorite colors are black and gold. Literally.

My household is filled with gold walls and black accents. Almost all my wardrobe is black and gold. And my future wedding colors will be black and gold. Wait on it.

3. You have a love for the Manning family.

The Mannings were born and raised in New Orleans, and Archie Manning was a star QB for the Saints. So, even despite Peyton and Eli deciding to take their football careers elsewhere, there will always be love for them (and even Cooper too).

4. You get extremely excited when you see a Saints fan anywhere besides Louisiana.

My family no longer lives in Louisiana, so every time I see somewhere wearing Saints apparel here up north, I become so excited and go introduce myself to this person. The same goes for fans still living in Louisiana when they travel the country on vacation. My dad is notorious for yelling “Whodat” all around Disney World.

5. Abdul’s CD's are apart of your everyday music

Abdul is a singer that has made tons of CDs of songs that are all about the Saints. If you’re like my family, vacation car rides consist of 12 hours of straight up Saints jams such as “What I like about Deuce” and “Black and Gold Fan.”

6. You hate the Falcons as much as you love the Saints. (That’s a lot).

The Saints and the Falcons have a huge rivalry. The two teams love to hate on each other. But we all know who the better team is. In the past ten years, the Saints and the Falcons have met in regular season 20 times, and the Saints have won 15 of those matches. Whodat.

7. Your Monday mood at work depends on how the game went on Sunday.

You can either be in the happiest, most cheerful mood, or you can be the devil himself. Just leave it up to the Saints to determine that.

8. You might pull your hair out if you see Cam Newton dab one more time.

And you were also a huge Broncos fan in Super Bowl 50 (Go Peyton).

9. November 1 is a holiday for you

November 1, 1967, the day the Saints were created. It’s All Saints Day for many people celebrating religiously, but for you, All Saints Day is the day the greatest team in football was created.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
