Minnesota Wild

Minnesota Wild fans never give up hope that one day the Stanley Cup will make it's way to the State of Hockey. In honor of the Stanley Cup playoffs here is a list of 10 things Minnesota Wild fans do regardless of whether we win or lose.

1. You buy way too much Wild Apparel.

You can never have enough, and you've invested way too much money into your collection.

2. You shout "AGAIN" after the Wild score another goal.

Okay maybe that one is just me, but as a Minnesotan, you probably know every hockey movie quote and use hockey terms on a daily basis. Because you're a hockey fan, you sound like a total goon.

3. You follow the players religiously.

You probably know where they're from, what number they are, what position they play, their life story, and most importantly how to pronounce their name.

4. ...for obvious reasons.

The Wild players are just super Minnesota nice. Check out the story of Jason Zucker and his friend Tucker Helstrom; it might make you cry. (Star Tribune: Jason Zucker)

5. You get chills anytime you walk into the Xcel Energy Center.

The Xcel Energy Center just has that electric feeling; nothing gets you more jacked than watching the Wild at The X.

6. You try to chirp the opposing team but also realizing they have a Cup and you don't (but that's about to change soon).

Trying to be Minnesota nice but you just really don't like the Blackhawks.

7. You celly hard after Granny scores a dirty goal.

Even if you're not at the Xcel during a game, the bars are full of energy.

8. You make sure people know that you are a Wild fan.

You're a hardcore Wild fan, and for some reason, people need to know this.

9. You're addicted to everything Wild.

Do I have enough Wild stuff, probably but if I see cool Wild gear, I will probably buy it.

10. You forgive and forget easily because you love the game and you love this team.

Yeah, the Wild have a history of playing strong then they disappoint you when it counts but like all Minnesota sports teams you never give up hope that one day they'll finally make it to the top.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

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.
