10 Struggles Every Buffalo Fan Goes Through
Katie Marino

Being a Buffalo Bills fan comes with a lot of struggles. Through the ups and downs, we still stand by our team even if they continue to make us buy lots of alcohol and drink the pain away.

Here're 10 struggles every Buffalo Bills fan encounters at some point in their lives.

1. Hearing the "Wide Right" joke 100 times.

Keep cracking those (lame) jokes, but Scott Norwood is still a hero to every person in the city of Buffalo.

2. You keep telling everyone that the team is still in the "rebuilding process."

It feels like Buffalo fans have been telling everyone for the last decade that we're still rebuilding. Truthfully, that's what we tell ourselves at night so we can sleep.

3. Hearing that Buffalo sucks because of the weather.

If you can't handle the cold, then Buffalo might not be the place for you. There's a specific breed that can handle the negative temperatures and the giant piles of snow — their called Buffalonians.

4. The only way to attend a playoff game is to see other teams play.

Seeing other teams play can be a bummer, but bringing Bills Mafia to different places is always exciting.

5. When people tell you Zubaz pants aren't actually pants.

Don't let those haters bring you down, keep rocking those Zubaz out in public.

6. Actually sobbing when Freddy Jackson got released.

The city of Buffalo was devastated when the news broke about Freddy being released.

He was a fan favorite, a good teammate, and a great role model.

Thank you, Freddy Jackson, we miss you.

7. Getting blamed for Kim Kardashian's fame.

You think going to the Superbowl four times in a row and losing all of them would be enough, but now we also have to be connected to Kim Kardashian in some way. We have enough to drink about, we don't need this problem in our life.

8. Having to deal with a new quarterback every year.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback position has been like a revolving door since Jim Kelly. Every couple years we've acquired a new quarterback who still doesn't lead us to the playoffs. It's OK, we're still "Bill"-eving.

9. Getting made fun of because we're the drunkest fans in the NFL.

You'd be drinking, too if your team didn't make it to the playoffs for 16 years straight.

10. Nervous about getting moved to a different city, but not anymore!

Suck it, Bon Jovi!

We are staying right here in Western New York, thanks to the Pegula family!

Out of the struggles every Buffalo fan goes through, it's all worth it in the end.

Let's go, Buffalo!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
