College football is a big deal. It's the most wonderful time of the year; nothing is more magical than a college town on game day. While we can all agree night games are by far the best, everyone gets stuck with a morning game at some point in the season.
When the schedule comes out and you see that 11 a.m. game time, here are a few things that go through every student's mind:
1. Why???
Now you have to wake up early on the weekend. Not an ideal situation.
2. Maybe I'll just sit this one out and watch from home...
That way you don't have to get ready, and you can eat breakfast and watch in your pj's all in the comfort of your own home.
3. ...But you're only in college once and your game days are limited...
And you'll seriously regret passing up an opportunity to experience game day with your best friends.
4. Waking up for tailgate at 8 a.m. will be easier than waking up for your 8 a.m. class.
5. Better stock up on orange juice and champagne.
6. Or just get beer as usual because drinking beer before 11 a.m. is definitely not unheard of in college.
7. What do you wear when it's going to be freezing at 9 a.m. but hot at noon?
Jeans? Shorts? A sweater? How do you prepare??
8. Even though you got up early, when game time rolls around you're PUMPED.
If you don't lose your voice, was it really even game day??
9. Good news is you have enough time to nap before the festivities of Saturday night.
Because there's only one thing we love more than game day, and that's sleep.
