11 Reasons Football Sundays Are The Best Sundays

Words cannot describe the excitement that surrounds fall Sundays. Dressing up, eating greasy foods and screaming at the television until Ryan Fitzpatrick listens to you and finally passes the ball to to Eric Decker for a touchdown is unbeatable. Drinking all day, either drowning your sorrows or celebrating your victory, forgetting that the day after Sunday is Monday, and feeling so insanely lucky if you actually get the chance to overpay to freeze your butt off with 82,500 other people can only mean one thing - football is back.

1. Being able to dress up in your teams colors and face paint and not get stared at for looking ridiculous. You’ll probably even get some high fives!

Pop-quiz: Guess which teams these cheese and chicken wing hats are for!

2. Experimenting with new treats in the kitchen that everyone is bound to love (most people are probably somewhat drunk so if it’s edible, it’s good).

3. It’s a completely acceptable procrastination method on Sunday. Did I finish my homework, no…but that can wait! It’s hardly the most important thing going on on a Sunday.


4. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel during a long week.

5. The random football fun facts and statistics the commentators come up with every week. Did you know that if you put your name on the Green Bay Packers season ticket waiting list you’d be waiting almost 1,000 years to get your tickets - just in time for Brett Favre’s next comeback! Who even thinks to compute these things?

But that's a welcome break from the cliche, "you can see the fight in [insert team players name]'s eyes," and "it's all about having courage, not fear" and "it's essential to get a good start because the first quarter counts just as much as the last" or my personal favorite, "[Team X] better keep [Team Y] out of the end-zone if they don't want them to score a touchdown!" No sh*t - that's how a touchdown is scored?!

Because I really thought you had to jump on the bouncy castle for the touchdown to count.

6. The eye roll you can give when people say “we played a great game today” and “our defense was incredible.” Are you on the team, I don’t remember seeing you out on the field?

7. Those tight leggings on those tight ends. Enough said.

8. Making fun of the teams that are embarrassingly bad…sorry, Dolphins.


9. Being one week closer to the Super Bowl every game

10. Making ridiculous bets with your friends. Did I really agree to wear an Eagles swimsuit outside in December?

11. That feeling you get when your team wins, all because you didn’t change your socks for a week, you screamed at the T.V. cheering them on and you never lost faith. You are welcome, New York Jets.

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.

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.
