11 Reasons Football Sundays Are The Best Sundays

Thank goodness you’re back; it took you long enough!

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
