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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
