13 Things That Happen When You Go To UK, But Aren't A Sports Fan

University of Kentucky sports is a huge deal. Campus life and community revolves around sports. Walking through campus, you see nothing but UK pride. It's not often that you run into a few people like myself, who attend UK, but aren't into the whole sports scene. Many people may not realize, but sometimes it's hard going to a school so big into sports. So, here are a few things that happen when you attend UK, but aren't exactly into sports.

1. You attend Caturdays, but never actually go into the football game.

2. You, most likely, don't own much UK gear, but proudly wear your same Kentucky sweatshirt everywhere you go.

3. You walk past well known players on campus without even noticing.

4. You immediately just smile and nod when someone tries to talk about the game with you.


5. You never get in heated arguments with opposing team fans, or literally anyone, when it comes to sports.

6. You are able to sit down and watch the game with friends, as long as there's food.


7. You will never truly understand why people must camp out for a whole week for Big Blue Madness.

8. You're always asking yourself in group conversations, What game?


9. Even when people talk about the game, it sounds like a whole other language.

10. Even though sitting in the freezing cold watching football for a couple hours seems fun, you would rather stay inside and watch Netflix.


11. The knowledge you do know about UK sports has most likely come from seeing it on social media or hearing someone talk about it.

12. You actually form great bonds with people who also have no idea what's going on in the sports scene.


13. No matter how hard you try, you still can't seem to get into sports, but you'll always cheer for the Cats because that's what everyone else does.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
