15 Spots Every 'Friday Night Lights' Fan Needs To Visit
USA Today

It's safe to say that some people take binge-watching to a whole new level— and I would be lying if I said I didn't overly invest my time and emotions in some of these TV shows, too. Some shows make more of an impact than others but for the ones that do, every little detail gets noticed as if it were their new religion.

"Friday Night Lights" is located in the fictional town of Dillon Texas but in actuality the filming of the show takes place in Austin and Pflugerville, which is roughly 25 minutes away from each other. Who would have ever thought? I don't know about you, but I'm just about ready to pack my bags and head to the Lone Star State. Road trip, anyone?

Although, there are tons more— here's the top 15 film locations of NBC's hit series, "Friday Night Lights" that every FNL obsessed fan has to visit:

1. Alamo Freeze

OK— yes this is actually a Dairy Queen but this is where the Alamo Freeze takes place in the show! Ice cream, for days.

Address: 5900 Manor Rd., Austin, Texas

2. Brian "Smash" Williams Residence


Smash Williams home. It's too bad he left the show in Season 3.

Address: 2607 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, Texas

3. East Dillion High

Not too shabby. I'd go to school anywhere to land a chance of meeting (hopefully, marrying) Tim Riggins, tbh.

Address: 3900 Avenue B, Austin, Texas

4. East Dillon Practice Field

The only thing missing are our Panthers, am I right?

Address: 2271 Riverview St., Austin, Texas

5. Garrity Motors

PLOT TWIST: It's actually a Chevy dealership.

Address: 6328 Interstate 35 Frontage Rd., Austin, Texas

6. Kuempel Stadium (Panther's Field)

If "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" doesn't automatically come to mind when looking at this field, you don't love FNL enough.

Address: 1301 Pecan Street, West Plugervielle, Texas

7. Panther Field House

One side of the building was used East Dillon locker room while the other side was painted red for the merge to West Dillon.

Address: 1504 E 51st St, Austin, TX

8. PromiseLand Church

Ugh, how can we forget the time Tim went to church with Lyla

Address: 1504 E 51st St, Austin, TX

9. Ray's BBQ

The famous East Dillon hang out spot. Obviously, we can't leave this filming spot out.

Address: 6302 Monsanto Dr., Austin, Texas

10. Riggins's Residence

Bring. Me. Tim. Riggins. Please. And. Thank. You.

Address: 2604 Lehigh Dr., Austin, Texas

11. Saracen Residence

The only thing missing right now is Matt's grandma sitting by the steps watching him throw with Landry. Ugh.

3009 Kuhlman Ave., Austin, Texas

12. Taylor Residence

The home of the the man, the myth, the legend... and his family.

Address: 6805 De Paul Cove, Austin, Texas

13. Tim Riggins's Land

Oh, yes. The land that Tim plans on building his (our) future on.

Address: 7252 Burleson Manor Rd., Manor, Texas (this is probably farther down Burleson Manor Road from 969)

14. Vince's Howard's Residence

Troubled, but it's so hard not to love him. It's interesting though, do you notice what I'm talking about? (hint: we've seen this place before)

Address: 2681 East Cesar Chavez St., Austin, Texas

15. West Dillon High

The transition wasn't easy, but who wouldn't want to make a stop here? It was a huge part of this show.

Address: 1401 W Pecan St, Pflugerville, Texas

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
