15 Reasons To Get Excited For Le-Laf Week

Le-Laf week, every Lehigh student’s favorite time of year, is quickly approaching. The rivalry held between Lehigh and Lafayette is one that holds the record for the most-played college football rivalry in NCAA history. (The winner’s bragging rights earned each year also contributes to the fact that it is also one of the most trash-talked rivalries in college football.) That being said, the entire week leading up to the infamous game is one Lehigh students know and love all too well. Filled with tradition, spirit, and nonstop fun, it’s a week that many remember (or not) for years to come. After all, there is no victory sweeter than a victory over Lafayette. Haven’t experienced Le-Laf for yourself yet? Take a look at some of the highlights to expect.

1. When you realize the week is almost here and have the opportunity to go out for ten consecutive days.

2. So you spend the last night before Le-Laf week attempting to get all of your work done.

3. The first moment you hear the Marching 97 playing fight songs for the Eco Flame outside, you hope they’re coming into your classroom.

4. When the Marching 97 does barge into your classroom and your professor just sits off to the side, waiting for the debauchery to finish.

5. Seeing Lehigh gear everywhere on campus.

6. Checking your calendar and seeing that you have a 4 o'clock scheduled during Le-Laf week.

7. When you realize that your professor scheduled the exam for a Friday.

8. Yet you choose to maximize your Le-Laf week experience and go out anyway.

9. Screaming “F*CK LAFAYETTE” at the top of your lungs at any given moment, knowing that you will be supported by everyone else in the room.

10. Signing up for the Turkey Trot, then instantly regretting it when you remember the 2.4 miles are entirely uphill.

11. Watching bed races commence down on the front lawn.

12. Knowing that the flyers for bed races are substantially punnier than the actual event.

13. The game is another excuse to go buy that quarter-zip you’ve been eyeing up at the bookstore.

14. When your alarm goes off at 8 a.m. the morning of the game and you jump out of bed, throwing on every article of Lehigh gear you own.

15. Arriving at the stadium and seeing the seats packed with students and alumni, joining together for the common goal: to beat Lafayette.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
