15 Truths Known To All Female Football Fans
Sam Smolenski Photography

When I was in high school I taught myself how to play/understand football. I watched any and all games during the season and officially started liking the Packers in high school after watching several games and liking how they played. But it wasn't just the Packers games that I enjoyed, I also enjoyed watching other games because I was still learning. But the more I learned the more I realized that being a girl and loving football is hard but I don't care. It's my escape.

1. You probably taught yourself the game.

And you're super proud of that.

2. You look forward to game days more than anything.

3. You actually know what you're talking about.

And you know the positions. But people probably still won't take you seriously because you're a girl.

4. You love to talk smack to the other team/fans.

But you only yell when you know you're right because if you're not then it's super awkward.

5. Knowing the players' names is like second nature.

P.S. I have a new favorite player!

6. Also, knowing the lingo and the hand signals from the refs is second nature as well.

7. You wear a jersey because you're a true fan, not a groupie.

And this is very important to you.

8. Putting down your phone during the game is easy.


9. But sometimes you need to get a shot.

But only because you're excited to be there not bored or wanting attention.

10. When you see others just on the phone the whole time or constantly taking photos it irritates you.

Because why are they there in the first place.

11. Most of your girlfriends don't understand the game.

And they don't understand why your so into, or obsessed, with football.

12. Football is your escape from the real world.

But when you tell people they look at you like you're crazy.

13. You'd rather watch a game then go out.

Because football is more important.

14. You look forward to your teams first game of the season.

Even if you can't be there in person.

15. You just love football and that's it.

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.

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?
