15 Truths Known To All Female Football Fans

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
