Let's get this straight: I do not hate basketball and actually quiet enjoy the sport!!

March Madness stresses me out and it happens so fast that if you don't already have a bracket filled out starting February 17th you're already losing. This happens to me every year.

If you don't care about basketball, then make some of these brackets!

1. Trump administration

There are tons of open positions in the current administration, so what better way to watch everything burn than create a bracket for who will take what spot?! Way more entertaining than basketball.

2. Deciding what Netflix show to watch next

It's so complicated, especially when you've watched every early-2000s-teen-coming-of-age-drama series. Ugh.

3. President 2020

We're only 2 years away from a new president, which means midterms are coming soon and so will the beginnings of campaigns. Start placing your bets now!!

4. Hottest basketball player in the NBA

They're all tall and muscular so I really won't be mad who wins.

5. Hottest basketball player in the NCAA

If I start to slide into some DMs now, will I get a trophy husband by the time I graduate??

6. RuPaul's Drag Race contestants

This fandom is insane. They probably already know who's going to be on the next next next season. I would do research before entering any bracket.

7. Where to go for brunch

With so many places offering different specials, how do you choose?? ... okay just put down the names with the best boozy brunch, then go from there.

8. Where to go in your town to avoid the most people possible

I'm talking the run down grocery store with the really old checkout person, the bad sushi place and a Wawa at least 3 miles away.

9. Best food delivery services

Between UberEats, GrubHub, Favor, Postmates... how do you keep track?? Who has the best rates?? Who is fastest?? I NEED TO KNOW.

10. Trying Pinterest recipes

All of these mom bloggers know what's up. I would trust them with my life. But who has the best recipe for a southwestern chicken salad??

11. Podcasts

I once said that NPR was the first podcast, and I still believe in that statement. When did millennials get into podcasts?? LMK.

12. Best 90s toy

My frontrunner is the Tamagotchi. That's all.

13. Where to vacation/travel next

If it's cheap then it doesn't matter. But a bracket would be nice to decide.

14. Books

Um, if you didn't read "Big Little Lies," what are you doing?? Enter the best books of 2017 please.

15. Next Sephora purchase

This place stresses me out already so going in with a clear idea of what to purchase helps me immensely.

16. Starbucks drinks

We can all say that the cherry mocha sounds disgusting, and an iced skinny vanilla latte will definitely win.

17. What to order for take out

If all the options are placed in front of me, I would maybe be able to make a better choice. Or like, stop ordering food so much.

18. Best Trader Joe's frozen meal

I think they're all delicious so every single one might become a winner.

19. Disney Channel Original Movies

Please do not forget "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" when creating your bracket.

20. Memes

Top 2017 memes only.

21. Vines

My friends and I only talk in Vine quotes and if you feel like taking risks on your friendships, I would compete in a bracket like this

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.
