4 Things to Look for at Tonight's National Championship Game
https://sportspicks247.com/2016-17-college-football-ncaaf-national-championship-odds/

Tonight's college football National Championship in Tampa features a rematch of last year's championship with the Crimson Tide of Alabama against the Clemson Tigers. While the game will feature the same teams as last year, there are certainly many interesting things to look out for while watching the game. Here are four of these things:

1. Nick Saban's Robotic Core

While coach Nick Saban of the Crimson Tide on the outside may seem like your run-of-the-mill grumpy football coach, he is, in fact, a robot. For those of you watching at home, you may be able to catch a glimpse of this on TV as Saban's robotic body begins to malfunction after Alabama players give him a Gatorade bath in the case of an Alabama victory.

2. Kirk Herbstreit's Longing to Star in "The Great Gatsby"

While many have seen the 2013 film "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio based on the 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, only a few know about commentator Kirk Herbstreit's burning desire to play Jay Gatsby in the movie. Although his audition for the film was mediocre, colleagues of Herbstreit have said that he is still sour about Leo taking his role. Tonight, be on the lookout for Herbstreit's uncanny familiarity with 1920s culture and his tendency to call his fellow commentators "old sport."

3. That One Commercial That Was Funny at the Beginning of the Game, But is Now Really Annoying After Watching it for the 50th Time

It's probably a Progressive commercial or one of those weird car commercials with Matthew McConaughey.

4. Depletion of Earth's Gold

With the National Championship Trophy weighing 35 pounds made out of 24-karat gold, NCAA officials have gone to the ends of the Earth to exploit developing nations of their gold. Experts are predicting that the Earth will be drained of its gold by the end of halftime.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during 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. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
