50 Shades Of Purple: Brian Kelly's Facial Hues

www.buzzfeed.com

Brian Kelly is an amazing football coach who's led Notre Dame's Fighting Irish to victory countless times.

Brian Kelly is also a very famous football coach, with over 130,000 people following his verified Twitter account.

While Kelly is definitely famous for his coaching skills, let's not forget his other claim to fame: a face that often resembles an eggplant.

While I am not an insider, it is rumored that Coach Kelly may be responsible for the band Maroon 5's name.

I, for one, am impressed by the different shades Kelly's face is able to display. They are diverse. SO diverse.

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!

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.
