51 Things You've Done If You're A Female NFL Fan
usatcollege.files.wordpress.com

In honor of Superbowl LI and all the girls out there who love football, here are fifty-one things (in no particular order) that you've probably done if you're a female NFL fan.

1. Backed out of "girl's night" because, more importantly, it was football night.
2. Worn jewelry with your team's logo.
3. Tried to find women's NFL gear.
4. Ended up having to choose between baggy men's clothes or the one "women's cut" shirt that is sized for a pixie stick.
5. Played fantasy football.
6. Been the only girl on a fantasy football team.
7. Beat a guy at fantasy football.
8. Really badly.
9. You just obliterated him.
10. It was awesome.
11. Called a penalty before the ref announced it.
12. Had a guy tell you you're wrong.
13. You were right.
14. You let him know.
15. Watched a game between two teams you don't care about.
16. And decided who to go for based on the attractiveness of the quarterback.
17. Seriously, it makes as much sense as going by geographical location.
18. But you also back your hometown team.
19. And you would physically fight anyone who talks bad about them.
20. Painted your nails with your team's colors.
21. And done your makeup to match.
22. In fact, you've coordinated your entire outfit.
23. And you looked fabulous.
24. Whipped up some legendary game time snacks.
25. Lived somewhere where your team's games are not regularly broadcasted.
26. So you scoured the internet trying to find a way to watch the game.
27. And came up with nothing.
28. Nothing that doesn't involve paying a princely sum to either the NFL, Verizon, or DIRECT TV.
29. So you did one of two things.
30. You bit the bullet and paid for the coverage.
31. Or you resigned yourself to watching the live score tracker and picking up random I <3 Radio broadcasts from local sports stations.
32. If you were in Europe, you just gave up and cried.
33. You've had a guy challenge your credibility as a "real fan."
34. And you just gave him a murderous glare.
35. Because there is, in fact, no entrance exam for being a football fan.
36. You've semi-stalked your favorite player.
37. You follow him on every social media account and watch every interview.
38. Even if he says the exact same thing every time.
39. You know his stats and records backward and forwards.
40. And woe to ye who decides to trash talk him.
41. Smart people know to not to bring it up around you.
42. Because you'll defend him to your last breath.
43. You've probably hosted a Superbowl party.
44.
Only to find that your girlfriends only want to chat and watch the halftime show.
45. So you ended up semi-ignoring them because you were there for the GAME.
46. It was awkward.
47. You may not have invited them the next year.
48. But you have a few girlfriends who love the game as much as you do.
49. And they've always got your back.
50. You can hardly stand the wait until next season starts.
51. Because football is life and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Bonus Round: There's a tiny chance that you may have written poetry about your favorite NFL player in the style of an Ancient Greek epic but I'm pretty sure that's just me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
