Self Made

Tailgating season is more than just an overrated pregame, its a seasonal affair that brings thousands of people together. The start of the Fall semester is always filled with stress and anxiety, but the tailgating season makes it a little bit more bearable. You get to party in the sun with your friends and have an awesome time. Here are 6 reasons that make tailgating season the best.


1. Showing your school spirit is the best

This is the time to bring out the school colors and face glitter. Dressing up to support your team isn't just mandatory, its pretty much a right of passage. School spirit is part of the experience and makes tailgating so much more exciting.

2. Connecting with other people

Pretty much everyone on campus participates in tailgating. Meeting new people and expanding your social circle is all part of the fun.

3. Free food

Often times there is a plethora of free food available at tailgates. Burgers, hot dogs, brats, and junky snacks are common place. The best part is the fact that its all free. BBQ lovers, rejoice!

4. Experiencing a fun atmosphere

When the music is blearing and the masses are dancing and experiencing life together, the atmosphere can feel almost magical!

5. Parties don't start late at night

One of the best things about going tailgating is that you don't need to stay out until until 3 in the morning to have a good time. Most tailgates start in the afternoon, which is a great excuse to get food after!

6. Getting to wear cute outfits is always a plus

Half the fun of tailgating is getting to pick out your outfit in anticipation. The tailgating outfit trends are real serious, and its fun getting to see what everyone is wearing too!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
