6 Things You Didn't Know About Green Bay Packers Fans

foxsports.com

Growing up as an only girl with three brothers was fun because I was always surrounded by sports and couldn't have been happier. My dad grew up loving Green Bay since he could remember and passed it down to us. The Green Bay Packers are one of the greatest franchises in NFL history. When it comes to messing with the team its one thing but you can't mess with the fans. We are loyal cheeseheads and stand by this team no matter what. Here are few things you didn't already know about us:

1. We can't get season tickets

It is impossible to get them because their is nearly 90,000 of us on the waiting list. They have even said it would take a whole millennium to get them.

2. There is no better love/hate relationship in the NFL than ours with Brett Farve

We love to hate him and hate to love him. Although Farve is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, he has made major decisions that have hurt us. In the end he did lead us to two super bowls winning super bowl XXXI.

3. Our emotions always run high

Wether we have the ball or not our emotions always get the best of us. There's so many that go into one game and we only hope to come out with the victory.

4. We own our team

Yes we own our team. Packers are the only team in history to be own by its fans. So far we have over 5 million shares. Its pretty damn cool to call yourself an "NFL OWNER" I'd say since I am one.

5. We are fans of "America's Team"

Packers are in fact Americas team. They go way back in history to winning 13 league championships the most ever before super bowls even existed. The coolest part of it was winning the Ice Bowl. Its is also because of their unique non- profit ownership and that they also existed even before the cowboys did who believe they are americas team.

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.

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. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
