Six Things We Can Learn from Thad Castle

Played by actor Alan Ritchson, Thad Castle is known as the hunky yet dense captain of the Blue Mountain State Football team. With BMS airing for three season on Spike, and now the re-runs being streamed on Netflix, the spirit of Thad Castle has been with us since 2010. Now, we can relive the wonders of the Goat House with "Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland," the BMS movie coming out on February 2nd (a date which we've been looking forward to since the series went off air.

In anticipation of the movie coming out, some major self-reflection has helped me realize something very important: we all need to be just a little bit like Thad himself. Here's why:

1. He's always willing to have a good time

There hasn't been a moment where Thad Castle hasn't been ready to get a little wild. He is always up for a new adventure, and there's hasn't been a day where he's been ready for the Goat House to turn up.

2. He's the life of the party

Whether it's celebrating Top Three in the draft or participating in the Drug Olympics, Thad never fails to remain the center of attention every time the Goat House throws down. He is, after all, the captain of the team. He's gotta set an example.

3. He's willing to make sacrifices for the sake of his success

If you know Thad Castle, you know that Oksana may be the single most important object in his life. If he can burn his prized possession in order to get drafted, you can do anything.

4. He isn't afraid to let his emotions show

Thad is an emotional man, and proud of it. It makes us human. He has a way of showing his emotions in a way that we should all be doing. Let it out Thad, let it out.

5. He is willing to take control

When the going gets tough, Thad gets going. If he's in a sticky situation, Thad isn't afraid to do what needs to be done in order to restore order to the world (and the Goat House).

6. He works hard and stays dedicated—to looking good

Need I say more?

We love you, Thad.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
