It's that infamous time of year again; March Madness. Whether you are a die-hard basketball fan or like watching a game here and there, March Madness is the time where everyone is into basketball. It even brings out the competitive side of everyone. Everyone makes a bracket, sometimes more than one, and we all know those feelings that come with the tournament.

1. Excitement


At the start of the tournament everyone is excited and ready to see how their brackets stand up against others. Even throughout the tournament there are bursts of excitement when your team wins or when they take the lead.

2. Uneasiness

During key games everyone is on their toes waiting to see who can get the win. It is games like these that can either put you in the lead or bust your bracket.

3. Despair

When your team is solidly losing during a game you start to lose all hope. There is no hope and you may refuse to accept the fact they are losing.

4. Heartache

When your team loses and it hits you. Your bracket is done for, so you use it to wipe away the tears. Sorry fans that picked Villanova or Duke this year.

5. Anger


After the heartache, you become angry that they lost and most likely you lost the money you bet. Now is when you probably burn your bracket.

6. Regret

You totally regret all decisions you made this year. Maybe next year you will finally have a better bracket?

7. Contentment

When March Madness ends you may still be a little upset, but you come to terms with the overall outcome. You know March Madness will be back again in year and you know you will

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
