8 Thoughts We Have On Non-Gameday Weekends

University of Wisconsin

Gamedays are the essence of first semester weekends in college. Without a doubt they are always the best part of the weekend, win or loose. On the sad, sad days when we don't have a home game, we are left with hole in our social calendar, and nothing can quite replace it. I don't think I'll ever quite master the right way to feel on these empty filled weekends. But, there are some typical thoughts we all have when a non-gameday weekend is approaching that contribute to our feels for the week.

1. Am I supposed to do work now instead?

Nope. Don't think so.

2. What else is even going to happen on Saturday?

Luckily in Madison when there isn't a gameday we get the chance to go up to the capital and walk around the farmers market. But it usually wraps up because of the cold weather before football season is complete, and we are once again left with nothing unique to fill our Saturday. No frat party or social could possibly be better than having a tailgate instead.

3. Should I go to the bar and watch the game even though its not the same?

IT'S REALLY JUST NOT THE SAME THOUGH.

4. I'm so jealous that other school has gameday right now.

How did they get so lucky? Can we trade places please? We definitely go harder here. Plus, they aren't even GOOD at sports.

5. Friday night: I'm so excited tomorrow is... oh wait, shit.

That slight lapse in memory when you forget that tomorrow is, in fact, NOT gameday, and yes, you still aren't sure how to fill that time.

6. We should definitely have more home games.

Why don't we have more games? Let's start a movement.

7. Saturday: 11:00 a.m., Shouldn't I be tailgating right now? This is wrong.

What a boring day.

8. Can't wait until next week when we actually have a game!

Can next week come faster? Please and thank you!

All in favor for a never ending tailgate season.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

746

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
