8 Thoughts Every UConn Student Has During Tailgate Season

Tailgating season is here and we are so ready. Whether you're a morning person or not, get ready to head to Rentschler field for our next home game. There are only a few things better than burgers and dogs, cornhole, and your fellow UConn huskies early on a Saturday morning. So blast some music, grill up some food, and enjoy!

1. How are we getting there?

Is there a Tilt Bus? Who’s driving? How much would an Uber be?

2. Have to run to the CO-OP (Sorry, I mean UConn Bookstore) to get a whole new wardrobe for the game.

We have way too much fun filling our entire wardrobe with UConn t-shirts and jerseys. Yes, I’m still mad the $9.99 t-shirts are now $14.95… but we’ll survive.

3. Why is this bus ride taking so long?

Taking a bus from Storrs to East Hartford is definitely a trip. Now’s the time to get the extra 40 minutes of sleep in, or get the party started early.

4. It's nine o'clock in the morning. Do I have a cheeseburger or hot dog?

I have the answer. Have both.

5. Waking up feeling like you only had four hours of sleep and need Advil and water immediately.

A tailgate is the answer to your hangover. Boot and rally!

6. Where's my flannel? Can I borrow your flannel?

It’s going to be 50 degrees when you get there, but probably 80 at noon. Plan accordingly.

7. Where are you?

That friend that always disappears and you have absolutely no idea where he/she is. They tell you they’re by a certain flag, but actually is nowhere to be found.

8. When does the first bus go back?

Are you staying in the parking lot until the bus leaves at halftime, or are you actually going into the game?

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
