Fall is here and so is game day, the day strictly designated for praising Nick Saban and the love of football. Other than the multiple touchdowns made every game, this SEC school has multiple traditions, big and small, that makes gameday so special. Here are the occurrences that make game day a true Dixieland delight.

Tailgating in T Town

Here in Tuscaloosa, the party starts way before kickoff. Alabama's Campus prepares for the legendary tailgate every home game days before. Beside individual tailgates at the president's mansion and Greek life homes, the quad is decorated with hundreds of red and white tents filled with prideful fans and good barbecue with an aroma that coats the air for miles.

UA's marching band has filled the Alabama air since 1912. Not only is the largest student organization on campus, but the biggest crowd pleaser on game day. You might find these members playing school favorites or leading the stadium in "Yea Alabama" every time the team makes an infamous touchdown.

Gameday Accessories

Other than OTBS being the next Jimmy Choos, Gameday accessories are a must! On the row or in the stands, you will see Gameday pins, decorative fans, and the see-through couture bags. Besides the finest polo dress shirts and chic boutique dresses, Gameday is quite the celebratory event that everyone enjoys and is proud to be a part of.

Joy Ride At Your Service

If you're not interested in filling your Apple Watch active rings, Joy Ride is your only source of transportation on campus during gameday. It might not be a five-star convertible, but it will get you from the farthest tailgate to a front row seat in Bryant Denny and not be a minute late!

Prideful Alumni

Other than the 40,000 students on campus, the stands and on campus are filled with the individuals who have been touch by the UA charm. Pride in the Alabama air is contagious and truly makes up this campus's strong support system.

Last but not Least..... The Crimson Tide!

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
