Game Day Traditions Only Bama Fans Understand

Julia Smith

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
