Upset alert! The Sun Devils beat #18 Michigan State Spartans

The kick is wide left! Michigan State's kicker misses the possible game-tying field goal as ASU holds onto a 10-7 lead. Michigan State's kicker Matt Coghlin had made the first field goal attempt, however, there was a flag where MSU had 12 guys out on the field which created a five-yard penalty. The second attempt not even close as you could see the sun devil This game felt like deja vu as the matchup last season led to a three-point victory over the spartans!

This game completely shocked me as ASU has not had a real test this season when it comes to the opponents they have faced. The devil's defense held a Big Ten offense to under 500 total yards and they even had a recovered fumble during the first half. No one could've predicted that the young defense of ASU could come into East Lansing, Michigan and hold the ranked opponent to one touchdown.

The Sun Devils make a statement and show their presence in the PAC-12 as they now stand with a 3-0 record. People expected this team to not perform this well. However, Arizona State has scored more than seven points in 137 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the FBS, according to a recap from ESPN.

ASU freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels started the game out slow. It wasn't until his team absolutely needed it until he gave the sun devils the drive they needed. Late in the 4th quarter, Daniels led the offense 77 yards down the field on 11 plays. I saw the clutch moment that makes Jayden Daniels live up to the hype as he completed a successful run of 15 yards for a first down on fourth-and-13 in MSU territory. ASU looks to stay undefeated as they go up against CU Boulder at home.

Expect the Sun Devil fan base to pack the stands at Sun Devil Stadium as they look to kick-off conference play undefeated. Especially with the fact that ASU is no longer a forgotten football program as they now crack into the AP top 25 rankings. The Sun Devils enter week 4 being the number 24 ranked team in the nation!

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!
