Bama Vs. Texas A&M Recap

I really should not have to say much about the Alabama vs. Texas A&M game. What a beat down. I would be so incredibly embarrassed to be an Aggie fan, student, or alumni. 59-0? Texas A&M couldĀ not even score one point. Even the FCS teams that we have played have gotten at least a field goal. This game just made me ROFL for the whole duration, especially, since I have two cousins who attend, or have attended, Texas A&M. By the second quarter, I split my time watching the game and texting both of them, running my mouth. ThisĀ game was probably one of the best times Iā€™ve had inside the hallowed walls of Bryant-Denny Stadium.

On a real note, we needed a win like this. After our heartbreaking loss to Ole Miss, and a poor performance against Arkansas -- the worst team and state in the SEC West -- we needed to get our swagger back. For most of the season, and the last two games of last year, we have not seen the classic Alabama Crimson Tide domination that I have enjoyed since my freshman year, when the Tide rolled over LSU for the national championship in their own back yard of the New Orleans Superdome.

You could make the argument that our Florida game was a resurgence of classic Nick Saban era, Bama Tide football, but we played really sloppy with all of our turnovers. Florida should not have had those 21 points. Their offense is really poor. They only put up 10 points on a young, talentless Tennessee defense.

I could not be more proud of our players. Yeldon had a break out game, which is something we havenā€™t seen in a while. Both he and Derrick Henry ice skated through the Aggie defense, and sliced and diced them up for big gains and touchdowns. Sims played great. He had so many great throws, and some really great runs. Cooper was Cooper, and embarrassed anyone who attempted to cover him. I appreciate the Aggieā€™s defensive backs for their meager attempts. It was cute.

Besides the exceptional play from our players, the thing I was the most happy about was the attitude that the team had. It was nice to see them get their swagger back. After big hits and great plays, it was awesome to see the bench meet the guys on the field for air hips, chest bumps, and other cool celebrations. Also, kudos to the Bryant-Denny DJ for playing more rap music. It was really swag. Ā 

Overall, it was a great game and atmosphere. If you didnā€™t go to the game, then I feel really bad for you. My sophomore year, I remember complaining to my parents that Alabama football wasnā€™t exciting to watch because we just demolished our opponents week in and week out,Ā with theĀ exceptions of Texas A&M beating us at home, and a last second touchdown screen pass thrown to Yeldon to squeak by LSU in Death Valley. This year, with all of our close games, I sincerely regret making that statement. Thank you Kirby Smart, Lane Kiffin, and St. Nick Saban for bringing our identity back. I will never doubt you, or the Bama Tide, ever again.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichƩs, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And donā€™t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Donā€™t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and youā€™re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
