Beating Bama Made Being National Champions A Little Sweeter

Here I am at an ungodly hour having a hard time being calm and can't stop smiling. It took Clemson 35 years to get to this point - the point where we are National Champions again. We have dethroned Alabama and boy, it feels good. I'm too young to have seen it all but I endured a few Bowden years of talented teams inexplicably losing to teams they should not lose to, the 6-7 seasons, the 70-33 humiliation in Miami, and five consecutive years of losing to Steve Spurrier as well as the painful lost to Pitt this season. This game was all for Clemson fans but I would like to think its especially for us who bore witness to those times and the program that Dabo has managed to forge out of it. We came further and faster than I could have ever imagined. Every big game Clemson was told they didn't have the tools to win; it turned out they did. We made it, we're here, National Champions. And, no, Clemson players are not a fraud.

Want to play us again Ohio, South Carolina, Alabama?

Nothing sweeter than beating Bama and there are many reasons why.

1. Nick Saban is a miserable asshole -

While it wouldn't be fair of me to judge his personality, there's no denying the fact the man lacks enthusiasm and has a stupid smug tattooed on his face at all times. I am a fan of ones who are never satisfied but golly, even when ya win the National Championship... he's still upset.


Could you smile just a little? You and your team won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Guess that's not worth smiling over though, is it?

2. Dabo -

He loves the fans and his players. He is one who hosts pizza parties and rocks the best dance moves. He also isn't shy about his core beliefs, making him even more lovable and the win a whole lot sweeter.

3. Deshaun -

He's life. He is not only the best quarterback in the nation, he is extremely humble.


4. SEC fans are an obnoxious breed -

It's hard not to hate SEC. They're attached to the most obnoxious fans and the most talented players.They're intolerable for plethora of reasons. They have dominated the football world and it sure is nice to dethrone them.

5. We beat Bama -

We wanted Bama and we got them! Alabama is one who kept winning.They dominated the world of football making it nearly impossible for any other SEC team to have a chance. It's obnoxious UNTIL YOU BEAT EM!


i'm sure it does, buddy. Roll tears roll.

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 clichés, 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 don’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. Don’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 you’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. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’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.

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.
