Being a Tennessee Fan in the BBN

I said, 'Its great to be a Tennessee Vol!!"

Being a Tennessee Fan in the BBN

"I said it's great to be a Tennessee VOL," is not something you expect to hear from a girl from Kentucky. I am one of the few exceptions. Being a Vol fan in the BBN is a real struggle. You get some pretty dirty looks and some nasty comments. It hasn't stopped me though and I still cheer on the Big Orange. There are many reasons being a Vol fan is the best. Here are a few.

1. Have you been to Neyland Football Stadium?!

Even if you are not a Tennessee fan, you should go watch your favorite team play Tennessee in Neyland. Its a huge stadium that holds over 100,000 people. If you are a Tennessee fan then it is fun sining "Rocky Top" at the top of your lungs with your closest 100,000 friends.

2. "Rocky Top"

If you live in the state of Kentucky and you have "Rocky Top" as your ringtone you will get dirty looks. Its the best song there is! There is nothing better than listening to the UT band playing this a million times during a game.

3. Peyton Manning

If you're a Tennessee fan, then you're a fan of Peyton Manning. Even if he wasn't drafted to your most favorite team in the NFL, you still rooted for him. You probably also was hoping he would come back to coach at Tennessee since his retirement. (I'm still holding out for that.)

4. You hate UK and its fans.

I literally just cannot deal with UK fans. They are the worst! All the care about is basketball. Many of them don't even support the football team and complain about how bad the football team is. They are also obnoxious and rude to you if you go watch Tennessee play at Kentucky.

5. Butch Jones

Coach Jones has recreated the Tennessee football program. Football game attendance and wins have gone up tremendously since Butch became coach.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
