I Never Stopped Believing in Our Bulldog Team

And you shouldn't either.

I Never Stopped Believing in Our Bulldog Team

Tally Duke

I have been a fan of Mississippi State for my entire life. I am the fourth generation at this school, and my grandpa even played for MSU, so I know what it is like to be a state fan.

It is a roller coaster ride, but I wouldn't want it any other way

It always breaks my heart to see students, and fans give up on the team or blame a loss on one person. Football is a team sport, so a loss is a TEAM effort.

Mississippi State football will keep you on your toes. It always has and it always will, and it is not for the weak at heart, or bandwagon fans.

It breaks my heart when I see people hating on our team

Students tweeting mean things towards our quarterback, petty Instagram captions, and flat out rude articles being written and published. The players see that stuff y'all, and I'm sure it saddens them even more.

The boys are fighters, and when needed they will step up to the plate, and even surprise you, so just because our team had one bad day does not mean you should rule them out for the rest of the season.

I will never stop believing in my school's football team

I know what it is like to be a Mississippi State fan, so I know that they will surprise everyone when we least expect it. To our awesome, talented football team: do not listen to everyone else. Just keep getting better, faster, stronger, and prove EVERYONE wrong.

Also students: I want to see you get out on that field in front of THOUSANDS, and see if you can perform as well as our boys can. Put yourself in someone else's shoes before you decide to throw out unnecessary hate.

I will be at every home game ringing my cowbell as loud as I can, and so should you fellow students. Maybe not because you are the biggest fan, but because you go to this school so at least show some respect and school spirit

This might be a little bit of a rant, but I feel like it's necessary to defend our football team from all the hate they have been receiving recently. Hail State my dudes, keep up the champion standard on and off the field and you will rise above this.

Thanks for coming to MY TED talk.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
