Fall and Sports: an Argument

Why the few cool months at the end of the year is the best time for a sports fan.

Fall and Sports: an Argument
Healing Feet

As we find ourselves well into the fall months, I have decided, officially, that fall is the best season for a sports fan. Let me explain...

First of all, there is the obvious elephant in the room in terms of fall sports, especially in the south, and that is college football. If you have ever been to a college football game in the south, or just been in the south in the fall, then you know that it is practically a religion. The entire week is tailored to weekend plans to travel, tailgate, go to the game, and tailgate. Coupled with perfect weather, the smell of BBQ, and the sound of the band on game day, college football is the king of fall, not soon to be overtaken.

Next, you have postseason baseball. The latter part of August and all of September are dedicated to postseason chases as teams make their last push to prove their worth. Once October rolls around, it's money-making season. Postseason baseball has a personality unique to all sports as fans frequent their favorite watering holes and offer their amateur opinion on game strategy. Luckily we have November baseball this year, the best kind. (Go Cubs)

If college football and postseason baseball don't quite do it for you, then there are multiple tastes to choose from. By this time, the NFL is also in full swing while the NBA is making the transition from preseason play to the regular season. NASCAR has the Sprint Cup series, and the PGA tour can be found almost year-round.

Long story, short, there is no shortage of love for any sports fan in the fall. (Unless you're, you know, a Browns fan)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
