13 Thoughts of a Fantasy Football Newbie As Told By Leslie Knope
Imgur

I went to Penn State for 3.5 years, so you'd think I'd understand football right? WRONG. I was too short to actually see what was happening during games, so I just cheered when everyone else cheered, and I booed when everyone else booed.

I decided this year that I wanted to learn more about football, so I joined my friend's fantasy football league. It's just one real week into the season and as a newbie, I've had a lot of thoughts running through my head. What better way to express all of those thoughts to you all, than by letting Leslie Knope explain them?

1. When the draft starts and you have no idea what the hell is going on


2. You're having trouble keeping up, why do you only have 1.5 minutes each time it's your turn to draft??

3. You've been drafting for over two hours now, and you've lost your patience

4. After the first game of the season, you realize you should have never signed up for the league in the first place


5. You try to pump yourself up to gain some confidence

6. After your team does well, you already think you're a pro...


7. ...And then someone tells you that what you said makes no sense at all


8. You start to get competitive even though you still really don't understand what's going on


9. You start talking trash...


10. ...But immediately regret it because your team's about to lose


11. You're ready to throw in the towel and give up...


12. But after all the sweat and tears, you realize you've won your matchup this week, and it was all worth it


13. Sadly however, you realize you have 17 more weeks of this



With the first week over, and many more to come, Good luck to everyone as they embark upon a new season of Fantasy Football! And to all you die-hard fans out there, give me some advice won't ya??

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
