5 Thoughts That Every First-Year Has At Their First Basketball Game

For every first-year at the University of Virginia, the first home basketball game is a magical experience. Football is fun and all, but basketball is a whole different arena (literally). Walking to John Paul Jones Arena, I was more excited than I could explain. First of all, I ran there, and I don't run, so you could say I was pretty excited. As I was heading to the game, seeing the massive JPJ get closer and closer was a feeling of pure joy and excitement I can honestly say I haven't felt since I've gotten to school.

1. "What entrance do I go to?"

Giphy

I probably looked like a very confused first-year, and I was. The student entrance was actually the easiest to find, but I was too excited to think clearly.

2. "Where am I supposed to sit?"

Giphy

I didn't want to miss tip-off, so I frantically ran around until I could find a seat. I ended up in between a bunch of old people, so I'm not sure I was in the right place.

3. "Oh my god, it's starting."

Giphy

I might have stopped breathing.

4. "What time does Panera close?"

Giphy

Okay, yes I am a true fan, but in the midst of being so excited for the game I forgot to eat before.

5. "Thank god we won. I might've died if we didn't."

Giphy

Basketball season is going to be truly awesome, and maybe even the highlight of my first year at UVA.

Wahoowa!

And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
