Five Things You Feel Before The Football Season

Football season is starting! Get ready to get pumped and cheering for your favorite teams! Whether you're thinking about college football, the pros, or both, there are a lot of emotions that you feel while you're thinking about the upcoming season. This goes for almost any sport, but I've decided to focus on football since I'm just about to leave to watch my own school play football.

1) Excitement. The season's coming and of course you're excited! You get to put on face paint, dress up in ridiculous outfits that nobody judges you on because you're showing your spirit, and you get to make memories once again as you watch your team kick some major butt.

2) Fear. There's always a fifty/fifty chance your team could win or lose, and that thought scares you as you look at who they're playing when. What team scare you the most? Well, I guess that depends who you're routing for in the first place.

3) Nostalgia. Remember that very first football game you went to with your family or your friends? Remember how you lost your voice for a whole week after cheering so loud after watching your favorite team win a huge game? The new season will remind you of some good old times and will make you hope you're about to have another noteworthy story to share for next year.

4) Anger. Remember that one pass where that one player totally should've caught the ball but there was a blade of grass in their way and it tripped them instead so they lost the game? You better believe you'll be extra angry if something like that happens again!

5) Hope. Last year you guys came so close to winning against your rivals! This year you're sure you'll beat them this time.

When it comes to college especially, I think it's great to have this intense cheering moments together. We all come from such different places, such different backgrounds, but for a while none of that matters. We all want our team to win, and if someone else is as excited as we are then they're our friend too. I don't go to many sports events, but whenever I do go, even if I go alone there's always someone who acts like I'm one of their best friends in a moment of excitement. Sports help bring us all close together, and it's always so much fun getting together and cheering for our team. Now I know I'm biased when I say this, but Go Rams! Let's go kick some Buffalo butt!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
