Football Season Always Brings People Together
Alexandra Martin

Football season is one of the best times of the year. It is an excuse to be outside all day and cheer along with thousands of people you don't even know. I absolutely love being surrounded by people who share the same love for a team like me. I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

Block is one of the happiest times throughout the fall semester. You run into people you haven't seen in a long time and take a bunch of pictures. Girls will spark up a conversation in the bathroom just to tell you about the food that is at the party. Now that is an important part of the experience.

Everyone is in a good mood on game day. Well, at least at the beginning of the day. If your team ends up losing, people will still want to go out, so no worries there. At Ohio State, we sing Carmen Ohio at the end of each game no matter who won or not.

I find that my friendships are always getting better and better during football season. I love to get ready with my friends and head out for the long day ahead of us. If you're like me, you can't get ready without some music. Putting on music with friends is one way to get everyone pumped up.

Another great thing about football season is that it is an excuse to not do homework all day. Nobody likes doing homework on the weekends, especially on Saturdays. When you have something going on the whole day, this makes it a lot easier to not worry about anything but your team.

I'm extremely lucky to have my sisters in my life. I can always count on them to help me have a great weekend during football season. They are constantly introducing me to all of their friends and showing me love.

Football season is always a great way to get to know other members of the organizations you are in. Some of my organizations have already started to plan away game get-togethers. It really makes you feel at home when you can gather with the people you care about and support your favorite team.

So, make sure that you find people who make Saturday's the best they possibly can be. If you're in college, there are only going to be so many football games that you are an undergrad for. Make use of this time and spend it with the people you love, and maybe you'll even meet more amazing people too.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
