7 reasons why I love football Saturdays

When people ask me what my favorite season is, I don't respond with the typical winter, spring, summer or fall; instead, I reply with a more specific answer– football season. Being that I'm a girl, you were probably expecting a response more along the lines of: my favorite season is fall because it's sweater weather, I can go on cute cider mill dates (if I were ever asked on one... *cries*), the weather is perfect, and oh, don't forget my absolute favorite pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks #basic. (You read that in a high-pitched, nasally girl voice, didn't you?) Additionally, you were also probably thinking that my response had something to do with the targeted audience, boys. Sure, there might be some truth to that, but ultimately I just really love football!


Here are 7 reasons why I love football Saturdays:


1. The Rivalries

The rivalry between the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes is the greatest in college football history– The Game is undoubtedly one of the most exciting games of the year.


2. Tradition

In my opinion, nothing beats Florida State's tradition of Chief Osceola riding Renegade onto the field to plant a lit spear at the 50 yard line. Each school has their own traditions, which is what makes watching every game so entertaining.


3. ESPN College Game Day: Lee Corso Picks

ESPN College Game Day wouldn't be the same without Lee Corso wearing the headgear/mascot of the team he believes will win.


4. Tailgates

Regardless of the team, every school (some more than others) knows how to throw a good tailgate. Tailgates are great when there's good food, good company, and of course, football!


5. Unpredictability


Anything can happen while watching football. And like I always say, the game isn't over until the clock strikes zero. Miami pulled off an 8-Lateral touching and ended up beating Duke on this play. No game is the same which is what makes football so fun to watch!


6. The Crazy Coaches

I mean, how can you not find this both hilarious and entertaining?


7. The Stadium Atmosphere

There's nothing better than being at a game. Whether you're in the student section or in general seating, being present at a football game is an incredible experience. The emotions, the fun and the passion for both your school and its team is something you can't experience anywhere else.


I'm ready for football Saturdays, are you?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
