How To Cope With Not Having College GameDays
Twitter

Not everyone can have the amazing experience that is a College GameDay in the South. I know it's not something everyone can appreciate, but once it becomes a part of you, your Saturday will never be the same. Tailgates, Greek pins, dresses of your school's colors, and student section tickets are things that can't be replaced. No matter how else you spend your Saturdays, it will never quite be the same. If you are lucky enough to have football at your school, GO TO THE GAMES. Go for those of us that our only fall sport is soccer. We envy you.

1. Download SportsCenter to follow all your favorite teams.

2. Watch College Game Day to feel like you made one of those sort-of-not-really controversial signs yourself.

3. Make a GameDay sign anyway.

4. Follow your team's Twitter account for easy updates right in your timeline.

5. Start drinking at whatever time your tailgate would have been in spirit.

6. At kickoff, you must be in front of a TV.

7. Be committed to staying the entire game.

8. Try to be happy that you can watch multiple games at once.

9. Eat your typical game day foods all day because you're not leaving your couch.

10. Go out and drink after because your team just won or lost, it really doesn't matter.


No matter how your team's season is going, you grow up having to support them and routing for anyone who plays your rival.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
