How To Cope With Not Having College GameDays

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
