How To Game Day Like A Badger
Amanda Glass

Early morning alarms, bagels for breakfast, face tattoos, dirty sneakers, tons of pictures, and lots and lots of school spirit. Sound familiar? If you go to a Big 10 school, then you are well aware of the madness that each game day entails; but, if you go to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then you most-definitely know that there is nothing quite like a badger game day.

Madtown Madness

Students, visitors, friends, families, you name it - the entire city of Madison floods State Street as early as the sun comes out on these anticipated Saturday mornings. People pile into bars, grab their game day breakfasts, and pick out last-minute tailgate outfits, all before as early as 10 a.m. If you aren't woken up by your alarm clock, this chaos will surely do the trick. And the best part? There is red everywhere; from infants to pets, everyone and everything is undoubtedly decked out in badger gear - a beautiful sight.

Tailgate After Tailgate

There's no place like Langdon Street on game day. Between the blasting music, crowds of people, beautiful Lake Mendota views, and endless elevated surfaces, fraternity houses are always the place to be. You're bound to meet new people wherever you go, and you're bound to have an unforgettable time while doing it. You're simply not allowed to start the trek to Camp Randall until Mr. Brightside plays and you've successfully taken your game day Instagram; that is the cue to let the journey begin.

U-rah-rah Wisconsin!

Have you ever been one of 80,321 badger fans packed into Camp Randall? If so, you surely know that it's an experience to remember. From singing the Wisconsin alma mater to jumping around after the third quarter, game days in Madison are game days done right. Win or lose, we'll be sure show you what school spirit looks like, even after the referee blows that final whistle. So... If this hasn't convinced you that Badger game days are the absolute best, I think you should come and see so yourself. On, Wisconsin!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
