Football Season, I Miss You

My life is not complete without you.

Football Season, I Miss You
the author

Let's get something straight, I miss football. The minute the Super Bowl ends, I'm ready for the next season. The real losers of the College Football Playoff? The fans who have nothing to watch until September.

But, there is something special about a 60 degree day in February, that makes you really miss it.

There is nothing I would rather do than sit in a parking lot somewhere listening to country music played as loud as it can go, surrounded by my favorite people, all dressed up in my favorite colors. There is something about standing there, singing along, with a certain drink in your hand (if you are of age, obviously) getting ready to go scream your heart out at your football team.

And, just to clarify, the tailgating is not the only thing that I miss about football season. I miss waking up with my day planned out, knowing that there is going to be something exciting that day. The sound of a marching band on the field or the announcers with their play by play. 60,000 people, all with one thing and one goal in common.

There is something magical about the game of football. Nothing feels more like fall that standing in a stadium with a slight crisp to the air. Cool enough for a sweatshirt, but not too cold you have to figure out how to wear 20 layers and still look like a normal sized human.

Ah, football season, please come back to us. We promise to shout louder, stand longer, and sing to our songs to the very best of our ability, if you just come back.

But, do us a favor, and bring this weather with you, because I cannot go back to standard February weather.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
