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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
