It's Not Easy Being A Buffalo Bills Fan

But we always have next year right?

It's Not Easy Being A Buffalo Bills Fan
Buffalo Bills sad fan

The Bills have the longest playoff drought out of any team in the NFL. Even crazier than this, they actually have the longest current drought out of any major sports team in North America, and that includes baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. After 16 seasons, the Bills haven't made it past their regular games in the 21st century.

So while this time of the year is usually filled with joy for the holidays, it is usually a much different case for Bills fans. We start the NFL season filled with hope and cries of "this year being our year," sure we will finally win the title of Super Bowl champs that our franchise has never seen. And then usually after a few weeks those hopes turn a little bit more realistic, with the belief that we will at least break the streak and make the long eluded playoffs. But finally December rolls around and the chances that we will even make the playoffs dwindles down to somewhere between 0-10%.

Our high expectations for this season are all but gone, but one thing Bills fans are is resilient. We already start looking forward to the next season before this one even finishes. Calls for coaching and QB changes are ever prevalent in the hopes that we can finally bring Buffalo the winning combination it needs. Each year brings a lot of disappointment for the Bills Mafia, but as hardened and tough Buffalonians we can handle it. We've lived through four Super Bowl losses in a row and we deal with one of the most brutal winters in the country but the Bills are one of the things we can all rally behind. So maybe 2016 wasn't actually our year, but we always have next year. Or the year after that. Or the year after that. (Just one Super Bowl win before I die please).

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.
