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

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).

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.
