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).

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
