Dear Football Season,

Hooray! You're almost here! Soon my Saturday's will be filled with tailgating, cute pics at the stadium, and watching my favorite guys kick some serious butt. I've always loved college football. I knew when I was getting ready to go to college, I wanted to go to a school in the SEC. Let's face it, the SEC is by far the best conference.

As soon as the first game began my freshman year, I was hooked. I loved the thought of dressing in my game day gear, getting ready with all my sisters, and pregaming at various tailgates. I loved the thrill of the game, the roar of the crowd, the joy of screaming our fight song when we score and calling the hogs 7,000 times every game.

The first hog call before kick-off gives me the most excitement and chills. I love hearing the sound of several thousand students and loyal hog fans calling the hogs together. It never gets old, even after two years as a collegiate fan.

I love nothing more than being a fan of Arkansas football. Hearing so many people chant and cheer every week as we continue to grow and become better and better is such a wonderful experience. Even when we lose, we are happy to be Hog fans. We love our boys, no matter if we win or lose.

Football season, you are some of the best weekends of my entire life. I have so many great memories from football game's past. Rushing the field after beating LSU, feeling utter defeat after losing to A&M at Cowboy's Stadium, even letting my parents experience the student section during Parent's Weekend. It is a very exciting time, and something to always look forward to. I get sad when you end and excited when it gets closer and closer to your arrival once again.

So, thank you. Thank you for the best Saturday's a girl could ask for, the most fun memories, and the excitement you bring to my life. I can't wait for you to come back into my life in just a few short weeks.

Go Hogs.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
