Life After Football

Life After Football

Now that the Super Bowl is over and the best 22 weeks of life --including playoffs -- are over, what are we all supposed to do? What else am I supposed to look forward to on Sundays? Homework? No way that is possible. The post-football season blues is a sad time for all and something we all must get through together. These are my suggestions for getting through this tough time.    

Purdue basketball. Start watching and going to the Purdue basketball games. They are always exciting and something you can do with your friends. We all have school spirit, right? Another plus is that they are usually more frequent than once a week, and there are no bye weeks.  

NHL. The National Hockey League games are great for hanging out with guy friends and drinking beer. The intensity is close to that of football. But the best part is that there is still half the season left. The playoffs are not until the end of May, beginning of June.    

NBA. The National Basketball Association doesn’t get much credit, but it is fun to watch. The All-Star Game is on Feb. 15 at Madison Square Garden. The regular season doesn’t end until April 15, so you have a long time to still watch and get into it. The playoffs start April 18.     

Now that our favorite sport season is over, it is time to throw yourself completely into another sport to forget the fact that you won’t see a Packers game for another seven months. I told you about my favorite three choices, but now it’s up to you to figure out which ones you like and want to obsess over.

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.
