March Madness Explained by Workaholics

March Madness is a magical time of the year. Brackets are made, bets are agreed upon, and the trash talk and competition gets fierce. It's the time of the year when a number 13-seeded team can upset a number four-seeded team and the only thing, arguably, as important as your team winning is the team you hate more than anything losing.

Skill is tested, character is displayed, and emotions run high during this roller coaster of a tournament. It's a month where anything is possible, and you hope more than anything that your team can pull through. Here are some of the many highs and lows of March Madness brought to you by the men of Workaholics.


When March Madness finally rolls around and you know all you're going to be doing for the next month is sitting on the couch watching the games.

Your underdog team gets the win.

The person who picked their bracket based on the school's colors is doing better than you.

You talk smack within your bracket group but then get the least number of points overall.

People say your college's team isn't going to make it very far.

A team you had going to the Elite Eight loses during the Round of 32.

The team you hate loses early on in the tournament.

People tell you you've been watching way too much basketball.

It's finally time for the national championship.

If your pick loses the National Championship:

If your pick wins the National Championship:

Happy March Madness, and cue the count down for April 6!

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.
