Matthew's Mailbag: Tennessee Football, Bigfoot, & Russian Missiles

Wow, thanks for some great questions (mostly idiotic ones that people thought I wouldn't answer)! I chose to not include a few because of the graphic language; I'm not quite up to Clay Travis' level yet (http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/outkick-...). Here we go, first in Matthew's Mailbag:

"My girlfriend wants to have a baby and I don't want to. What should I do?"

I would reconsider why you are in the relationship you are in. Ask yourself, "what are the pros and cons of having a baby?" I wouldn't try to talk her out of it because they sound like a good start to a fight. But hey, if you plan on breaking up with her anyways over this then maybe that's a good choice.

"How many Krispy Kreme donuts can you eat?"

In one sitting? If I was really hungry, I could eat a dozen original glazed. I would definitely feel sick after if I did that, though. I think the most I've ever eaten at once is 6.

"I heard you were into Tennessee Football. What will their record be this year and will Jalen Hurd win the Heisman?"

As much as I'd like to say they'll be 15-0 National Champions, I'm more inclined to say they'll be in the 11-2 or 10-3 range. Not sure if we can get over the Alabama hump twice in one year to make the playoff. No, Jalen Hurd needs to be a guy getting 1st downs and easy TDs for us, not busting out big plays and creating a highlight reel, IMO.

"What should I name my next pet?"

Dog: Pluto

Cat: Karl

Other animals: Don't name it, just call it whatever it's common name is.

"A few weeks ago I thought I saw Bigfoot, but I'm kind of afraid to tell anyone. I told my wife and she doesn't believe me. She says I should lay off the hard drugs. Did I really see Bigfoot or should I quit doing drugs?"

I guess it really depends on where you saw Bigfoot. Were you in the forest somewhere or were you picking up munchies at the grocery store? It would be safe to say laying off the drugs could decrease your chances of seeing Bigfoot again.

"If Russia blows up the Moon, will everyone on Earth die?"

I'm not sure that everyone on Earth would die, however, coastal residents would be reconsidering their beach front homes. I wouldn't worry about Russia blowing up the Moon, I'd be more worried about this: http://beforeitsnews.com/beyond-science/2015/02/ru...

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
