5 Reasons You Should Be At Every LSU Basketball Game This Season

We all know it to be true, LSU is primarily a football and baseball school. Alex Box and Tiger Stadium are filled with energy on game days, we look forward to football season all summer long and our spring is filled with good weather and talk of how the baseball team is doing this year. These are things that make going to LSU so exciting, but I think we are so focused on football and baseball, we sometimes tend to forget about our basketball team. It is not just LSU, its the SEC in general. In the South, life rotates around football, which is so much fun, but basketball is pretty cool too. Here are the main reasons to never miss a game this season


1. BEN SIMMONS.

He's going to end up being the guy to beat this season. He's the guy everyone is talking about right now and you certainly don't want to miss out. At 6'10, he handles the ball and has a descent outside shot. He's the Fournette of basketball.


2. Brandon Sampson.

He's not necessarily the big name this season, but he's certainly going to be a player to keep your eyes on. He had a phenomenal opener at the exhibition game and proved to everyone that even as a true freshmen he will dominate in the season opener against McNeese State.


3. It's indoors.

You won't freeze, and you won't die of heat like in football and baseball. So even if you don't want to go, you don't even have a real excuse this time.


4. It will give you something to do after finals.

After the first week of December, things around Baton Rouge will get slow; don't stay bored in your room, get yourself some priority points so you can go to away games next season. What better way to recover from the finals blues than to watch a little basketball.


5. We have the potential to beat Kentucky.

While we may not be a "basketball school" yet, we have the potential to beat THE "basketball school." That would certainly be something you do not want to miss. They came so close last season, but this team has the potential to make a big run and go deep in the tournament.


With big name signees like Wayde Sims and Skylar Mays, the LSU basketball program is something to watch. It'll be so important to have a consistent fan base. It really is so true that the players use the noise and the energy from the fans. Don't miss out on a great season of basketball. If you're feeling bored between seasons, head to the PMAC and cheer on your Tigers!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
