8 Reasons You Should Go To Every Home Football Game

If there are any Baylor football-haters out there (which I hope there aren’t), here are a few reasons to go to the games other than to watch football.   

1. It’s free. As broke college students, we are all about free things: free food, free t-shirts, free activities. In a few years, you will have to pay a lot of money to even go to one game.  Assuming you can get a ticket with the new online system, it costs you zero dollars to go to the games. 

2. Everyone else is already there. Really, what better things do you have to do on Saturdays? All your friends and everyone else you know will likely be at the game, so you might as well go, too.

3. Tailgating in the student section. It’s much more fun than tailgating in the alumnae area.

4. To support the team. Having a full stadium of people cheering and turning up the energy pumps up the team, and pumps up you.

5. It’s part of the college experience. Going to games is EXCITING and FUN. Sitting in the student section is something you can only do for four years, and running the Baylor line is (hypothetically) something you can only do for one year. The atmosphere of college football games is exhilarating and electrifying. Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of that?! 

6. You can tell your future children. Someday in the future you can brag to your children and grandchildren that you were there when Baylor beat #1 Kansas State, won the Big XII Championship, and beat TCU in the last few seconds of the game. 

7. For the snacks. Even if you don’t feel like watching the game, you can just hang out and eat snacks. Even though everything is ridiculously overpriced, the lemonade, popcorn, nachos and other items are pretty good. 

8. To take cute pictures. If none of these other reasons can convince you to go to the games, do it for the insta.

Even if you don’t like watching football, you should definitely still take advantage of the opportunity to go to every game while you still can.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
