Saturday Superstitions

The querks of an SEC fan.

Saturday Superstitions

Football Saturdays in the south are holy. Everyone has their own game-day agenda that will probably never change. Win or lose, Saturdays are specifically superstitious.


1. Lucky chocolate.

Yes, trail mix has nuts and other healthy options, but the chocolate is obviously the best part. And naturally, all M&Ms except the orange and blue are unlucky.

2. The unlucky friends.

Every time they come in the room, your team throws an interception or the quarterback gets sacked. My family has personally banned two people from our property during any Auburn sporting event.

3. The tiger tail.

You know, those cars with a tacky, 11-year-old tail flying on the back of the car on the way to the game. But it has been to every home game and you don't leave home without it.

4. Lucky undergarments.

Well, you know.

5. Location, location, location.

If your team scores and you're upstairs, you stay upstairs. If they score while you're in the bathroom, you stay in the bathroom.

While some people are more superstitious than others, they all make up an equation for a great southern game day. War eagle anyways!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
