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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
