A Superstitious Auburn Fan's Guide To The 2015 Season
http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2011/10/your-afternoon-open-thread

Let’s be honest. They are many factors that play into Auburn's less than anticipated 2015 football season. Some blame coaching, others blame injuries. I just so happen to be a very superstitious fan who cringes at the thought of change and blame Auburn's less than perfect season, on these three main contributors.

The Jumbotron.

Massive isn’t even an adjective appropriate to describe this giant TV screen. Yes, it's great for instant replay, and the graphics are amazing, but I know I'm not the only one out there that was calling for the demolishment of the video board when Auburn went into overtime with JSU.

Orange shoes.

Let's take it back to the season opener in Atlanta: Auburn vs. Louisville. Auburn won, but this game had us all a little on edge. The blame for this unnecessary stress? The orange shoes. Yes, they are cool, and something new. But let's get real, we like tradition here at Auburn, and when you stray from that it makes us all a little nervous.

The hands.

Go, Go! How often have you seen these hand motions this season? This classic sideline move keeps us in the student section on our feet and pulling at the strands of our shakers.

In 2013, every time Auburn was down, and the pressure was at its highest, the students would begin to chant, “It’s great to be an Auburn Tiger.” When all hope seemed lost, we rallied behind our players and let them know we still believed.

I encourage each and every student to still believe in this Auburn team and rally behind them. No matter the season, no matter the outcome – I believe in Auburn and love it.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
