It's that time of year again! The fall is most commonly known for changing color leaves, cooler nights, cozy blankets, and campfires. However, here at the U of AZ, these fall commodities are almost nonexistent, summer never ends. So what does fall mean to us and arguably every other college student? Football season is here, AKA tailgating SZN.

Movies like to portray an idealistic image of tailgating, one that still centers around family values and barbecuing with the entire crew outside of your trailer RV. Although these traditions are still alive and well within American culture, for those of us who do not have the luxury of having family around hang out tailgating is essentially is a fancier word for dragging out what usually would be a couple hours at the bar or a house party into an all-day event.
