10 Things Female Sports Fanatics Know All Too Well
Joey Meredith

Being the sports fanatic in the friend group is not always easy, but it is by far the best!!

1. Guys ALWAYS doubt your knowledge of sports until they know you.

"Oh, really? You're an Alabama fan? Who even was the coach before Saban?"

2. "Do you only keep up to impress the guys?"

"Excuse me, what? You can't actually be serious right now!" These type of accusations will test your patience for sure.

3. You get a strange look the first time you get an ESPN score alert

*da-da-da---da-da-da* "Whose phone was that?"

4. You aren't super comfortable watching your team play around new people

You have a tendency to get TOO into the game, much like the boys....

5. You "Get up for Gameday"

And you probably have wondered why you haven't been chosen as a guest picker because you're obviously better than Katy Perry....

6. The boys will come to you for score updates

*looks conflicted* "uh, what's the score of the ___ vs ___ game?"

7. You know how to relay game updates informatively

Because most people want the score, quarter/inning, and outs/ time left--- not just "we're winning!:)"

8. Superstition is a real thing

If you were outside when we were winning and you decide to come in and we start losing, guess what? Back outside you go.....

9. Rain doesn't stop you from getting your "game" on

That freezing cold rain didn't stop us from cheering on our Trojans!

10. Best of all, you know all the classic warm-up/ game day/ walkout songs

Whether it's "Thunderstruck" by ACDC, "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses, or even "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, you know them all and can create the perfect tailgate playlist!!


Keep on sporting, girl!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
