Well, almost.

Imgur user eharvey328 has taken college football rivalries to another level, using some creative editing skills to horrify college football fans everywhere by placing teams in their rival’s colors. There are some pretty dark corners of the Internet, but this is about as demented as it gets.

Team colors are one of the most important part’s of a school’s identity. They have their own histories, their own names, even their own mythology.

Red isn’t just red: its crimson, scarlet and cardinal. Blue is Carolina Blue, purple is Royal Purple, and orange is Burnt Orange.

Colors having special names is not a new concept. Go shopping for paint and you’ll find thousands of different names from captivating teal to autumn cover. Sometimes it’s for the sake of art, other times just for a more accurate description. But in all honesty no one really cares.

When it comes to team colors though, everyone cares. Fans bleed their colors for a reason. Many Gator fans refuse to buy a red car, or wear maroon (excuse me, garnet) colored clothing. No true Ohio State fan can stand to be in a room with any combination of deep blue and bright yellow.

So seeing your most hated rival in your team’s colors is fairly traumatizing.

Florida and Florida State were not the only victims, with teams from the Big 12, Big 10, ACC and SEC also getting the treatment.

Auburn - Alabama

Trees were poisoned over things like this:

Ohio State – Michigan

Texas - Oklahoma

The Red River Rivalry as it never should be seen:

And I never thought I would say these words, but…

Orange and Blue have never looked more hideous.

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.
