A lot of people have strong feelings about Adam Sandler movies; either you love them or hate them. I fall into the category of people who could watch them over and over again and laugh just as hard as I did the first time. I also was #blessed with the ability to quote 'The Waterboy' like no other and because of this, in my opinion, underrated talent, I realized that Bobby Boucher taught us all a little about life in his college football debut.


1. Stand up for yourself.

When the Mud Dogs quarterback teased Bobby, Coach Klein told Bobby he needs to start standing up for himself, which in turn lead to him "opening a can of whoop ass" and becoming a crucial part of the Mud Dogs' defense.


2. Underdogs always make the best comebacks.

The South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs weren’t even suppose to even make it to the Bourbon Bowl, let alone win it. Once Bobby Boucher showed up at halftime the Mud Dogs took the game into their own hands and beat the Cougars 30-27.



3. You gotta be tough.

When you're head to head with an obstacle life throws at you, don't give up so easily. Live life like Captain Insano.


4. Love who you want.

Even though Mama hated Vicki Vallencourt, Bobby still loved her. She was his biggest cheerleader and his first (and only) love. Their relationship was probably deemed very surface level to many people, but in the end they were happily married.


5. Don't smoke crack.

A good lesson from LT we should all remember daily.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
