Being a Clemson Tiger fan isn’t dependent on how long you’ve been a fan or if you can attend every game. Whether you’ve been a life-long fan or if you’re new to the fandom, one thing can be said for certain: we love our Clemson Tigers.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means being a part of something bigger than just college football.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means that no matter win or lose, we show up and cheer on our team. And at no point, should we ever boo our Tigers. Hell, we might not agree with the calls that are being made or what’s happening on the field, but booing is unacceptable. Sure, we can boo refs and bad calls, but never our own team. It’s embarrassing. It doesn’t look good for Clemson and for visiting fans. Clemson Family doesn’t stop being family because of some bad plays.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means meeting at the paw after every home game. Of course winning makes the celebration at the paw even better, but even after a tough loss, we all come together to support the team.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means waking up Saturdays in the fall, throwing on orange and purple, and getting ready to watch some Tiger football. Wind, rain, extreme heat, nothing can stop Death Valley from being packed at game time. Sticking through the roughest weather from kick-off to meeting at the paw might be tough, but if the players have to do it, we can do it.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means watching the most exciting 25 seconds in college football for every home game. Nothing compares to being in Death Valley with 80,000 fellow Clemson Tiger fans hearing the canon go off and watching the boys run down the hill.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means you bleed orange. Your entire wardrobe is dominated with orange and some purple and white.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means celebrating Solid Orange Friday every single Friday. You wake up and throw on your orange.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means that you love Dabo, the team, and President Clements like your own personal family.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means you know at least 3 things by heart: Tiger Rag, Cadence Count, and the Alma Mater.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan mean being All In for the team and all things Clemson Football.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means knowing that miracles can happen in the 4th quarter.

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means nothing is more sacred than Howard's Rock (and our collection in our trophy room).

Being a Clemson Tiger fan means knowing that our team won the 2016 National Championship and they’ll do it again one day!

Nothing compares to being a Clemson Tiger fan. It’s always a great day to be a Clemson Tiger.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
