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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
