Why I Am A Green Bay Packers Fan

There are millions of people around the world who love the Green Bay Packers. Their official Facebook page has 5.4 million likes by their devout fans. Their home, Lambeau Field, is the Mecca of football. Every home game day, thousands of Packer lovers gather on the grounds of this said 'holy land'. The Packers are by far my favorite team, and here is why.

They have one of the richest pasts in the NFL.

They started in 1919 and joined the NFL in 1921, a year after the league was formed, along with a few NFL teams that still remain. They are original and devout to their city.

In general, the players and staff are good people.

Players, both high profile and not high profile, are people who are involved in the community and help good causes or start their own cause. They are nice to people when confronted at the grocery store by a fan and have great character. They also tend to stay out of handcuffs and trouble with the NFL.

The Super Bowl trophy is named after a famous Packer coach.

The Lombardi Trophy is named after the late Packers coach, Vince Lombardi. Lombardi coached the Packers from 1959-1967. He led the team to five NFL Championships and then two Super Bowl Championships after it became the new name for the NFL championship game.

It strengthens the bond between some family and friends.

It is great when you can spend time with your entire family cladded in Packer gear all cheering for the same thing. During holidays, the feeling is even better, even if not everyone is a Packer fan.

They tend to win.

At least in winning years, they almost always make it to the playoffs. Sometimes, when it looks like the Packers are going to lose, one or more of the many talented players does something amazing to win the game.

Again, Lambeau Field.

I cannot even count how many times I have been to Lambeau, but every time I am there I still feel a sense of awe in that I am walking with something legendary

They are respected.

Respect is an important thing to have. It's great knowing that your team is respected and admired by many other football fans and players. It feeds into the Packer Pride every fan feels about the team.

These are just a few of many reasons why I love the Green Bay Packers. Just like millions of others, they will always be my team.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
