You Know You're A Detroit Tigers Fan When...

Apr 04, 2016

As a Detroit Tigers fan, I have a special place in my heart for the team. The Tigers have had their ups and downs in the past few seasons, but it's safe to say that I'm still a fan. True Detroit Tigers fans stand behind the team; no fair-weather fans can relate. If you're a true Tigers fan, then...

1. Opening Day is better than your birthday.

2. Getting stares for wearing Tigers gear in other cities (like Chicago) makes you proud.

3. Meeting Paws is like seeing Santa as a child.

4. "Bless you Boys" is nostalgic.

5. Ernie will always be your man.

6. You collected a brick (or chair if you could afford it) from Old Tigers stadium. If not, you grab dirt or grass from the infield and keep it in a jar.

7. Your kids are automatic Tigers fan.

8. You retire your shirt with the name of a traded player (Fielder...sigh)

9. Face painting is a symbol of your Detroit pride.

10. You never lose faith in your boys.

11. A hot dog and beer never tasted so good.

12. The off-season is like withdrawal.

13. You wear your Tigers hat more often than not.

14. You watch the game through the fence.

15. Your hate for the White Sox is real.

16. Rain doesn’t faze you in the least (you're Michigan strong).

17. The thought of missing a game makes you tear up.

18. If you have to drive for any reason during a game, the radio is on blast.

19. You stay with a game, even in the 15th inning.

20. Being a fair-weather fan isn’t an option.

21. You say, "Once a Tigers fan, always a Tigers fan."

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
