The Very Real Struggles Of Living At College & How To Conquer Them

0
0

A college is a place of freedom. A place where you are free from your parents and are in charge of your schedule. However, college isn’t the best when you are face to face with real-life struggles. With poor scheduling and organization skills, you are stuck in a corner you have no idea how to get out. This leaves you no choice but to call your parents for help. But, we are here to stop you from embarrassing yourself in front of your parents. Here are our tips and tricks to avoiding the struggles of college.


Group Projects

Group projects can be hell. No one meets to work on the project, they make excuses not to do their work, and sometimes you are left doing all the work. An excellent way to avoid these situations of group projects, tell your professor what is happening. And if you have to, nag your group members to do their work. As long as you do your part of the project, you will end up succeeding and happily watching your group members fail right in front of you.


Meeting The Minimum Requirement

Everyone has been in the position where they have written nine pages of work but still need one more page of content to meet the ten-page requirement. You have tried every trick in the book by adding a space to every ending sentence to making every period two sizes larger. If those tricks don’t work, try adding quotes. Quotes are simple, they take little effort to find, and there is no limit to how long the quote needs to be.


Class Presentations

Are you the person who get’s nervous when talking in front of large groups? If you are this person, sorry there is no cure. But, there is a treatment. Try writing notes or a script of what you are going to say. Practice as much as you can, in the mirror, in the shower, even to the wall. It also helps if you go first, that way you can get your presentation over with and it allows there to be no high expectations.


No Wi-Fi

This is a tricky struggle to fix. Overall, you can’t fix the school Wi-Fi, but you can find other Wi-Fi networks. Find yourself a café or a library where there is Wi-Fi that works. Going out to a café or library will help you get some fresh air and some time to yourself to think. Don’t panic when the Wi-Fi acts up. Take a deep breath and look at your options.


Realizing You Forgot To Do An Assignment

Everyone has had this happen to them at least once. If you are at a point where you have no time to write anything up, don’t panic. Look at your options for fixing the situation. Email your professor and ask for an extension. More than likely they will allow you a few extra days to finish the assignment. Worst case scenario they will give you partial credit for turning it in late. But, at least you got credit instead of none.


What Do Dogs Think About?

Dogs are those companions that will stay by our side no matter what. They are our best friend who will always cuddle with us when we are sad, play with us to make us smile, and help us when we are in trouble. But, have you ever stop to think what dogs think about? Those times where they are staring at you or when they are sniffing the air. Dogs have similar brains to humans but can only grow up to have a four to the five-year-old brain. This is why they like to play and nap 24/7, and they are toddlers. But, the big question is, what do they think about?

Since dog’s brains are similar to humans, they do share the same emotional factors. During emotional states, dogs have the same hormones and experience the same chemical changes as humans.  The hormone oxytocin which produces love and affection to the human body is produced in the canine body. It makes sense why dogs are man’s best friends.

Dogs are similar to humans in the sense that they do have similar emotions and they do, in fact, dream. Since their minds grow up to be equivalent to a four to five-year-old toddler, dogs do think. Toddlers are, and so are dogs. That’s why they constantly sniff everything and look in every corner in every room. Loud sounds and new faces make them want to learn more and understand what is going on.

They are smart and clever. Some dogs are much more intelligent than others. The cuteness factor comes in when they want food or belly rubs. While the thought of “if I keep bothering my person they will throw the ball for me” runs through their head regularly.

There is no real answer to what specifically dogs think about, but the only conclusion people have found is that dogs do think. There is an assortment of things they could be thinking about. Our best guess is three main thoughts are going through dog’s heads which are food, ball, and love.

Top 10 Best College Football Coaches Of All Time

Best College Football Coaches

There have been numerous coaches who have lifted their teams to championships in college football. With such a large roster, the best teams usually feature a similar amount of talent, and the coach who better prepares their team with a superior gameplan usually wins. The coaches make the players, not vice versa. In a game that was once run dominant, here are 10 coaches whose resume’s feature accomplishments that put them into a company of their own.

10. Bo Schembechler, Michigan (1969-89)

Glenn “Bo” Schembechler, the only coach to make this list with a national title is more than worthy. During his time with the Wolverines, Bo racked up a record of 194 wins, 48 losses, and 5 ties. Only Tom Osborne and Joe Paterno can say they reached the 200 win mark in fewer games than Schembechler. Bo also won 13 Big Ten titles in his 20 seasons with Michigan. Playing his collegiate career at Miami being coached by the legendary Woody Hayes set the stage for Bo. In his first season coaching Michigan, Bo shocked the world when he defeated his mentor Woody Hayes, who was coaching a dominant Ohio State team, maybe Hayes’ best who were riding a 22 game win streak. This win was significant for many reasons. After struggling through the 50’s and 60’s, Schembechler was able to put Michigan back on the map as a national contender with what is considered one of the greatest upsets in college football history. Ensuing was what was known as the “Ten Year War” between Hayes and his Buckeyes, and Bo and his Wolverines. Bo had the slight edge with a 5-4-1 record.


9. Lou Holtz, (1969-04)

These types of lists usually only consider the run’s coaches had at one school. For Lou Holtz, that strategy does not apply considering he really coached all over the map. From William & Marry to NC State to Arkansas to Minnesota to Notre Dame to South Carolina, Holtz was everywhere. By coaching at all of these different schools, Holtz is the only coach in the history of the game to lead six different programs to bowl games and four different schools into the top 20 rankings. His most significant accomplishment was his perfect season in South Bend, where he led the Fighting Irish to a perfect 12-0 record and consensus national title recognition after a Fiesta Bowl victory. Notre Dame was probably Holtz’s’ most memorable run as he brought the Irish out of dark times and turned the program completely around. His first move as coach was to remove the player’s names from the back of the jersey, so the knew what they were playing for. It was inspiration over tactics for Holtz and players bought into what he had to say.


8. Woody Hayes, Ohio State (1951-78)

Instagram Photo

Before mentoring the great Bo Schembechler, Hayes had his only dazzling coaching career. Over the course of his 28 seasons coaching the Buckeyes, Hayes won five national championships, 13 Big 10 titles, and a record of 205-61-10. Aside from his greatness on the field, Hayes also made a political mark. He was a pioneer in the process of recruiting African-Americans to play college football. This wasn’t the only noise that Hayes would create off the field. Hayes was also known for throwing legendary punches. Following a 17-0 beatdown from USC, Hayes was trying to punch Los Angeles Examiner sportswriter Al Bine. However, he missed and hit Bob Shafer’s brother instead. This wouldn’t be the end of the punching woes. In the 1978 Gator Bowl, the Buckeyes were trailing Clemson 17-15 with about two minutes and 30 seconds left. On third and five on the Clemson 24 yard line, Hayes elected to run a pass play. The pass was intercepted by Clemson defensive tackle Charlie Bauman. Bauman returned it down the Ohio State sideline where he was eventually tackled out of bounds. As Bauman got up, Hayes punched him directly in the throat, unleashing a full-on brawl between the two benches. Players admired his fire and wanted to play with him, but in the end, it was that fire that got the best of Hayes, leading to his immediate firing.


7. Bobby Bowden, Florida State (1976-2009)

Instagram Photo

With a career record of 377-129-4, Bowden safely finds his spot on this list. The two-time national champion and 12 time ACC champion was known for his consistency. It wasn’t until the final stages of his coaching legacy did his teams start to crumble. During his 34 seasons at FSU, he only entailed one losing record. It was his first season after he took over a team that had gone 4-29 the three previous years. His golden age was between 1987 and 2000, where the Seminoles notched at least 10 wins each season and his two national titles came in this era. The first in 1993 and the second in 1999. In 2001, Bowden brought the Seminoles back to the championship. However, they would fall short to Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. Bowden’s run of nine straight BCS games was astonishing and his ability to completely flipped the script for a struggling Seminoles team and will forever be remembered as one of the best to ever do it.


6. Joe Paterno, Penn State (1966-11)

Instagram Photo

“JoePa” had the longevity that will never be matched by anyone. After coaching for a whopping 45 years at Happy Valley, Paterno posted an incredible 409 wins, 136 losses, and three ties. With over 400 wins, Paterno stands alone in the all-time wins column, but of course, his resume does not stop there. Two national championships with three Big Ten titles, plus 40 years of national contention. He was the first coach to win all four of the BCS bowl games, including the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl, and the Cotton Bowl. Paterno also led Penn State to four undefeated seasons where they won their bowl game and were not awarded the national championship. “JoePa” also had his team finish in the top 10 of national rankings 29 times. With Paterno, it is not even about the accolades, it is more about the fact that he was able to do this for 45 years, and consistently put a winning team on the field. If some of those undefeated seasons had resulted in consensus national title recognition, he would be much higher on this list, maybe even first.


5. Knute Rockne, Notre Dame (1918-30)

Instagram Photo

The ideologist behind passing plays, Knute Rockne safely finds his way towards the top of the list. In his 13 years of leading the Fighting Irish, Knute led them to 105 wins, 12 losses, and five ties. Among those wins came three national championships and five undefeated seasons. To do this day, he still holds the highest winning percentage among all major college football coaches. In 1931, Rockne died on a tragic plane crash where he was headed to act in the film The Spirit Of Notre Dame. He was a pioneer to the business side of the game and is a core reason the game ever became so popular. His legacy lives on forever not just in South Bend, but across the entire nation. This list wouldn’t be complete without Knute Rockne.


4. Tom Osborne, Nebraska (1973-97)

Instagram Photo

As coach of some of the greatest teams to ever play the game, Tom Osborne has a strong case to even be listed higher than number four. With an implausible record of 255-49-3, Osborne greatness is almost unmatched. During his years, he won three national championships, 12 Big East titles, and one Big 12 title. In 24 out of 25 seasons, Osborne’s team finished in the top 15 of the national rankings. Known for his powerful rushing attacks and stingy defenses, Osborne dominated the 90’s. After losing the Orange Bowl in 1994 to Florida State 18-16, the Cornhuskers bounced back the following season to earn Osborne his first national title. That loss to Florida State would also be the last time that Osborne would lose a bowl game. The final game he coached was the 98′ Orange Bowl against a Tennessee team led by quarterback Peyton Manning. The Cornhusker put on a show that Osborne had been conducting ever since he became head coach with a dismantling of the Volunteers with a final score of 42-17. This would be Osborne’s last game coaching and the end of Peyton Manning’s collegiate career.


3. Urban Meyer, 2001-present

Instagram Photo

Similar to Lou Holtz, Meyer’s success at different schools had a tremendous impact on how he got so high on this list at such a young age. After having success at Bowling Green and a BCS bowl win in his lone season at Utah, Meyer decided to accept a job to become the head coach at the University of Florida. In just his second season with the Gators, Meyer led them to a national championship with a 41-14 victory over Ohio State giving him his first title. Two seasons later, Meyer again found himself in the national championship, this time against the mighty Oklahoma Sooners, who they handled 24-14 earning Meyer his second championship in just four years with the Gators. In 2009 Meyer announced his retirement due to health concerns and it appeared his coaching days were over. Back full in health, Meyer decided to accept a job for the vacant position at the Ohio State University. In his first year with the Buckeyes, he led them to a perfect 12-0 record, however, due to NCAA violations they were banned from the postseason. In 2014 the NCAA restrictions on the Buckeyes were lifted, and Meyer brought them to a national championship. After dismantling Marcus Mariota and the high-octane Oregon offense 42-20, Meyer had won his third championship and cemented his legendary status for good. By the end of his career, he might have a pretty strong argument for topping this list.


2. Bear Bryant, Alabama (1958-82)

Instagram Photo

Paul “Bear” Bryant was not just a coaching legend but an icon for college football. In his third season with the Tide, he led them to perfect 11-0 season resulting in his first championship of many to come. The six-time national champion and 14-time SEC champion has the resume of a guy who should be top of the list, but unfortunately for him, his heir took that throne. None the less, Bryant had an astonishing record of 325-85-17 and was the 12 time SEC coach of the year. To put things into perspective, the Coach of the Year Award is usually a one time gig to give other coaches a chance to make a name for themselves, but Bryant’s teams were so good the NCAA had no choice. Similar to Lou Holtz, Bryant favored his words over his tactics, as he was able to inspire his players with his speeches to bring out the best in every single one of them. This was the case until 1971 when Bryant shifted his offensive focus the Wishbone look where he added variations to it and became the master.


 1. Nick Saban, Alabama (2007-present)

Instagram Photo

Where to begin. Nick Saban is the unanimous choice for topping this list. After a national title with LSU in 2003, and then five more during his tenure with Alabama, this guy just understands how to win. With a record of 218-62-1, Saban only had one failure during his coaching years, and it came at the hands of the NFL during his days with the Miami Dolphins that did not last long. The problem with Saban in the NFL is that his best trait is an ability to have guys that want to win for him and play for him. He maximizes potential like no one else, and in the NFL we’re talking about full grown men who have likely already realized their potential. His most significant accomplishment came just this past season with his most recent championship. With Alabama struggling to do anything offensively, Saban decided to bench star quarterback and Heisman candidate Jalen Hurts for true freshman Tua  Tagovailoa who Saban thought would be a better matchup against the dominant Georgia defense. Tagovailoa brought Alabama all the way back into the game resulting in an overtime victory on an improbable game-winning 41-yard touchdown. Tua was the star of the night, but it was Saban who really saved the day. The 2017 championship tied him up with the Bear for the most all-time at 6. Saban gets the nod for doing it in many less year, and much higher levels of competition, including the new college football playoff.

The 15 Best College Football Mascots Of All Time

0
0

In the realm of college football, there is one defining factor that determines how popular a team is. It’s not the coach’s clever tactics, it’s not the players’ athleticism, it’s not even the cheerleaders. No, the only thing that matters to get a huge crowd in a college stadium is a good mascot. That’s right, a guy in a goofy anthropomorphic suit and a jersey, looking like a furry with an insane amount of school spirit, is the herald of your team’s victory. The first foot to land on the battlefield to announce their presence is covered in faux fur. Surprisingly, it seems these silent heroes of the field are doomed to go unappreciated for the efforts they put into inspiring the crowd and players alike. In an effort to combat such leniency, here’s a rundown of the 15 best college football mascots.


Brutus Buckeye, Ohio State

Instagram Photo

Considering that the State of Ohio is affectionately known as “the buckeye state,” choosing the particularly tough tree nut as a mascot not only shows off Ohio State’s swell of hometown pride but also its teams’ rigid and unbreaking resilience. Named in a contest by Kerry Reed in 1965, Brutus Buckeye inspires such animosity in rival teams that Ohio Bobcats mascot-wearer Brandon Hanning confessed that his purpose in trying out for the position was so he could tackle Brutus. This revelation came after the fact.


Willie The Wildcat, Northwestern University

Instagram Photo

The wildcat is a pretty standard animal mascot and Willie is even a fairly standard name for a wildcat to have. So how does the grey cat in purple and white make this list? Because he was created by a Chicago Tribune journalist who, in 1924, wrote that even in a loss to University of Chicago, the Northwestern players were “like wildcats…had come down from Evanston. The name stuck and the mascot was created later. Northwestern: vicious as a feral feline since 1924.


Sparty The Spartan, Michigan State

Instagram Photo

Spartans make for great team mascots. The ancient Greek culture focused primarily on military power and aggression always invokes images of strong warriors and dangerous enemies. Of all the Spartan mascots, however, Sparty of Michigan State takes the cake. He’s got a hilarious yet chant-able name, looks particularly muscular even by cartoon Spartan standards and is one of the best human mascot costumes in the league.


Nittany Lion, Penn State

Instagram Photo

The Nittany Lion is actually supposed to be an Eastern Mountain Lion, specifically from nearby Mt. Nittany. It was created by H.D. Mason after being taunted by some Princeton students at an away game. On the spot, Mason declared that the Princeton Tigers would be slain by the superior right arms of the Nittany Lion. The story is commemorated by a shrine on campus and the Penn State practice of cumulative, one-armed pushups after every touchdown, showing off their ‘superior right arms.’


Mr. And Mrs. Wuf, NC State

Instagram Photo

Couples mascots can be tricky to pull off, but NC state got it right with Mr. and Mrs. Wuf. Dressed like a couple out of a 1950s high school, the gray wild canines are as vicious as they are dotting. To inspire their team with their love, the two will occasionally get ‘married’ before a game, accepting a North Carolina victory as a wedding present. And if they can’t win with the power of love, Mr. and Mrs. Wuf will be more than happy to show players how to nash their teeth intimidatingly.


Cayenne, Louisiana-Lafayette

Instagram Photo

There is no animal, person or object more terrifying than a rampaging hot pepper. Looking a bit more demonic than was likely intended this giant cayenne pepper strolls along with the Ragin’ Cajuns as an embodiment of their school spirit and their pride in Acadiana. He’s also just intimidating to look at. In the future, Louisiana-Lafayette students might start using cayenne in their battle strategy, at which point it may appear on the banned substance list.


The Sooner Schooner, Oklahoma

Instagram Photo

Who says a mascot has to be an animal or a person or even something living? Leave it to the alma mater of Good ole JR to parade a small covered wagon around the field, drawn by a pair of decorated white ponies, all the way to the 50-yard line after every touchdown. It even used to be part of a stunt where the driver would have to ride towards the goal post as fast as they could and duck their head down at the last minute. This was later stopped because football is dangerous enough as it is.


Ralphie The Buffalo, University of Colorado

Instagram Photo

The practice of using live animals as mascots has largely gone away due to safety and animal rights concerns. Apparently, the University of Colorado didn’t get the memo though because they’re currently on Ralphie number five. Led around by no less than five handlers, Ralphie loops the field twice at each home game. Despite the name Ralphie, the school exclusively uses female buffalo for, among other reasons, insurance purposes.


Chief Osceola & Renegade, Florida State University

Instagram Photo

Cultural appropriation issues aside, this is one of the most insane mascots ever. Based on the real-life Seminole chief, Osceola rides into home games on a live horse before tossing a flaming spear into midfield. Though many prominent members of the Seminole tribe have given the mascot their unofficial blessing, and some have even praised this representation of one of their culture’s unsung heroes, the depiction is still considered controversial to some.


Otto The Orange, Syracuse

Instagram Photo

As the saying goes, if you can’t eat them, baffle them. Otto the Orange is a literal anthropomorphic orange and is one of Syracuse’s most enduring institutions. Which isn’t saying much as their previous mascots were the offensive Native American stereotype Big Chief Bill Orange and the vehemently unpopular Orange Gladiator. Still, the playful and mischevious Otto is a homegrown staple of the student body and is one of the most beloved mascots in the division.


Big Red, Western Kentucky

Instagram Photo

It’s big and it’s red and that’s about all there is to it. But somehow the furry scarlet blob became an instant hit with the student body when it was introduced in 1980. Since then, its popularity has led to it placing highly in multiple cheerleading competitions and even feature fairly regularly on ESPN. He was even a part of an international lawsuit in 2004 when an Italian television show’s mascot was discovered to be eerily similar to good ole Big Red.


Sebastian The Ibis, Universtiy of Miami

Instagram Photo

For a team called the Hurricanes, what better symbol than the local marsh bird best known for braving the massive storms? Known for his classic C-A-N-E-S cheer and for being the only openly Hispanic mascot (he identifies as Cuban), Sebastian made history by being the first mascot to avoid arrest by being a mascot. After being tackled to the ground while trying to put out Chief Osceola’s flaming spear, he was released when officers realized they were literally arresting a bird in a fireman’s outfit.


Buzz & The Ramblin’ Wreck, Georgia Tech

Instagram Photo

If you have a gilded 1930 Ford Model A Sport coupe on standby, you probably would bust that baby out at every available opportunity too. Almost always accompanied by Buzz the Bee and a gaggle of enthusiastic cheerleaders, the Ramblin’ Wreck has been leading students to the football field in one form or another for the better part of sixty years. Unfortunately, it’s a prime target for rival schools and has been defaced, sabotaged and even stolen on multiple occasions.


The Demon Deacon, Wake Forest University

Instagram Photo

In 1923, Wake Forest school newspaper editor Mayon Parker got into some hot water by referring to the football team of the Baptist college as “demon deacons” for their “devilish” tactics. Fortunately for Parker, the student body embraced the description wholeheartedly. Nowadays, every Wake Forest home game begins with the thousands of cheers as a bespoke, softly smirking deacon rides into the stadium on a custom chopper, announcing the arrival of a demonic presence.


Sam The Minuteman, UMass Amherst

Instagram Photo

Named after both a popular Boston children’s book and the famed Son of Liberty and brewer Sam Adams, Sam the Minuteman is a patriotic staple of any and every UMass Amherst game. Never seen without his crimson tri-point hat and matching vest, the character is a model of having a hometown represent the college as opposed to the other way around. He’s popular enough to have appeared on ESPN segments and even tag-teamed with Pat Patriot on occasion.

Honorable mentions go to Ephelia the Purple Cow of Williams College, Sammy the Banana Slug of UC Santa Cruz and the ‘Fightin’ Irish’ Leprechaun of Notre Dame.

The 5 Unhealthy Fruit & Vegetables You Should Avoid

Unhealthy Fruit Vegetables

Remember when your parents told you, you couldn’t have dessert unless you ate all your fruits and vegetables. Well, it turns out some of those fruits and vegetables aren’t as good as people think they are. Some of your favorite healthy snacks could be causing reactions in your body. You would think that everything freshly grown is healthy, but you all thought wrong. Here are five fruits and vegetables that are bad for you.

Potatoes

Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, French fries, everyone loves potatoes. It’s our favorite carb that we always want. But, while you may think it’s delicious, you need to see why it’s unhealthy for you. Potatoes are starch, and it’s not something that makes it harmful to eat. It just doesn’t give your body the nutrition other vegetables could provide you. Most potatoes are covered in pesticides that will cause problems in your liver for long periods of time.


Peppers

A refreshing snack and tasty ingredient to any Mexican dish, but the peppers can cause inflammation in the body. This can lead to diabetes and heart disease. Peppers contain an alkaloid called solanine which can cause damage to nerve function leading to twitching and convulsions. Some people may not get these problems when eating peppers, but those who have arthritis should stay away from the colorful vegetable.


Cucumbers

Usually found on a sandwich or covering eyes for a relaxing day at the spa, but what most people don’t know is cucumbers are at the top of the lists for vegetables that have pesticides. There are precisely thirty-five different pesticides in one cucumber. In some cucumbers, there is a synthetic wax which allows for stores to preserve the vegetables for a more extended period. But, because of the wax, there is a human-made chemical in the cucumber that people will consume.


Celery

Shutterstock

Probably not the most popular vegetable out there but people do like it as a snack. Some people think it’s a healthy and nutritious snack, but the green color has fooled them. There is no nutritional value in a celery stick. There is a fact that when you chew celery, you are burning more calories than you are taking in them. Celery also has around sixty different pesticides when grown on a non-organic farm. Now, celery isn’t terrible for you. Just make sure you purchase your celery from an organic grower.


Cherries

One of the tastiest fruits that everyone can’t get enough of, but cherries are fattening. Because of the high amount of sugar in each cherry, the body will use that sugar as carbs and make you gain weight if you overeat. This isn’t a fruit you should avoid, you should be aware of how much you are consuming, especially when you are trying to lose weight.

Candace Rice Instagram: Best Photos & Must-See Pictures of Floribama Shore Star

Candace Rice is one of the cast members of the MTV reality television show Floribama Shore. The show’s first season, which consisted of eight episodes, premiered in 2017. The second season, which premiered on Monday, July 9, 2018, consisted for 20 episodes.

According to USA Today, Rice is the “only halfway sane and genuinely likable cast member”, which doesn’t seem all that surprising if you’ve ever seen the show.

The show’s second season, which consists of 20 episodes (and was later modified to 14 episodes), stars four men — Jeremiah Buoni, Codi Butts, Kirk Medas, and Gus Smyrnios — and four women: Kortni Gilson, Aimee Hall, Nilsa Prowant, and Candace Rice.

Here’s what Rice (from Memphis, Tenessee) is all about, according to her MTV bio from the first season:

“Candace brings the southern belle to PCB with her big hair, perfectly applied make-up and Instagram — ready outfits. But growing up in Memphis, she saw more gun violence than she cares to remember, so for her, this summer is all about being care-free. Her quick wit and no-nonsense demeanor make her a voice of reason in the house, and she happily takes wild child Kortni under her wing.”

You can catch Candace Rice and the rest of the Floribama Shore crew on MTV. They will have to compete with Jersey Shore Family Vacation, though, which has also made it’s long-awaited return to the network.

Top 5 Party Stereotypes Who Never Fail At Having A Good Time

Party Stereotypes

Everyone loves a good college party. Music, games, alcohol it’s like Disneyland for college students. It doesn’t matter if it’s a house party, frat party, or a block party, no one will miss the chance to get drunk with their friends. You could make an absolute fool of yourself but not even care until you realize the consequences the next morning. You may be hung over the following day or wake up to some random student you have never met before, but the memories of the night back making all your mistakes worth it. Well, sometimes. Here are our top five party stereotypes who never fail to have a good time.


Drinking Game Champ

Instagram Photo

Usually found by the beer pong table or shotgunning a beer outside. Every party night is a competition for these people. But, they don’t care if they lose because they get to drink more. They are winners no matter what. It’s free alcohol to them. After a while of becoming a master at these games, they eventually stop trying or dumb it down to keep drinking. These people are great game partners but are horrible when having to take home. Our best advice is to be their partner until you start seeing them lose their balance and then, politely, ditch them before you become responsible for them.


The Screamer/Party Starter

Instagram Photo

The real life of the party. The screamer can also be known as the party starter since they are usually always the first one on the dance floor and screaming every word of a song. They will, also, randomly yell for no reason at all. But, in some odd way, everyone loves the random screams and follow along. The screamer/party starters are always the first person to the party and the last ones out. To them, parties are their life. Which means, they will probably be in their thirties still trying to sneak their way into college parties.

Warning: if you ever see this person at a party, run! The crybaby is nine times out of ten a girl. A few drinks and this person is ready to reflect on their sad memories of their past. The tragic breakups or the thought of having to drink another shot of tequila. Whichever it is, somehow they can cry their eyes out. Some of these crybabies look like they just saw someone die. We have warned you if you see this person leave the party right away. Even if it’s your friend, get out of there and save yourself.


The Zombie

Not an actual zombie, but a very drunk and tired partier. After about five tequila shots and five beers, this person has gone into a half sleep state of partying. Half of them wants to go to sleep while the other still wants to party. Which leaves them with their eyes closed swaying to the music in the middle of the dance floor. They aren’t that hard to miss; they are usually found by themselves on the dance floor. The zombies are also the best at putting to bed. Since they are already half asleep, all you need to do is lead them to their bed, and they will be out in seconds.


Doesn’t Break Curfew

The doesn’t break curfew person is also known as a party pooper. They will try their best to have fun pregaming with their friends because they begged them to go out. After about five minutes at the party, they get bored and spend the next five minutes coming up with an excuse to leave. Sometimes being this person is nice because they will head back to their place and order Chinese or pizza. But, after going out for only ten minutes, they end up cursing at themselves for getting ready for nothing. Thankfully there is pizza to make themselves feel better.


Why Is Bryce Harper An All-Star Starter?

0
0

The 2018 All-Star lineups were announced on Sunday, and for the sixth time, the National League roster will be highlighted by none other than hometown slugger Bryce Harper. Going into this season, if you would have told me that Bryce Harper would be a starting outfielder on this year’s NL All-Star team, I wouldn’t have batted an eye, but this isn’t the beginning of the season. Harper has been a shell of his former self at the plate this season as he is currently batting .218 and has 91 strikeouts. These stats both rank bottom 20 in the entire MLB, and if we’re focusing on just the NL, he is tied for sixth in most strikeouts and has the fourth-worst batting average in the NL among qualifying players. In addition to a tough stat-line at the plate, Harper hasn’t exactly been dazzling in the field either as he hasn’t recorded a single outfield assist this year, and for you analytic folks, currently has a -1.6 Defensive WAR rating (DWAR for short). Despite all of this, Harper has found a way to be productive for the Nats, as it seems all of his hits have been big hits. The Nationals star currently ranks third in the NL with 21 home runs and has 50 RBIs to go with it, good enough for seventeenth in the NL.

While the home run and rbi numbers may be good enough to merit an all-star appearance, should Harper really be there, let alone starting in centerfield? Let’s take a look at the outfielders joining Harper in D.C. Alongside him in the starting lineup will be Dodgers Matt Kemp, and the Braves Nick Markakis. Both of these were obvious choices to headline the NL outfield as both are batting above the .300 mark, and have come up big for their teams all season. Kemp is currently batting .319 with 15 home runs and 57 RBIs, while Markakis has a slight edge, batting .322 with 10 home runs and 59 RBIs. To put that into perspective, both Kemp and Markakis are batting at least a full .100 points better than Harper, with more RBIs and if you combined the two only have 18 more strikeouts total (109) than Harper (91).

In addition to Kemp and Markakis, Harper will also be joined by reserves Charlie Blackmon, Christian Yelich, and Lorenzo Cain. While all of these guys have been good this year, none of them have been great. Blackmon is having a down year batting .276 with 17 home runs and 40 RBIs, and many are questioning whether or not he should have even been voted in, especially considering he’s had a rough season defensively as well with a -2.2 DWAR rating. Yelich and Cain, on the other hand, seem to have found their niche in Milwaukee, Yelich batting .285 with 11 home runs and 36 RBIs, and Cain batting .290 with 8 home runs and 26 RBIs as well as providing some incredible defensive work. That being said, there are a few names that aren’t on the all-star roster that fans could argue should have made it, the most shocking name of the list is Albert Almora Jr. who is tied for the NL lead batting .326. One could also make a case for players such as David Peralta or Odubel Herrera, who are both having stellar first half’s. Peralta batting .291 with 15 home runs and 49 RBIs, and Herrera coming in at .281 also with 15 home runs and 51 RBIs.

Regardless of who you feel could have made it, it is fair to say that the NL outfield options aren’t quite as deep as they have been in years past, and if that isn’t enough, we all know how questionable the selection process actually is. A process where players such as Jesus Aguilar who is batting .306 with 22 home runs and 63 RBIs and Blake Snell, who is 12-4 with an AL lowest 2.09 ERA got left out. So with the All-Star game being in D.C. after all, and Harper being one of if not, the most polarizing player in the MLB in recent years maybe it makes sense that he got in; but just because it makes sense, doesn’t mean that it’s right.

So what do you think? 

Lighting Your Cig With The Flames Currently Engulfing Your Car Is A Ballsy Move

While you first might scoff at the idea of standing next to a flame-engulfed to light a cigarette, the more you think about it in context of this particular situation, the more it makes sense.

This guy, 25-year old Robert Quigley, just drunkenly wrecked his car, and not only that, but the entire thing burst into flames. Basically, he was screwed and he knew it, so he weighed his options:

Option A) He could run, which would ultimately land him in more trouble.

Option B) He could wait for the cops & enjoy one last cigarette before he spends the night in jail.

Option C) He could avoid all of the consequences by letting the car explode in his face.

According to my professional analysis, Quigley did a little bit of both options B & C: he tried to have a quick boge before being thrown in the clink, and if the car explodes while trying to do so, then so be it.

via Fox News:

A suspected drunken driver went back to his burning car Sunday to try lighting his cigarette using the flames, according to the CHP. Amy Walker with the CHP says Robert Quigley, 25, rear-ended an SUV that was stopped in traffic on westbound Interstate 80 just west of Antelope Road. At the time of the crash, Quigley was driving around 75 to 80 mph.

A CHP officer spotted the car after it burst into flames and turned around in traffic to help. As he did, he spotted Quigley switch seats with his female passenger. Quigley later admitted to the officer that he was behind the wheel at the time of the crash.

A witness told officials a shirtless Quigley went back to his burning car to light his cigarette, singeing part of his eyebrows off in the process

When asked why he did it (tried to light a cig with a f*cking burning car), Quigley hilariously said: “Yeah I’m not afraid of fire. I deal with this kind of stuff all the time.”

He’s been charged on suspicion of driving under the influence and was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail.

The Last NCAA College Football Video Game Came Out 5 Years Ago Today, What’s Next?

0

Today marks a sad day not only in the video gaming world but the college football world. On July 9, 2013, the last EA Sports NCAA College Football video game was released. Since then through a string of court cases and lawsuits, the NCAA stripped us of one of the best sports video game franchises.

Much of the controversy with the game stemmed from licensing rights and the use of player likenesses. The NCAA of course tries and finds every way imaginable to stop student-athletes from collecting any type of profit, even when these same players are bringing in MILLIONS for these schools.

The NCAA has long been a lightning rod for its poor decision making, unfair rules, and lack of competent leadership. And, one thing many college fans have not forgiven is the end to the EA Sports College Football video game era. Much like how the NCAA reaches into the pockets of college athletes, they reached into our gaming systems and robbed us of the joy of playing our favorite football video game.

No longer could we run the glorious college option offense while cheerleading chants ring in the background. Or scoring a touchdown and having the band strike up the old fight song. We were robbed of playing with DeShaun Watson, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Saquon Barkley, Leonard Fournette, and Christian McCaffery, among many others.

Today we should all call upon the NCAA to right its unjust wrong and return us our beloved NCAA College Football video game.


Is There Hope For A Future NCAA Football Video Game?

Many people have done their best to keep the college football game up to date over the years. Everyone over at Operations Sports message boards deserves a HUGE thank you for doing their best to comb over all of the rosters and provide us with an updated version that can be downloaded onto NCAA 14. But, it’s just not enough to quench our thirst for a new and improved college football video game.

If EA would finally be given the green light, much would go into the recreation of the game. New stadium upgrades would need to be implemented, along with jersey options and upgrading the dynasty/recruiting mode. Overall, eager fans would most likely have to wait another two years before the release of a new game.

The closest comparable video game option that is currently in the works is Gridiron Champions, which will be released in 2020. The game will not feature real universities or any resemblance to real players or schools. It’s basically an entirely made up game claiming to be a college football game. Gridiron Champions is being developed by IMackulate Vision Gaming and will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam.


A Simple Solution

5 years ago today, the last NCAA Football game ever was released. RIP to the GOAT video game of all time. @StoolGametime pic.twitter.com/OyQcrvgJa8

— Laces Out (@LacesOutShow) July 9, 2018

The NCAA could step in and end all of this nonsense by allowing players to collect a small percentage for the use of their names, likenesses, and images. EA Sports would jump right on if the NCAA could implement common-sense practices. But folks, I would not hold your breath, with Mark Emmert at the helm, the NCAA has a history of dragging their feet on such issues.


Top 10 Best MLB Home Run Derby Performances Of All Time

The MLB Home Run Derby has been an All-Star week staple for decades and just the pure thrill of watching the best sluggers in the game absolutely tank balls 400 plus feet is truly something special. Notable winners of this great event include Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, David Ortiz, Yoenis Cespedes, Mark McGwire, Vlad Guerrero, and of course, Ken Griffey Jr. With the Home Run Derby taking place at Nationals Park, players are sure to send plenty of balls into the DC night. With that being said, let’s take a look at some of the best Home Run Derby performances of recent memory. Although some of these players did not end up winning the event, their power did not go unnoticed.


10. Aaron Judge: 2017

Instagram Photo

The show that Aaron Judge put in on 2017 was simply astounding. The 6’7″ 282 Baby Bomber hit 47 total home runs and made it look easy. His effortless and powerful swing sent Marlins Park into a frenzy with a number of tape measure shots and hits well over 100 miles per hour off of the bat. A player of Judge’s size and ability is extremely rare and we should just appreciate his style of play, even if you hate the Yankees.


9. David Ortiz: 2010

Instagram Photo

Even though this man has given me nightmares and PTSD from his display of power against the Yankees, David Ortiz was truly one of the most powerful players in the league. Ortiz won his only home run derby in 2010 and put on a show. He hit 21 total homers in the first two rounds, which was good enough to advance to the finals. Ortiz ended up defeating Hanley Ramirez by the score of 11-5 in the championship round.


8. Yoenis Cespedes: 2013

Instagram Photo

Yoenis Cespedes won the 2013 Home Run Derby without even being selected to the All-Star game. How do you like them apples? Cespedes sent balls into orbit at Citi Field while he was a member of the Oakland Athletics and defeated Bryce Harper 9-8 in a nail-biting championship round. He hit 17 homers in the first round and this was all before he joined the Mets. Now he’s been nicked by the injury bug and the Mets definitely miss him.


7. Prince Fielder: 2009 & 2012

Instagram Photo

Prince Fielder’s performances in 2009 and 2012 were both extremely impressive. Fielder sent balls flying all over the park and was the only one to win the derby as a member of a team from each of the two leagues. It’s honestly such a shame that his career ended so early. His power and presence on the field are missed by baseball fans everywhere.


6. Robinson Cano: 2011

Instagram Photo

Robinson Cano put on an absolute show with his father pitching to him at Chase Field in 2011. His incredibly quick hands and exit velocity helped him win the event but his performance the year after was purely abysmal. Cano only hit four home runs and didn’t get past the first round. Yikes.


5. Todd Frazier: 2015

Instagram Photo

When Todd Frazier was a member of the Cincinnati Reds, they were enduring the beginning of the dark ages. However, he gave the hometown fans something to cheer about as he belted 39 home runs and beat Joc Pederson in the championship round 15-14. He was just the second player to win the derby in the friendly confines of his own park.


4. Bobby Abreu: 2005

Instagram Photo

At the time, the record in the Home Run Derby was 28. Abreu hit 24. In the first round. He finished with a total of 41 and made the crowd at Comerica Park go absolutely crazy. Abreu’s raw power was truly something to see and he made it look easy.


3. Ken Griffey Jr: 1994, 1998 & 1999

Instagram Photo

The swing, the backward hat, and just an all-around legend. Junior put on an absolute clinic in the years that he won and it’s only fitting that he won it THREE times. He represented the game of baseball in the 1990’s and his swing is one of the most iconic and picturesque things in the world. Seriously though, if I got the chance to see this man play in person, I probably would have lost it.


2. Giancarlo Stanton: 2016

Instagram Photo

I’m going to keep this simple. 61 home runs and 20 of them in the final round. Stanton launched balls out of Petco Park without much effort. His raw power is unlike anything we’ve seen and he hits the ball anywhere from 100-120 miles per hour off the bat with his extremely explosive and dangerous swing. There are plenty of near 500 foot shots in Stanton’s future. Mark my words.


1. Josh Hamilton: 2008

Instagram Photo

Josh Hamilton did not win this derby. However, how he got to it is an amazing story. Hamilton was a draft bust with a drug addiction problem and he was out of baseball from 2004-2006. When the 2008 season rolled around, Hamilton had 95 RBI’s before the All-Star break. The derby was held at the Old Yankee Stadium and he almost tore it down early.

Hamilton launched 28 home runs in the first round alone and there were a few that had a projected distance of well over 500 feet. Some of those balls almost flew out of the stadium. That type of raw power at the old stadium had probably not been seen since Babe Ruth and it’s only fitting that Hamilton blessed the House That Ruth Built with one last display of jaw-dropping tape measure shots.

Hamilton lost to Justin Morneau 5-3 in the championship round but the effort and story of how Josh Hamilton wowed New York City is the reason why his performance is number one on this list.

Police Tweet Heart-Wrenching Story of 45-Year-Old Cold Case With Renewed Hopes of Finding The Killer

Twitter

While technology has undoubtedly changed the world in countless ways, one of the most underappreciated aspects of mankind’s endless technological advancements is that of DNA technology, and particularly, how that technology is applied.

Whether it be catching a killer or exonerating an innocent man, DNA technology has literally made the world a safer place.

For example, because of the tools authorities and investigators now have, a psychopathic murderer in 2018 might be more hesitant than a murder in 1973. Or better yet, a murder that was unsolvable in 1973 may be solvable today.

At least that’s what the police in Newport Beach, California, are hoping, anyway.

On Friday, July 6 — 45 years since the disappearance of Linda O’Keefe — the Newport Beach Police tweeted out O’Keefe’s story in a renewed effort to find her killer. But why now? Why not last year or five years ago? The answer is, you guessed it, DNA technology.

Thanks to new technology that allows investigators to digitally render someone’s face with a sample of their DNA, Newport Beach police are hoping that the results of this new tech — Parabon Spanshot — will lead to more information about the still unidentified monster.

Using DNA that the killer left behind, police rendered the following image of what he would look like today:

In an effort to make sure this image was seen as far and wide as possible, the Newport Bleach told Linda’s story on Twitter, aggregating their tweets into a “moment”.

The story is both terrifying and heartbreaking, but hopefully — thanks to the Newport Police Department’s relentless pursuit of justice — this moment of virality is what’s needed to finally bring the killer into the light.

Police are asking anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call the NBPD Cold Case Tip Line at 949-644-3669.

Rest in peace, Linda.

The man in this video was smart and gave us a bit of a laugh. Tears may be shed; however, it makes you think about how often you visit your family.

And it isn’t just announced to the parents; it’s the husband announcements. The shocked faces and excitement are so captivating you have to remind yourself that it’s just a video.

If you don’t cry during these videos, you have no soul. Returning home videos are like emotions on steroids. Imagine one of your loved ones that you haven’t seen in a long time, and they come to surprise you. Of course, you are going to cry! You are dead inside if you don’t cry. Even though they aren’t our families reuniting they never fail to make us cry.

Iowa College Football Player Allegedly Assaulted A University Police Officer With A “Football Move”

Turner Joseph Ellis, a 19-year-old student who played for Upper Iowa University’s football team, allegedly assaulted Iowa City police while using what has been described as a “football move”. The incident allegedly happened on in the early hours of the morning of Sunday, July 8.

Ellis, from Urbandale, Iowa, was arrested and charged with assault on persons in certain occupations, bodily injury — an aggravated misdemeanor — after he allegedly pushed an Iowa City police officer to the ground and causing a knee injury.

Ellis was, of course, intoxicated at the time of the incident. After his arrest, he was found to have a .142 blood alcohol level.

via Iowa City Press-Citizen:

The incident took place at about 1:19 a.m. Sunday in the block of 10 S. Dubuque St. and is reported as a separate incident to the strong-arm robbery that took place at a similar time and place in downtown Iowa City.

Police found Ellis standing over a male that was knocked out and on the ground. When police made contact with Ellis, he started to run away. Police chased him and finally caught him.

When the police tried to take Ellis into custody, he then allegedly pushed an officer to the ground, injuring the officer’s knee and tearing the officer’s pants. According to the police complaint, Ellis refereed to the push as a “football move.”

Ellis, who is listed on the 2018 Upper Iowa Peacocks roster as a redshirt freshman linebacker, was booked at the Johnson County Jail at about 2:09 a.m. Sunday with the assault charge along with public intoxication and interference with official acts, both simple misdemeanors.

At this time, the Upper Iowa University football team has yet to comment on Ellis’ arrest.

WWE Raw Live Stream: How To Watch Monday Night Raw Online – 07/09/18

This past weekend the WWE took over Madison Square Garden for some big appearances and some dream matches. Now that the storyline side step is over it’s time to focus on what tonight is, the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw before Extreme Rules this Sunday! The Red Brand will get a chance to set up their stories one more time before all the rules are called off Sunday. Here’s where to catch Monday Night Raw!

Tonight Monday Night Raw will be in the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

Last week Braun Stroman caught Kevin Owens in maybe the most embarrassing place possible… a portapotty. Owens has been trying to stay away from the Monster Among Men for weeks to no avail. Will he be able to keep away from the big man tonight or will he find himself in another… awkward situation.

Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns have had a hard time getting along. When they paired up to face The Revival, The Big Dog refused to tag Lashley in. And when Dash and Dawson decided to continue their assault on Reigns after the bell rung, Lashley decided that if Reigns didn’t want his help before, he wouldn’t be giving it to him afterward. Will the bad blood boil over more tonight before their one-on-one match this Sunday?

The WWE Universe was elated at the return of Team Hell No over on SmackDown Live but they aren’t the only ones who have returned from their saga… The former personal therapist for Team Hell No, Dr. Shelby has returned to try and mend the bridge between former best firends– Bayley and Sasha Banks. The WWE is determined to see the two mend their friendship and that leaves us all asking… WHY!? Their matches in NXT were awesome!

Baron Corbin has gotten a little drunk on power ever since he has become the “constable” of Raw. But he may have stepped up to the wrong man. After demanding an apology from Finn Balor over their team up mishap, Corbin was left wanting. Now instead of verbal retribution, he will be looking for physical, taking on Balor at Extreme Rules. Will the Demon King have anything to say to the Lone Wold before Extreme Rules? Other than an apology of course…

Ryanne Breton Instagram: Hottest Photos & Must-See Pictures

The captain of the Philadelphia Flyers Claude Giroux tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Ryanne Breton. The two had been engaged since 2016. The wedding comes just a week after teammate Wayne Simmonds said his “I Do’s” with his girlfriend Crystal Corey.

Giroux had a resurgent season after popping the question to Breton and was snubbed in the Hart Trophy voting this past season, but fortunately for him, he was not snubbed at the altar by the adorable Breton. For the sake of all Flyers fans out there we’re glad Giroux was able to pull this one off; unlike showing up in the playoffs. But, let’s not rain on the happily married couples parade; I mean look at these two.

Adorable just keeps coming to my mind with each picture I see of Ryanne Breton. Giroux has scored many goals in his career but none bigger than scoring this chick.

Breton according to her Twitter profile is a professional organizer, not really sure what that means, but when you date the captain of the Flyers, you essentially can be whatever you want. She also lists frequent packer, pup momma, and NHL Flyers supporter.

Breton is a native of Ottawa, the capital of Canada, which is also the home country of Giroux, but she now resides in the city of ‘Brotherly Love’, home to the Liberty Bell, the 2018 Super Bowl Champs (never forget), and her boo Claude.

Not only has Breton brought love to Giroux’s life but she and her bachelorette party introduced us to a game I have never seen before, and maybe it’s because as a guy I don’t frequent these types of bashes, but if this is a common game it is news to me.

Don’t worry girls finding the hole is a common problem for many men out there.

Also, as a good sign of team comradery, many of Giroux’s fellow teammates showed up to take part in the wedding festivities.

Emily Henderson, a Texas woman, claims she was dragged out of her car by the manager and staff of the Luminous Nails and Spa in San Antonio, Texas, on Saturday, July 7.

Henderson claims that she had to leave the left Luminous Nails and Spa in San Antonio because of the quality of service and how the manager had treated her. As she was leaving, she claims that the same manager — referred to a Gia — and other staff dragged her out of her truck before police arrived.

“All she kept saying was ‘Pay me. Pay me. Pay me. We did your nails you need to pay us,'” Henderson told KSAT.

In addition to the manager, Henderson claims that four other nail technicians, including the manager’s son, came outside and tried to remove her from her vehicle. She claims that the manager’s son eventually managed to get her out of the truck, causing her to fall hard on her back on the pavement.

via KSAT:

The manager grabbed her leg and tried to pull her out of the truck, she said. Henderson says she told the woman to let go. When the manager continued to tug on her leg, Henderson said she used her other leg to kick her in the stomach and the face, busting open the other woman’s lip. After the kicks, Henderson said more women swarmed out of the nail salon, some of whom tried to help drag her out, too. A man with them was eventually able to yank her out of the truck and onto the ground, Henderson said. Henderson said she scared them off by bringing out her phone – all except the manager who Henderson said grabbed her necklace.

“And that’s when she tells me, ‘I’m going to yank this off if you don’t pay me,'” Henderson said. Soon after, Henderson said her husband, with whom she had been Facetiming, and police arrived at the salon. When KSAT went to Luminous Nails and Spa on Sunday, the same manager refused to say much about her side of events.

“Anybody can talk anything if they wanted to. So I don’t have anything to say,” the woman said. Henderson also gave KSAT screenshots of a Facebook comment from a user, whom Henderson says was one of the salon employees involved.

Dads, you love and hate them at the same time. You never know how you feel about them but somehow amongst the weirdness inside of them, they can get more annoying every day. Don’t take this as a dad bashing, all dads are amazing and heartwarming, but there are some who are put in a particular category of embarrassment. We have all had or have seen the embarrassing dad, and there isn’t just one. There are many, and it’s like they are in a cult to embarrass all of our pre-adult lives. Here are our top five dad stereotypes we still roll our eyes at no matter what.


Triathlon Dad

The dad who thinks they are superman. Nothing can stop them from achieving one of the hardest races in the world. They will show off their fancy bikes to your friends, train for about an hour, then go and grab a donut for a good day’s work. They will only talk about the triathlon and nothing else. If you had a good day at school, they would change the subject back to their day of training for the triathlon. When the day of the triathlon comes around, there will be two results. One, they will finish dead last or not finish at all. Or two, they will purposely skip the triathlon and pretend they forgot.


DIY Dad

The do it yourself dad who never calls for help. Plumbers and electricians are the villains of DIY dads. No job is too hard for them to perform. Whether it’s changing a light bulb or trying to get rid of the bee’s nest outside. They will make sure the job get’s done no matter how many times they are rushed to the hospital. These dads are found with a pen behind their ear planning their next big project. Probably a tree house or finding a way to fit a trampoline in the living room. If you are ever in need of this dad, more than likely you can call them, and they will be there in less than four to six hours, no charge.


The Coach Dad

If you woke up to an alarm of your father yelling for you to get downstairs to run sprints, you had the coach dad. You have to succeed, or you are nothing to this father. They would scold you after a game even if you did a good job. They will not take no for an answer with college coaches. If their child isn’t the best at something, it will be their goal to make them the best no matter how dead they feel. Don’t worry they aren’t trying to kill you, and they want what’s best for you and they want free tuition.


The Mothering Dad

This is the dad who acts like a mom. He is always making sure you have a jacket if you get cold, will lather you with sunscreen, and will pitch a fit if you do not come home at a reasonable hour. And yes, these dads do have their periods. Not all the dirty stuff but the emotions. Be careful when your mom and dad link up, it’s like watching a volcano of mixed feelings explode at one time.


The No Rules Dad

These dads don’t give a f**k about anything. They love you, that’s not the issue. But, these are the dads who wouldn’t mind if their child played with pythons. Wearing helmets are overrated, what are life jackets? Rub some dirt on it, and if it’s swollen it means it’s healing, these are the sayings of the no rule dad. They are also known for there most famous saying, “go ask your mom.”
