Day 59: A Game to Remember

      Good morning Gamecocks and fellow readers! Hopefully you are doing well on this rainy Louisiana day. It has been raining almost nonstop for the past couple of the days. One thing I have learned about Louisiana is that it is very prone to flooding should enough rain fall. For students, this means that getting across campus becomes quite the puzzle. Should you visit Louisiana, always carry an umbrella on you and be prepared to leap across some puzzles.

     Rainy weather aside, last week was a pretty good one. The week saw to the normal routine of attending classes and making sure I studied hard enough for my test. However, we had the biggest the football season so far coming up on Saturday. Both LSU and Florida were undefeated so it meant that one of the two teams would finally be defeated. The game also received a lot of attention due to two more factors. Firstly, College Gameday was on campus in order to cover the game. Gameday is a show that goes to a different college every week in order to cover athletic games. One of my classes was next to the Gameday set up and the shouting was so loud you could hear it through the walls.

     Secondly, it was homecoming week here at LSU. Events were in full stride every single day and many alumni came back. Homecoming events included a silent disco, concert, parade, alligator cook off, and many more. Overall, everyone was pretty excited for this game to happen. Come gameday, campus was abuzz with people tailgating in any and every space that was open. The game itself was amazing. For a while, the game was closer than most of us would like, but LSU pulled through for the win in the end. 

      The week ahead is very exciting for us students because, starting tomorrow, fall break begins. I will be driving to Dallas, Texas to finally see what it is like. I'm excited for this new experience and take a breather from all my classes. Until next time!
