Southern Miss vs. Louisiana Lafayette
Okay so let me start by saying that I am a huge sports fan, no matter the sport as long as I’m rooting for my team. Well last Saturday, August 30 was our first home game vs. Louisiana Lafayette. I was extremely excited like any other time for the whole entire week, I started preparing what I would wear, how I would wear my hair and who I would attend the game with. Friday night was our first pep rally for the season (FNATF); I had intentions of attending until I was asked to go to my high schools first home football game. I accepted the offer of course and I was extremely excited about visiting my high school for the first time. I went to the game and we, well they won 59-7(good game huh??). Still the game ended way too early so I still wanted to do something else so my friends and I decided we would go out somewhere to have some fun. We first we out to this pre-tailgating party at Club Palace. Once we arrived, we noticed no one was there but us. As mad as I was, I just decided to change locations and find somewhere else to go. My friend and I decided to go to the Hunt Club because we really wanted to dance. We arrived at the Hunt Club and there were a few more people there so we stayed, danced a little and just laughed at people until we got tired. When we left the club it was around 1:30 almost 2:00 so I was extremely tired. Once I got back to my dorm room, I instantly feel asleep. I slept until almost 3:00 the next day. Noticing the time, I jumped up and started preparing for the big game in less than 5 hours. I then noticed that I still didn't have an outfit and that I was supposed to go to Wal-mart before my high schools football game to get an outfit. I called my friend to see where she was since I don't have a car and I had no way. After being told that she was on her way, I put on clothes and headed down to meet her. Once she arrived she told me that she parked all the way by Shoney’s and that traffic was backed up and we couldn't get down the highway to get to Wal-mart. Angrily I put an outfit together and walked to the game. By the time I arrived it was 7:50, which means I would have absolutely no where to sit. My friends and I walked to the East side of the Rock all to be told that the students could only sit on the West side because that's the "Student Side". Once again upset, we walked tirelessly to the other side only to find that all the seats where taken and we would have to walk up the ramp or use the stairs to get to the second level (how inconvenient). We walked up the ramp and ended up sitting all the way at the very top closes to the hot sun. Still fun was on its way; we took pictures, cheered and overall had a great time. Suddenly the sky started to cloud up and we noticed it would soon be raining. We waited and watched the game a little longer until the raindrops started falling. Luckily we got to my friends dorm room to get an umbrella before we got too wet. I guess you can say that my first football game as a Southern Miss student was pretty much horrible but I’m sure they'll be better ones to come.
