My day off...

Today is an off day in the training schedule, so I thought that I would finish a blog that I started last summer: The Top 6 Reasons Why I Hate Auburn Summer.
I'm going to repost the 1st blog in case anyone missed it, and add to it on my off days.
Seeing as how Camp War Eagle just started, I also thought it was appropriate to repost that particular blog as a reminder to Auburn's incoming Freshman class.

The Top Six Reasons Why I Hate Auburn Summers

1. Camp War Eagle
2. Cheer Camps
3. TV
4. No Football
5. Heat
6. Class

Reason 1: Camp War Eagle

Dear Freshmen,
Here is a list for you!

Five Surefire Ways to Make Upperclassmen Hate You

1. Dress up for class everyday.
Sure, a cute outfit every once in a while is appreciated. But no one wants to see you with pounds of makeup on your face, your hair curled, and perfectly coordinated outfits topped off with four inch heels everyday. Don't be surprised if you ever hear the following question: "Are you a model? Then why are you dressed up for class?" So go stock up on soffee or nike shorts and tee-shirts now-you're going to need them.

2. Never move out of the way when someone is moving in your direction.
If you continue to stand there like a deer in headlights, you WILL be run over. I know this not only because I was run over a few times as a freshman, but also because I have knocked a few out of my way on the way to class. Auburn is kind of like New York in that way-you just learn to move out of the way or you WILL get hit. So the moral of this story is: MOVE. Not only will you keep yourself and belongings intact, but you will also learn your way around campus faster.

3. Talk loudly on your cell-phone loudly on the 4th floor of the library.
Did you not learn how to read in high school? There are signs all over the 4th floor that say "Quiet Study." This in no way translates to "Loud, raucous, screaming at your boyfriend on your phone study." It means what it says. So shut up!

4.Talk loudly with your friends about how fat you are while nibbling on your salad or working out.
Yes, we all know you are thin. We also know we are not. But no worries. We will be the first to make fun of you when you blow up like a blimp by sophomore year.

5. Go to skybar underage and be the super annoying drunk girls who fall over on EVERYONE because you are too drunk to stand up in your four inch heels.
I PROMISE you do not look cool. So either dont drink underage (that would be my pick) or learn how to handle your liquor. Because no one WANTS to beat up the drunk chick who tries to fight YOU after SHE stepped on YOUR feet with her stupid super skinny heels, but somehow, it always happens.

So Freshmen, take this advice and you will be well on your way to being the most annoying freshman in Auburn!


Reason 2: Cheer Camps

Much in the same grain as the freshman, cheerleaders seem to make it their life's work to annoy those around them. I say this with love since I too once attended dance camp here at Auburn. But I have to think...we weren't this annoying, were we?
So here are the reasons why the uber peppy make my summers worse.

1. They are loud. ALL THE TIME.
Nothing makes 8am classes worse than walking to them with a herd of overly energetic cheerleaders. Not only am I still asleep, but I probably have a headache from being woken up so early. I try to put up with it by turning on my iPod, but if I can hear you over the music, you are TOO LOUD. I don't care if you are vying for the world's greatest cheerleading squad or the spirit stick or baton or whatever. I dont want to hear you over my music so early in the morning. So please be quiet!

2. Much like the Freshman, cheerleaders seem to find themselves incapable of moving out of the way, especially while on crosswalks. My friends and I (many of them theatre majors, as the cheerleaders camp out in the dorms by our second home) like to make up a game about who can hit the most. Ok not really, but I'm sure we've all thought about it. I have, however, "accidentally" knocked a few out of my way a time or two. When they protest I keep on walking...maybe that'll teach them to move out of the way. Or not. But hey, a girl can dream!

3. I don't really have a number three but I felt I needed one. They aren't all bad. Sure they're loud and annoying first thing in the morning, but I still get a little thrill out of watching their (sometimes) amazing gymnastic abilities!
