After Sunday’s amazing Super Bowl game, we can’t help but cry over the fact that football doesn’t resume until September. You’re not the only one if you experience the following symptoms!
1. Trying not to cry…
But actually crying a lot. The best thing to do during the first stage of football-mourning is let it all out. Accept the sadness that you feel.
2. Eating your feelings
Suddenly all the food in your dorm will feel like an answer to your sadness. To survive this stage, you must get rid of all the chips and dip you’d been saving for football-watching (by eating them, of course).
3. Re-watching the best plays of the season
And casually stalking all your favorite players. YouTube will quickly become your most visited webpage and Twitter will be your most popular app. During this phase, just be careful not to favorite any really old tweets.
4. Doing homework on Sundays
Instead of watching all the games available, you’ll actually do your homework and study for that upcoming test. This stage is probably the only helpful one. Embrace the new-found free time and enjoy the boost in grades.
5. Attempting to pick up a new sport
After one day of trying to follow a new sport, you’ll remember that nothing compares to football.
6. Acceptance
Eventually, you’ll accept that football season is over. The next few months will be a struggle, because the only football you’ll have is the occasional news from the offseason, but don’t worry. September is soon!
