Generals VS Bucks: A Close Call

The Generals verses Bucks football game on the 17th was a very intense and close call! The first quarter was heartracing, ending with our Generals down 6 to 8. A tying two point conversion was missed, but easily made up for in the second quarter. The Generals came back out strong and easily scored a successful touchdown from Brandon Blair (#23) and made a perfect two point conversion.

The Generals continued to play a tight game and by halftime  had a score of 35 to the Buck’s score of 16.  While suffering a setback halfway through the 3rd quarter when Tullos  threw a pick 6, our team was quickly able to turn back the tide; Tullos passing to Josh Villa (#89),  resulting in a touchdown and another perfect 2 point conversion.

After ending the 3rd quarter with the score: Generals 43, and Bucks at 30. the Generals had to fend off relentless comebacks from the Bucks. With 3:52 left in the game, Billy Coles( #12) scored a much needed touchdown, giving the Generals a seven point lead. The Bucks tried to rally but our team remained strong, answering back with an amazing interception and won the game with a score of 49 to 42. What a crazy game!

Ole Miss Vs Memphis

The likelihood of Ole Miss reaching the Playoffs this year most likely ended Saturday, as they lost to Memphis 37-24. Ole Miss held a 14-7 lead up until Robert Nkemdiche, defensive end for Ole Miss, was literally knocked out while running the ball on offense. One Nkemdiche was taken off the field, Memphis turned the tide with 24 unanswered points, including scores on four consecutive possessions. The Tigers’ quarterback, Paxten Lynch, got the offense fired up. With no running game to aid, the Junior finished the game with 384 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Who are you rooting for? Comment your favorite team below!

Autumn Memories

I’ve always loved fall. I can remember when I was a kid, my favorite thing to do was spending time with my grandmother. We would rake all the leaves on her yard into a big pile, then sit on them and eat Oreos. When I got a little older, my mom would take me to the Harvest Festival where they sold all kinds of crafts. I would kick my way through piles and piles of leaves, covering my shoes in mud, just to get there each year. More time passed and fall meant carving pumpkins. I would pick out the most deformed pumpkin and give it a home. At age 18, my main fall priority is to consume as many pumpkin spice products as possible. Fall has always been my favorite season and it has given me many great memories. What are your best memories? Comment below!

The Benefits of PC Gaming Over Console Gaming

There is an ongoing debate in the gaming community if console gaming is better than PC. Well, I have come to the conclusion that PC is a superior platform…here’s why.

1. On a console, you are limited to the hardware that the manufacturer has used, while, on a PC, you can decide what processor, graphics, and everything else you can think of, based on what you need. If you want a top of the line gaming experience, you can have it

2. PC outperforms consoles in almost every aspect. Yes, it is true that for the same price of getting an Xbox One, you can build an even better PC. I would recommend building a $400 PC to outperform a console because the more money you spend on a PC, the better the experience.

3. More games are available for the PC than for consoles. Almost every “triple A” title for consoles is available on PC, excluding games such as Halo and Destiny. You can buy indie games from unknown developers on PC such as, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Speed Runners. If you want a wilder library of games to choose from, PC is for you!

Overall, this comes down to a matter of opinion and what kind of experience you want to have. If your friends play on Xbox, get an Xbox because nothing is better than playing games with your friends; however, if you can wait and save up money, get a PC. You won’t regret it. What do you think?

The Sad End to a Great Season

As this year’s volleyball season comes to an end, there is a mix of emotions from the players. Some people, like me, are sad to see the season end but are looking forward to the new team next year. Other players have been done with the season for the past 2 weeks and are barely pushing on in these last few games. Though the team has not had that great of a season as far as wins are concerned, we grew stronger as a team and, more importantly, grew closer as a family. Yes, we have our differences, and yes, we argue…a lot…but I know these girls will always have my back. Overall, this season has been a learning opportunity for all of us and a great experience for the whole team. What team do you consider your family? Comment below or tag us on social media!

G.I. Jane

The toughest military force in the world is now allowing women. Now for the sexist men out there who say that women aren't cut out for special forces, you should probably swallow those opinions back down and choke on them. There are many women who are more physically and mentally fit than the thousands of buds (Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL Training) washouts. BUDS is the hardest military pipeline in the world. Star athletes in college have washed out because they didn't have the mental capacity to fight through pain and discomfort.

Admiral Jon Greenert stated that if women can pass BUDS they should be allowed to serve as a SEAL. I agree with this statement 100%. If a woman can out do 80+ men to get into the SEALs then they are a part of an elite one percent of human beings in the world who can push their bodies past their limits. I don't want to hear anyone say women can't make it through the training in which they have never been afforded the opportunity to do so. What do you think? Comment below

Autumn 2015 Makeup Trends

Fall is here, and with it, the opportunity to change up your makeup routine! This year, the focus seems to be going all out on brows or lips, and keeping everything else simple to focus on certain features. Let’s get started with the newest trend…

Strobing/Hilighting

Strobing (or highlighting), is a method developed by drag queens to help highlight and accentuate features of the face without all the trouble of contouring.  

So instead of looking like this, aka, a hot countouring mess,

No, seriously, it’s like real-life photoshop. This junk works wonders.

Bold Brows

Yes, I am perfectly aware that bold brows have been a staple all year, but the trend is being re-vamped as it’s getting colder and we don’t feel like doing anything but concealer and eyebrows.

Bold brow queen Cara Delevingne has mastered this look and is great inspiration if you’re looking to try this out for yourself.

Of course, you’re eyebrows don’t have to be as bold as Cara’s, or Lilly Collin’s, but if you really want to switch up your look for fall, go ahead and start off smaller. Not everyone can handle the Bold Brow.

I’m still not entirely sure what “fleek” means but I’m pretty sure this is it (bonus points for those Minnie Mouse buns).

Need help? There’s plenty of beauty vloggers that explain it in a pretty good way, but keep in mind that everyone has different shaped eyebrows, so you might be better off asking a professional (or that girl in your class who’s been wearing makeup since sixth grade) which shape works best for your unique face, you special snowflake.

Brown and Plum Matte Lipsticks

Woo hoo! Lipsticks! Lipsticks are my fave, and it’s that special time of year again where super pale girls like me can wear dark colors without looking like a 2005 emo band member!  I personally like wearing bolder colors like these all year ‘round and I’m completely used to plumbs and almost black reds, but I totally get that not everyone is comfortable doing that, so here’s some matte browns to help you ease your way in.

        

MAC is a pretty expensive brand, so I’m linking a few of my favorite cheaper drugstore brand lipsticks as well, in case you don’t feel like shelling out ten (or more!) bucks for a tube; but if you do, then more power to you, and you should  take me makeup shopping sometimes.

Once you feel comfortable with those, then you can move on to the dark stuff like these little beauties.

I mean seriously, look at these!

Have you ever seen something so beautiful? I might ugly cry.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy, when skies are grey

I need a moment...

Ahem, sorry about that, but anyway, I hope you saw a few things that will inspire you this makeup season! Now, if you excuse me, I have to go spend all of my money on makeup I’ll wear once, and then let  melt in my pocket, and then I will be sad, and poor. But alas, such is the lift of a makeup enthusiast. Anyways, let us now if you've tried any of these looks by tagging us on instagram or twitter so we can comment heart eyes and those little 100 emojis. Good luck!
