10 Tips for Surviving Finals Week Pinterest Interest Pinterest

on a given task. Set a specific day and time period for each item on your list to prevent the urge to procrastinate.
Alas, finals week is nearing. How is it that this week comes the same time every year yet still manages to sneak up on us unsuspecting students? I mean, wasn’t syllabus day just last week? The truth is whether we like it or not, finals week is upon us, which means the majority of us are bogged down by final papers, projects and exams. Luckily, Pinterest has a plethora of pins dedicated to providing students with great finals week tips. Here are ten of those tips that can help you survive this week:
2. Prioritize
Start your week by making a list of what you need to do. Make sure you’re checking your class schedules and syllabi to see that there isn’t an assignment that you’ve put off or forgotten and to see that your professor hasn’t made any schedule changes. Use your list to plan when and for how long you’re going to work
4. Take study breaks
1. Divide and conquer
Decide what on your list needs to be done right away. This can be based on due date or by how long the given task will take. What I like to do is write down everything I have to do and then number each one by when it’s due.
3. Set goals
Set goals for what you want to get done and when you want to get it done. Make sure your goals are manageable but will challenge you to get your tasks completed in a reasonable amount of time. After you’ve reached those goals, be sure to take a study break. The length of your break might depend on how long you’ve been working; maybe take a short nap, go meet up with a friend for coffee or just scroll through your Twitter feed for ten minutes.
5. Mix up study environments
If working in your room isn’t working for you anymore, try some new places around campus or the Fargo area. There are a ton of quiet work spaces in the Union and Library and a variety of different study spaces for group and individual work at ACE Tutoring. Of course, you could always work at a coffee shop or cafe nearby — TeaBerry in downtown Fargo is a personal favorite of mine.
6. Have healthy snacks, drinks on hand
I don’t know about you, but I have the awful habit of snacking while I work. It’s not a great feeling to finish a paper and to also realize that you’ve finished a bag of potato chips, too. To prevent the munchie guilt, make sure you have some healthy snacks and water on hand as you work.
7. Review thoroughly
To do well on your exams, make sure you aren’t just skimming your notes — read through them thoroughly and maybe even make some notes as you go. Also,
take advantage of any old tests, quizzes and assignments.
8. Make use of professors, peers, tutors As you read through your class materials, make sure you understand everything. If you do not, contact a professor, classmate or tutor that can help talk you through it. Fully understanding the material is going to help you remember it.
9. Eliminate distractions
If Netflix, online shopping or social media sites are too tempting for you, limit your cell phone and Internet access while studying. You can use those outlets as rewards when you’ve completed a given task. This way, they can be motivating rather than distracting.
10. Sleep
Though preparing for finals week can be stressful and may keep you up at night, be sure to get a good amount of sleep. You would be surprised at how much more productive you can be when you are well rested.
Spec Picks: Best Studying Song(s) for Dead, Finals Week The Spectrum staff’s favorite singles, soundtracks for late-night cramming sessions Spectrum Staff

The junk food spread is set strategically among the laptop and notes. The baggy sweatpants are only on because society and the library has too strict of dress codes. And the headphones are plugged in. Below, eight Spectrum staff members share their favorite song or compilation of songs they listen to when writing essays and studying for finals. Meghan Pegel, Opinion Editor. “Intro” by The xx. I admire the people who can concentrate with loud noises and roaring voices in the background. As for me, and my tendency to be distracted at a drop of
a hat, I will stick to this indie genre with mellow instruments and minimum vocals. There’s a four-hour edit of this song you can find on YouTube. Look it up! It will change your life. Jack Dura, Head News Editor. The main title song from “The Notebook” soundtrack composed by Aaron Zigman. This instrumental is mainly soft sounds from a piano, but it’s peaceful and placid, conducive for studying alone at anytime of day. Kelsey Dirks, Features Editor. “Go Do” by Jónsi. Any songs by Jónsi are good for studying because they are mostly in Icelandic. I like songs with no lyrics or foreign lyrics when I study because then I am not tempted to sing along. If you
like Jónsi’s songs, check out Sigur Rós. The lead singers are the same. I imagine Jónsi’s falsetto singing welcoming me at the gates of heaven, and if I perish whilst studying this week, at least it will be to beautiful music.
Benjamin Norman, Head Copy Editor.
“Interstellar” soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer. These songs will keep you going through the wee hours of dead/ finals week. Instrumental and thematic in its nature, Zimmer’s soundtrack will keep your mind sharp and heart beating. Listen through the entire album in order to experience the most awesome of adventures. Favorite track: “Detach.” playlist | page 3

Trust me, I’m a professional multitasker. Read my twitter bio; it says so there, too. And everything on Twitter is real — or so they tell me. I’m also a sports fan and a devout student that crams for finals. Here are my top three solutions of how to do both at the same time.
1. Twitter breaks
The most effective way to study, I think, is to go hard on one subject for a short period of time (like 30 minutes), then take a shorter break (like 10 minutes), then switch subjects. The brain responds and can remember better when you aren’t just staring at your organic chemistry notes for two and a half hours. Therefore, during breaks, go on twitter. The @NDSUathletics twitter page stays refreshingly current, and it will give you the important information you need in fewer than 140 characters. If you’re looking for something more specific, follow @NDSUmbb and @NDSUwbb for men’s and women’s basketball updates, respectively. These will be especially helpful if you’re missing live games. All North Dakota State athletic teams have up-to-

date accounts. But don’t abuse it — take a break for 10 minutes and then go back to studying.
2. Live streaming in separate tabs
For those of you who don’t have time for breaks, I would utilize the livegame streaming on your computer or iPad. My roommate watches Grey’s Anatomy on her iPad while she works on her homework on her computer. You might not own an iPad, but the live game will still play if you’re working in a different tab on your browser or if you’re working in Word on that paper. Typically, you have to log in to live stream, so be sure to have a friend with a username and password.
3. Radio
You might not know it, but almost all local Bison sporting events are broadcasted over the radio. You can go to a radio’s website and often “listen live.” Go to kndsradio.com (or KNDS 96.3 FM, for those who have an actual radio) is a hidden gem in this sense. It’s run by students avoiding their studying by broadcasting the game right to you. Utilize this free system. Good luck studying, and remember to take breaks to support the Bison.

TAKE A YOGA BREAK | stress, tension
5 easy moves to release
1. extended Child’s Pose
2. Legs-up-the-wall
4. Downward Facing DOg FEATURE
Linda Norland Spectrum Staff
Created over 5,000 years ago in Northern India according to yogabasics. com, yoga marries strength, balance and mindfulness of the body. This means that it benefits not only your bod, but your brain as well, making it the perfect active study break after you’ve been sitting for hours. Best of all, the poses below can be performed by a beginner with no experience. Those interested in a longer session should check out the classes at the Wallman Wellness Center, as well as the many ones

offered around town. If you prefer to practice alone, Yoga With Adriene is a great YouTube channel with tons of free lessons — it’s where I got my start! Below are my top five poses to combat dead/finals week stress.
Extended Child’s Pose
A modification of regular Child’s Pose, this move is great for stretching out tired, tense shoulders. To get into this position, come to your hands and knees on the floor. Spread your knees as wide as the yoga mat, or a little wider than your hips if you do not have one. Then slowly come back onto your lower legs while stretching your arms out, palms to the earth.
get hyped to and to dance in your seat while also focusing your brain on a certain topic to study on. Also, the message of the song is a good one, because the best of us can find happiness in (the) misery (of studying).
Madison Hilber, Co-Copy Editor. “Elsie” by Nickel
Rest your forehead on the floor and hold the pose for five breaths.
Legs-Up-the-Wall
There is no excuse for this move — you can literally do it lying on your bed. Simply scoot your booty up to the wall while lying down and stretch your legs up. Try to straighten them out, but don’t force the stretch. Spread your arms wide to either side and feel the blood run down your legs. This popular move is said to help move blood and lymph drainage back to the heart. Hold this for five to ten deep breaths.
Cat-Cow
These two poses are great for the back and spine, especially when coupled.
Creek. It is an instrumental, so it does not have any lyrics to distract you from what you are studying. Plus, if you decide that you like it, you can keep it at a low volume in the background and let it run on repeat while you study for all of your exams.

3. Cat/Cow
5. Standing forward bend Come to your hands and knees, starting with a straight back. To move into cat, arch your back and move your head towards the floor, while trying to keep your neck long. Breath out as you do this to get your blood flowing. Then come to Cow by slowly reversing the posture, so that your head reaches towards the sky and your back makes a concave curve. Breath in, and repeat this sequence five times.
Downward Facing Dog
This is the classic yoga move and an essential part of the Sun Salution flow. It has many purported benefits, including mood improvement, energy increase and fatigue relief,
according to yogajournal. com. At any rate, it is excellent for stretching arms and legs, as well as a great gentle strength move. To do it, come to a plank position, with your arms extended so your palms are supporting your weight. Then lift your booty up toward the sky and your chest gently downward so you get a great stretch in the shoulders. Pedal your feet for added stretching. Hold for five breaths.
Standing Forward Bend to Mountain Pose
Part of the Sun Salution, a yoga sequence used to get the blood flowing early in the morning (or whenever, really), these two poses form the perfect break from
Managing Editor. “Test
Drive” by John Powell. When I study, I need my music to be both epic and wordless. All the feels, but none of the singing because it is hard to concentrate on reading while belting out lyrics. One of my friends and I have a long-running

sitting. By transitioning between touching your toes and standing up straight, it really gets the blood flowing and builds heat in your core. To start, stand with your feet together and reach down towards your toes. If you cannot touch them, that is totally fine! Keep your knees loose, avoiding locking them. Then rise up slowly, curling your spine. Keep your arms loose by your sides as you come to the top to stand straight with your head stretched towards the sky. Rotate your shoulders if it feels good. Do this three to five times, breathing out as you go down and in as you head back up again.
don’t listen to music when I study. I get distracted when jamming out and studying because I end up tapping the pencil against the desk or bouncing my feet up and down to the beat. I love music; I just don’t like it listening to it when I’m trying to bring my grades up.

Cold Dead Week Livened with ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ Theatre NDSU gets frisky in latest production PLAY REVIEW
Free $ for students $$
TICKET INFO
Sim), Gooper’s venomous, pregnant wife. The whole show seems like a scrapped episode of “Desperate Housewives” and its actors manage to pull off something that could all too easily be compared to its ‘50s film predecessor. While their accents falter at times, particularly during shouting matches (cover your ears), these students breathe some new life into an old story. Koenig takes up the drunken bumbling and stumbling of his character quite well, and delivers some of the best lines of the show. His Southern accent is also arguably the best of the cast. Then there’s Olson as the dirty old man who hates his whole family except for Brick. No one lives forever, but Big Daddy can’t accept that or his terminal cancer diagnosis. In fairness to him, nobody likes being told on their birthday that they’ll never see another. Finally, Sim is a standout as the sweetthen-sour expectant mother with nothing good to say about her childless sister-in-law. With 80 seats on all four sides of the stage, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is nothing like Theatre NDSU’s performances for Festival Concert Hall’s 1,000 seats. This play is just as intimate as it is intense.
TICKET INFO
In the end-of-semester rush, a delightful distraction like a play can be a warm welcome. Theatre NDSU’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” wraps the second half of its run this Thursday through Saturday, offering free performances to students to see a show best associated with the late actress Elizabeth Taylor, who starred in the film produced in the late 1950s. “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is small in its setting but big in its story. Six actors playing six members of a dysfunctional Southern family rotting at its roots as its patriarch faces mortality, his son spirals into alcoholism and Maggie, the titular cat, yearns for her first child. Portraying Maggie, Taylor Fay has her hands full in the first act, showing her passionate character’s wide range of emotions while keeping her Southern accent in check. Her husband Brick, played by Austin Koenig, stumps constantly across the stage on his crutch to the liquor cabinet, ignoring most of what his wife has to say. The two’s marriage has seen better days, as the former sports star faces the gone glory of the old days while his bodacious wife has to beg and plead for any shred of a sex life. Around these two swirl the other members of this broken family: Big Daddy (Sam Olson), a wealthy plantation owner stricken with terminal cancer and a year left to live; Big Mama (Maddie Sharpe, in a perfect role), his underappreciated wife; Gooper (James Fornes), Brick’s even more underappreciated brother and Mae (Kami

Students Utilize Dead Week to Maximize Procrastination
Lack of tests leads to many hobbies
SATIRE
Jon Lipp
Staff Writer
Dear readers, As you all know, the infamous Dead Week is upon us. As the tweets about failing GPAs are paired with hilarious GIF’s mount, one might expect the North Dakota State student body to buckle down and begin preparing for finals. Instead, however, my one-man investigation into the looming horror of exams revealed a disturbing truth: literally no one is going to use Dead Week to study for something next week. Although I initially assumed all students would take advantage of this hard-won lull in coursework to better ready themselves for their finals, it appears that this is largely
“The fact that I have no tests or quizzes to study for gives me so much more time to binge Netflix.” – Senior in Business Administration wishful thinking. The two students I spoke with, who are clearly indicative of the entirety of NDSU, shed some light on the issue. “Dead Week is the best!” exclaimed one 6’3” senior majoring in business administration. “The fact that I have no tests or quizzes to study for gives me so much more time to binge Netflix. I find that obsessing over the conflicts of fictional characters really helps me hide from my own responsibilities and problems. And realistically, nothing will drag me out of this defense mechanism except last-minute panic.”
Somewhat shaken by this response, I also interviewed an agricultural communications major from Wishek, North Dakota: the Cradle of Civilization. “I like to take full advantage of Dead Week by going to bed really early,” he cheerily explained. “Of course, by ‘going to bed’ I mean lying awake and scrolling through social media far later than I would stay up normally. This teaches me much more than the narrow scope of my courses, and helps me become a better citizen of this fine republic.” I also attempted to interview both a
mathematics and engineering major, but despite my dangling of energy drinks and cheesy snack foods, I was unable to lure them from their study dens. Although it is tempting to blame such behavior on Dead Week, the mounds of tear-soaked homework assignments indicated this behavior had been going on for some time. So there you have it folks. As far as I can tell, no one uses Dead Week to study any more than they already do. Many students do seem, however, to utilize the expanded free time to engage in even more escapist activities than usual. While I do hope this gambit pays off for them, it might be better to just sleep the week away. Sarcastically Yours, Papa Jon

What I Learned at NDSU. No Textbook Needed. 3 pointers from a disorderly graduate
OPINION
Meghan Pegel Opinion Editor
Some things in college simply aren’t taught or emphasized enough in the classrooms. To boil my collegiate career down to main takeaways is a daunting task, but I’ve come up with my three pointer from North Dakota State that would help any student at any age pursing any degree. I suppose you can think of it as College Student 101, a highly intensive course free of charge. You’re welcome. My advice is as follows:
1. Work hard. Play hard.
Higher education is a pretty big deal, and you should treat is as such in keeping up with your studies, taking
notes on reading assignments and blah blah blah. But let’s not lose sight of our human need for socializing (AKA: fun!). College success is important, but between paper assignments and online blogs and buying professors apples, breaks are important too. Maybe your ideal break is Netflix with your introverted pals Ben and Jerry or a mug night with your party friends Bud and Miller. Regardless, it’s important for your sanity to take time out of the chaotic phase in life we call college to do what you love. That being said, you better be able to wake up in the morning and focus just as much attention on getting your work done.
2. Travel by yourself. Anywhere. Just go.
As dramatically morbid as it seems, the reality is that life as we know it can change in an instant. Studying abroad in South Korea for a semester was the best decision I have made and probably will ever make in my life (no offense future husband). It was so humbling to see the world from a different perspective, both literally and figuratively, and it’s amazing how much personal growth you are free to experience isolated in a foreign environment. Whether it’s forfeiting an evening to drive to the other side of town to check out a new coffee shop or committing to a two-year sabbatical on the other side of the world, do it. You won’t regret it.
3. Don’t become the stereotypically angry, stressed college kid. After
about 2 consecutive days of no communication, my mother usually calls or texts to check up on me, almost inevitably catching me at a bad time (but really are there any “good” times?) in which I quickly answer the phone, give her one word answers and hastily conclude with an abrupt, “K mom, gotta go. I’ll catch ya later, bye.” Click. Moms understand, of course, but do not make hasty, unfulfilling conversations a habit. How amazing is it that someone
truly cares about you and your wellbeing? How disappointing it is that you can’t take two minutes of your day to reciprocate the love and respect. On top of this, there will be days that every little first-world problem bands together and try to make you a crazy person (Like why do automatic toilets flush before I have a chance to wipe? It’s not supposed to be double-spaced? Is my roommate really having a party right now?). We must keep in mind that these are in fact minuscule problems, and we need to make like T-Swift and shake it off. To help counteract this “college busy, I’m too stressed” illusion, think about a conversation with someone you care for as potentially the last one. What if an argument with a
good friend ended up being the last thing you say to one another? As dramatically morbid as it seems, the reality is that life as we know it can change in an instant. Make amends immediately if you feel it’s needed, and gain a peace of mind. Now go call your mother and tell her you love her. Surely a disclaimer is not needed but just to be clear, I am not an expert at being a college student. In fact I’m far from it. This advice comes from the mistakes and regrets I’ve had in the past during my time at NDSU. Now that I’m finally graduating, I give this advice to those of you who still have semesters left to undertake. Do with it what you will, and I will see you on the other side, my friends.

NDSU bean breeder earns high achievement award
Juan Osorno, NDSU dry edible bean breeder and associate professor of plant science, has been honored with the Bean Improvement Cooperative’s Distinguished Achievement Award during the group’s biennial meeting early last month in Niagara Falls, Ontario, the university reported. To win the award, one must be a scientist who has worked on bean improvement fewer than 15 years and outstanding scientific accomplishments relating to bean education. Osorno received his master’s degree at the University of Puerto Rico followed by his doctorate at NDSU. The objective of the dry bean breeding program is to develop high yielding, high quality bean genotypes adapted to the Northern Great Plains. Osorno has developed and released many scientific articles on plant breeding and the development of molecular markers in breeding programs. In addition, Osorno teaches genetics and has been the major adviser for 10 graduates, numerous undergraduates and many interns at NDSU.

Color the Bison. Be the Bison.
You are Bison.
Study Playlist | MUSIC
Tessa Beck A&E Editor
Few things can drive a study session more directly than the right music. Although tastes differ greatly between styles and genres in regards to academic productivity, hence the staff playlist. Below is a two-part breakdown of how I personally approach sound choices through my interest in electronic music.
Pt. I: Extended Sets, Playlists, Albums COSstores Souncloud
playlists, particularly “Autumn Sounds 2015�
COS is a delicious street minimalist brand based in Sweden. Besides the smart design choices, the store has a phenomenal SoundCloud account worth exploring for study purposes or otherwise.
Magda, “She’s a Dancing Machine (Full Continuous Mix)�
My quintessential female DJ, who has drawn comparisons to powerhouses in minimal house techno such as Richie Hawtin and M_nus. She is based in Berlin, but has
heavy affection for Detroit. This 78 minute mix can drive a non-fussy study session, while also serving as a foundation for a dance party, as evidenced in the title.
Boiler Room: Bonobo, Ellen Allien
Boiler Room is an online source for live DJ sets from all over the world. A camera is set up at the DJ booth, guests dance and the rest of the sorry non-participants can watch from home. The site and YouTube channel have endless recordings, but Bonobo’s London set and Ellen Allien’s Berlin show are
Options to revamp the study experience
amongst my favorites. Pro tip: use your internet skills to locate track lists and make Spotify playlists of your findings, it will be a forever go-to.
Albums
Albums are foolproof study option if the constancy of sets aren’t to your liking. There are many that fit into a study environment, but all-time favorites are Real Estate’s “Atlas,� Grouper’s “Ruins� and Aphex Twin’s “Syro.� The approach taken toward individual track study playlists mimics my taste in long-form electronic sets and songs, in that
there is underlying activity masked by a layer of consistency in the music.
Pt. II: Individual Tracks • • • • • • • • • • •
Union, Deptford Goth Montana, Tycho Hanging On, Active Child slands, The xx Cirrus, Bonobo Miss You (Original Mix), Trentemøller Can’t Do Without You, Caribou SeeSaw, Jamie xx Breathe This Air, Jon Hopkins Moan (Trentemøller Dub Remix), Trentemøller Eyes Be Closed,
Washed Out Loud Places, Jamie xx New Theory, Washed Out • Digital Arpeggios, Percussions • Okinawa Channels, NZCA LINES • Mirror Maru, Cashmere Cat • Da Feelin, Nightmares on Wax • Weekend, Class Actress This playlist in particular begins light, then transitions into slightly heavier electronic pieces. The final few choices are lighter, more jovial and represent the end of a study session, and hopefully successful semester. • •
Top 5 Twitter ‘HaHa’ Moments Throughout Fall Semester Athletics at NDSU shine online SPORTS
Pace Maier Sports Ediotr
One day my friend asked me if I followed any North Dakota State studentathletes on Twitter. “Yeah a few,� I said. “Dude, you have to follow all of them,� she responded. “Well, I’m not a jerseychaser like you.� Whoops. She didn’t like that comment very much, but she has a point. Bison student-athletes and Bison athletics have had some likable (or favorite-worthy) tweets. Here is a list of five tweets
that will motivate you throughout the rest of dead and finals week. Dexter Werner @ Dexbeezy, “Justin Bieber is out here trying make me a Belieber (Face with Tears of Joy emoji, three fire emojis)�
What’s being said:
Bieber’s new album “Purpose� is so good that it’s climbing up Werner’s pre-game music list. The junior forward from Bismarck, N.D., is averaging 8.3 points per game, 6.1 rebounds per game and 1.1 blocks per game this season. Werner has 1,584 followers on Twitter, and his favorite Bieber song from the No.
1 album on Billboard 200 chart is most likely “Get Used To It� because that’s what he’s been saying to Bison opponents all year. Lucas Albers @ Albers_88, “AHHHHHGHHHHHHHSHXJFPVIDHWOXNXOWJFBCJFICJDJXODJSBWN!!!!!!�
What’s being said:
Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe it was a tweet about the Green Bay Packers or maybe it wasn’t. There’s six exclamation points being used here, and the caps lock is on. That’s all I can garner from this; I think the senior tight end has some explaining to do. Katelyn Weimerskirch @KatelynRoseee, “Never
eat a pound of grapes in one sitting, it will mess you up� What’s being said: Even though grapes are healthy, Weimerskirch is suggesting that eating a whole pound of them isn’t what you should do. The junior thrower on the women’s track and field team may be suggesting that throwing a pound of grapes is better then eating a pound of grapes. Wow, that was bad. Sorry. Ben Schultz @ Goose_1986_, “Can the printing money on our Bison Cards be transferred over to our debit cards? Asking for a friend.� What’s being said: It’s a tough time of the semester
ÂŞ 4(ÂŞ!6% ÂŞ3 ÂŞsÂŞ&!2'/ÂŞsÂŞ ÂŞ% ÂŞ"%!4/.ÂŞ$2ÂŞsÂŞ7%34ÂŞ&!2'/ÂŞsÂŞ ÂŞ 4(ÂŞ34 ÂŞ3ÂŞsÂŞ-//2(%!$ÂŞsÂŞ FREE SUPERVISED PLAYROOM & FREE WIFI!

PER WEEK IN DEC!
right now for all of us. Non-student athletes are spending their money on energy drinks and candy to help them pull an allnighter for finals next week. Student-machines like Schultz, a middle distance runner for the men’s track and field team, are spending their money on muscle milk and pounds of grapes to help them stay awake at the library. Sorry, Ben, but that printing money can only be used for printing off notes and online issues of this article to show your loved ones. And finally ... @ NDSUathletics “What
can we say... It’s going down for real! #Hornsup #DecemberHarvest�
What’s being said:
Ouch. NDSU athletics quote-tweeted the Bison uniform choice Saturday. This breaking news couldn’t be broken through another way? Couldn’t the 50-yearold man behind NDSU athletics Twitter account using his old smoking Gateway computer come up with a better tweet? “It’s going down for real!� ... like really? A Flo Rida lyric? The only thing going down for real is NDSU athletics’ followers, except not really: the account has over 30,000 followers.

Top 10 Sports Movies for Your Study Breaks Take a break, relax for a night and enjoy one of these flicks SPORTS
Karson Sorby Staff Writer
Though finals are important, we all know how stressful this time can be. Next time you need a study break, choose from this list of varying sports titles to temporarily take your mind off of your busy schedule. 10) To kick off the list, a classic: “Slapshot.” Even if you haven’t seen the movie, it is likely that you’ve seen an image or Halloween costume of The Hanson Brothers. While this movie isn’t as much about the game as others, these three goons are sure to provide some laughs and entertainment.
9) Next up is a movie
that inspired an even more popular TV show. The movie “Friday Night Lights” is based on a book about a high school football team in a small Texas town. In a community with nothing besides football, the team and their success is very important — until the star player is hurt before the playoffs. Winner of the Best Sports Movie ESPY Award, this is a must see. 8) Based on a true story, “Rudy” is another classic. The drama describes the journey of a true underdog who dreams of playing football at Notre Dame. After convincing the coach to let him walk on as a practice player, he
persistently shows up and is finally allowed to play in the final game of the season. If this movie doesn’t inspire you to go out and succeed, nothing will. 7) If you are in need of a dose of girl power, check out “Bend It Like Beckham,” a movie about an Indian girl who lives for the game of soccer but is forbidden to play because of her parents. 6) Another motivational movie, “McFarland” tells the story of a group of Hispanic boys in the small town of McFarland, California. When a new coach comes to their school, he brings together a group of misfits who eventually go on make it to the state
cross-country meet. 5) If in need a quick cry session, “The Blind Side” will not disappoint. This is an emotional story about Michael Oher, a homeless black teen who had always struggled with his schooling and personal life. After spending time with a caring family, they decide to become his legal guardians and help him to achieve his football dreams, eventually earning a spot on the Baltimore Ravens. 4) Enough of the tears. With the stress of preparing for finals, you may need a good laugh. Check out “Blades of Glory” — or any other sports movie starring Will Ferrell (including “Semi Pro,” “Kicking and
Screaming” or “Talladega Nights”) for some entertainment with a side of sports. 3) The Great Bambino. The Sultan of Swat. The Titan of Terror. The Colossus of Clout! If these names don’t immediately remind you of “The Sandlot,” you best drop what you’re doing and watch this movie. When Scotty Smalls moves to a new neighborhood, he befriends a group of pick-up baseball players and creates endless summer memories, learning about friendship, girls and, of course, The Great Bambino. 2) After a black football coach is hired over a white one in a Virginia high
school in the midst of the civil rights movement, the team comes together in order to support its coach and have a successful season. “Remember the Titans” tells a story of football players overcoming their differences in order to save their coach’s career and succeed as a team. 1) Finally, one of the most electrifying sports movies of all time. “Miracle” tells the story of a group of young college hockey players who come together to represent their country. Starting as the underdogs, they eventually come together to overcome their personal differences as well as the competition they thought they could never beat.
