It's great to finally be a Florida Gator: One student's tale of her first game in The Swamp

I didn't think making the transition from watching my high school football team play under the Friday night lights to watching a college football team play on a Saturday night was going to be that big of a deal. I mean, they were both just football games, right?

Wrong. Oh my goodness, was I wrong.

I attended my first football game in The Swamp as a student last Saturday, and the whole day exceeded my expectations more than I could have ever imagined. The saying, "It's great to be a Florida Gator" could not have proven to be any more true.
