Well, this weekend is Homecoming here in Ripon. This time of the year is typically pretty fun, lets just hope the weather cooperates!
Tomorrow morning before the football game, our baseball team is having an alumni game. I am really excited for this, because when I was an underclassman, the upperclassman were so much fun. And most of them are coming back! Itll be good to see all of them, and catch up on their lives. Its crazy to think they were seniors already a few years ago, and now I am!
After that, I am sure most of us will head down to the football game against Carroll. The game should be big, as both teams are the only two undefeated teams left in the Midwest Conference.
Other than that, I plan on watching a lot of football this weekend!

Quick week!
Well, this week has seemingly came and went incredible fast. And, honestly... thats how college has gone so far. TOO FAST.
Each individual day of the week goes by prettty slow, but the weeks go by soooooo fast. That was a good thing when I was an underclassman. But, now that I'm in my senior year, I dont want the weeks to go by as quick. I can remember everywhere about my freshman year... and that was three years ago already!
It makes you think about the future, and what it holds for you. I know I want to work in Sports Administration somewhere, but what position and where.. I have no idea. I do really want to go to graduate school to increase my chances of 1. finding a job and 2. being paid better for that job.
Its going to be weird. After high school, you had to adjust to a new surrounding, new people, basically a new life. Now, I've made friends that I will never forget, but I dont know if I'm ready to not see them as much after this year. I feel like I've finally settled in with the main crew I hang out with, and couldnt be much happier either.
I dont know, just wish time would stop going by so fast. I want to enjoy my last year as an undergrad!

Football Season.
Its that time of the year!! The NFL season began last night, and I couldnt be more excited. I am a huge college football and NFL fan. If there is a game on TV, I will watch it. Period. I love how the state of Wisconsin backs the Packers, and I love the history of that franchise. I have to think the Packers have a really good chance at being good this year, as long as they stay healthy. I have lived in Wisconsin for all 21 years of my life, and am sad to say, I have never been to a Packer game. Tickets are just too hard to come by usually! Although.. tickets to the Packer-Viking game on Sunday Night Football are in the works. Hopefully!
I'm also a huge fan of Wisconsin Badger football. I have a few friends that play for them, and its fun to watch people I know play at that level. I find the college game a little bit more exciting than the NFL because I know all of those kids play because they love the sport, and do not get paid for it. Yes, I know most of them are on full scholarships, but I know that they play from their hearts and play for the pride in their school. I have two handfuls of friends that go to Wisconsin, and I love going to visit them for Badger gamedays. The atmosphere in that city is second to none when the Badgers play at home. There are people everywhere decked out in red and the smell of the cookouts filters throughout the city. Its such a cool experience to get, and I encourage everyone to head down to Madison on a gameday at some point in their lives!
Every year, when football rolls around, the same feelings come back to me. I MISS THIS SPORT. I played high school football, and had the opportunity to play at Ripon, but decided against playing two sports, as I am playing baseball too. But I loved the day leading up to games. Football is a game that is so emotional, and after it was over for me, those emotions have stuck with me. I flat out miss playing. Miss putting on my shoulder pads and helmet, and lacing up my cleats. But in the end, I guess thats why they put it on TV.. so those that miss playing, can enjoy watching!
Thats all for now. Lasts nights NFL opener sprung this entry, ha. Its Friday, Wisconsin plays tomorrow, the Packers on Sunday. Going to be a good weekend!

Fall has arrived!
... (I hope!) Well, after two muggggggggy weeks here at Ripon, today seems to be the beginning of fall. Temps are in the 60's and its beautiful outside. What a nice way to end the first full week of my senior year!
Its amazing how fast these past four years have gone. I feel like high school was just yesterday. I have met so many amazing people throughout the course of my college career. I dont think I would do anything differently.
My classes for the first semester will be challenging, but very interesting. Having class, work, and a practicum through the Midwest Conference has suddenly consumed a lot of my time! And add baseball on top of that, I have become a super busy senior! Thats all for now!
