17 Things I Forgot To Thank My Teammates For

Feb 15, 2016

Some of the most influential moments in our lives have occurred in high school, and specifically during high school athletics. It is during my high school seasons that I have grown and matured more then I could ever imagine. Thank you for defining my high school experience and giving me a place to be myself. Thank you for giving me a passion for the rest of my lives and creating a girl who craved competition and a team. I know I never gave you the credit you deserved back then and I took you for granted. Beyond that, my high school teammates will forever be some of my favorite people and favorite memories. To my teammates, thank you.

1. Thank you for being there with me during every grueling work out, road run, hill sprint, and 200 yard sprint.

2. Thank you for slacking off with me some days, and playing games in a park instead of running.

3. Thank you for cheering me on and letting me cheer you on even louder.

Cheering for the JV games was where I thrived.

4. Thank you for laughing with me on the bus and before practice.

5. Thank you for making practice some of the best memories I have.

6. Thank you for singing Disney songs on the bus, even when we lost a game by 20, and screaming out the windows when we won.

This is me screaming out the window, "LBG Ffield hockey, or die!" which went on for approximately 20 minutes.

7. Thank you for teaching me how to deal with emotions and hardships, and to come out as a better player and person.

8. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead others.

Even when the captains dumped the entire jug in my car because we couldn't handle the job.

9. Thank you for giving me coaches I will love forever, and ones I never want to see again.

Shoutout to my coaches for attacking me with silly string -- that's me being sat on.

10. Thank you for showing me what passion is, and how to work as hard as possible for your passion.

11. Thank you for playing with me in the offseason, and hanging out with me during every tournament.

12. Thank you for helping me define myself.

13. Thank you for encouraging me to be myself, even if it meant impressions of yawning turtles.

14. Thank you for making me proud of my town and high school.

I'll never forget my days wearing the uniform.

15. Thank you for keeping me grounded and making fun of me when I needed it.

We all know I needed it a lot.

16. Thank you for creating a community I was proud to be part of.

17. Thank you for becoming my best friends.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
