The Hockey Game to go to For the College Kid on a Budget

Chicago Wolves

The Chicago Wolves are a part of the AHL (American Hockey League), and play at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. The St. Louis Blues recruit from them, which tells you how good they are. My favorite part about the games however, is the mascot.

A lot of mascots have a stigma about them, but this one is definitely what mascots are meant to be.

At the last game I went to the mascot was dancing the actual dance to Single Ladies before Skates sat down in front of us. He leaned back as if stretching when he saw my stepdad's popcorn sitting on the empty seat next to him. Skates took the popcorn and then started handing out out to all of the people around him. It was ridiculously hilarious. He wasn't even done yet. The next thing he did was grab my foam hand and pretend it was his real hand. And THEN he took the girl behind me's stuffed Skates plushie and stuffed it in his face! He signed it after he'd wiped off the fake spit.

All in all, I never have any complaints about the Wolves games. The mascot is great, they light up fireworks in the stadium when we score, and the tickets are cheap.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
