Homecoming At Adrian College Is The Best Day Of The Year

The greatest day to be a bulldog.

Adrian College

This past weekend was Homecoming at Adrian College, arguably one of the best weekends of the entire year. Bulldogs from all over the country gathered in Adrian to celebrate our school and just have fun together. This was my second Homecoming as a Bulldog, and it was just as exciting as the first. Meeting alumni and talking about school was inspiring, and catching up with old friends was amazing.

The festivities started on Friday with the annual Walk of Fame. All of the athletic teams lined the sidewalk and congratulated all of the new inductees of the AC Athletic Hall of Fame. These new inductees included the 2007-2008 men's hockey team, baseball players, softball players, and all other players. Standing with my team, I could see the history of Adrian College and the great athletes that came before me. Their faces inspired me to be as great as them and always show my love for my school.

Saturday was definitely the big day. It started with Skate with the Bulldogs, a public skate at Arrington Ice Arena. Figure skaters and hockey players alike came to the ice to have fun and share our love of Bulldog ice sports. After that was the parade, my personal favorite. Everyone, and I mean everyone, comes to the parade. Sororities, sports teams, frats, clubs, you name it. We all want to walk and show our AC spirit.

The day ended with the Homecoming football game at Docking Stadium. Students, family, alumni, and all walks of life gathered to watch this game and celebrate the history and beauty of Adrian College. The Bulldogs won the game, but that wasn't the important part. Getting to see friends that we haven't seen in a while and have fun together was the important part.

I already can't wait for next year's Homecoming. I know that it will be just as fun and exciting, maybe even more so. There's nothing like spending a weekend showing your love for your school and singing the fight song at the top of your lungs.

It's always a great day to be a bulldog, but Homecoming is an even greater day to be a bulldog.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
