To The Sport That Stole My Heart
Bekah Sebastian

To the sport that stole my heart,

Thank you.

Thank you for providing a safe place to let my mind run free and to express myself. You taught me that it was okay to be me.

Thank you for the 5 a.m. practices that taught me what it really means to be passionate about something and that introduced me to my favorite time of day.

Thank you for the teammates. The ones that I can stay up all night talking to. The ones that make me laugh so hard and long that my abs hurt. The ones that are there when I need a shoulder to cry on. The ones that inspire others.

Thank you for the coaches that are always willing to help with anything and everything. They believe in me when I don’t and continuously push me to be the best I can be.

Thank you for the memories. They will be treasured in my heart forever and always.

Thank you for all of the life lessons.

Thank you for building up my self-confidence.

Thank you for making me physically and mentally stronger.

Thank you for being something so hard to have to say goodbye to soon.

Much love,

A soon to be retired athlete

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
