Thank You For Allowing Me To Be A Part Of Your Family
Dawn Underhill

Dear Team,

Thank you for taking me in under your wing and helping me through everything this semester. Whether it have been helping me with simple skills at practice (such as burpees, how to properly breathe while running for a longer amount of time, etc.) or even just allowing me to become part of your family, thank you. From my first day of tryouts to the 6 a.m's in the gym and lift every other day, you guys have become so much more to me than just a team, you've become my family. There isn't any other group of hardworking and positive individuals that I would rather spend everyday with than you guys.

The night that we spend at Sam and Leddy's apartment for our Christmas party will always be cherished. I have never felt so close to a group of people before and from the moment that I met you guys you have and every minute of being not just on the team, but being at BSU worth it. Thank you for teaching me that it's okay to be myself and feel confident and have fun all at the same time. I am truly grateful for the bond that you guys have shared with me throughout these past few months and the positivity that you guys have shared with me.

Your attitudes brighten up my day every time I see you and when we pass by each other in the halls on campus, you have no idea how exciting it is for me to be able to say hi and have a connection with someone I feel comfortable being myself around. I thank you for pushing me and supporting me in becoming not only a better athlete but a better version of me on and off the field.

Although we are still in the process of figuring each other out, I look forward to the days and my first game season with all of you to come! Without having such a great group of family to be my support system day in and day out, I honestly don't think that my days here on campus would be as enjoyable as they are now. You guys have become my role models and I look forward to becoming a better person and athlete like all of you. I am beyond thankful to have supporters and role models in my life and I am thankful for everything that you guys have done for me so far this season.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
