6 Thoughts During The NHL Offseason

Thankfully if you’re a fan of a pretty decent National Hockey League team, and that team makes it to the playoffs, you get to watch roughly nine months of hockey out of the twelve months of the year. But honestly, those three offseason months are pure agony on a person. The thoughts that cross your mind not only while waiting for the draft but also for the season to start can drive you mad.

1. Is it October yet?

The season starts in October, and if you’re anything like me, I get super pumped about the preseason games because they give you some insight on newer players.

2. They traded who?

The salary cap can be a total deal breaker for a team. Seriously, it never fails to disappoint fans in some way.

3. Who is this new guy?

Looking up all the stats on a new player in hopes that they didn’t seriously just totally screw themselves over. Which, honestly, they probably did.

4. Everyone is healthy, right?

We're all praying all the players are staring off the season healthy, and hoping the star players are starting out healthy, or you’ll probably have a heart attack.

5. Better watch out for that team.

There are always a few teams that are suppose to be the best, and They are always branded as most likely to make it to the playoffs.

6. When can I go to a game?

I love going to hockey games. The price is worth the experience every time. Even if you aren't a hockey fan, you should definitely go to a game!

…Is it October yet?

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.
