ASU Wrestling Wins 2020 Pac-12 Title

The Sun Devils took their 19th Pac-12 Wrestling Title this past weekend at the Maples Pavilion at Stanford University, performing an impressive feat of five individual titles. Sophomore Brandon Courtney took the 125lbs title, the first time ASU has taken a title at that weight class, beating out Stanford to secure his win and get his team the points they needed. At 157lbs, Freshman Jacori Teemer, who wrestled that day with a dislocated finger, took down another Stanford wrestler to earn his win. Junior Anthony Valencia got his victory at 174lbs, earning a well-executed technical fall to claim his third personal title. Sophomore Kordell Norfleet got his win at the 197lbs spot to get enough points for the Sun Devils to secure a team victory overall at the meet, but they were not done yet, as 5-year senior Tanner Hall got his well-deserved win at the Heavyweight/285lbs spot to conclude the meet for the Sun Devils.

Overall points for the meet: Arizona State 141.5, Stanford 122, CSU Bakersfield 99.5, Oregon State 92.5, Cal Poly 90, Little Rock 62.5.

Looking ahead of the conclusion of the conference title, the Sun Devils will start prepping for Nationals occurring in Minneapolis, Minnesota from March 19th to the 21st. Unfortunately, because of measures being taken to ensure the overall health of the public and the teams isn't put into jeopardy by the coronavirus, the NCAA president, Mark Emmert, has declared that all collegiate sporting events happening this month, fans will not be allowed to attend.

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.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
