Being A St. Louis Blues Fan

Let me warn you of a couple things.

It's the most wonderful and stressful time of the year. It's hockey season folks. Let me tell you there is only one word that describes what it is like to be a St. Louis Blues fan.

That one word is: STRESSFUL.

Between starting off games strong and letting teams come back to trailing one point behind and losing to teams they could have easily destroyed, being a member of this fan base isn't always the easiest thing to do.

How do you think I was on their opening night when they played the reigning Stanley Cup winners and beat them 5-4 in OT? I was a mess.

Do you think I was okay watching them lose to the Nashville Predators in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this past season? Absolutely not. The Preds just got lucky. They're just physical brutes anyway.

Do you think I got emotional when they took Ari on a trip to two different games last season and then Levi to a game this season? You bet. This team goes above and beyond in giving back to the community.

My favorite player is their starting goalie: Jake Allen. The man who has a large say in how the game goes with his saves. Between him and Carter Hutton, a number of saves made bring me relief but even as this season has progressed, I'm still stressed out by them. They also can make errors and mistakes but they are two of the best players in the game.

The Blues are such a good team and are continuing to progress. However, I will warn you that if you join this fan base, watching games might stress you out. Prepare to shout at your tv more than normal, invest in a large number of Blues logo items, and look forward to the winter months more than other people. Prepare to cheer like a madman when Vladimir Tarasenko scores at least one goal almost every single game, prepare for Alex Pietrangelo to inspire his teammates as the season progresses as their captain, and prepare for Mike Yeo to lead this team to another phenomenal season of the game we all get so excited to watch.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
