The sounds of the crowd roar from below the press box as the Pfeiffer Pfalcons score yet another goal. I had a bird's eye view from this vantage point I have grown accustomed too. It is amazing to see the difference a year can make; this time last year I was a spectator at these games, this year I have been working these games. I do have to say, though, this year has been more memorable for me due to the opportunities I have had working these events as this team has succeeded.

It was a soccer game, after all, that led to me falling in love with college athletics as much as I have. I have found myself at most games when I have had to work the live-stream, with one hand covering my mouth to keep myself from cheering or making comments about the game. This year, working behind the scenes at each game has overall has given me a better understanding of the game as well. It is hard to believe that it is the end of season already, so on that note, here are some stats from the season for the team as a whole.

This season the team has a record of 17-2, or 17 wins and went undefeated in conference play. The two teams they lost to were Lynn and Tusculum. Lynn was the 2014 NCAA Champions for Division 2 and won 2-1, Tusculum won 3-2 after going into overtime when they played Pfeiffer. The team also is currently ranked number one in our conference and is set to play in the Conference Championship on Saturday, November 5th against Limestone. The road to the Conference Championship comes after winning against Barton on Halloween night 7-1 and another win against Lees-McRae 5-0. The team also has 89 goals on the season as well averaging 4.68 goals a game.

Men's soccer is in a time of transition though as there is 16 graduating seniors this year, one of them being Santi Moar who was the senior feature for my series Why is Pfeiffer Unique. As the season is winding down to an end the All conference teams are being announced and we had ten members of our team in all receive honors of being on an all-conference team.

On first team all-conference: Nathan Regis, Dani and Jaime Siaj,, Martim Galvao, Jorge Buzzo, Tomas Correa, and Santi Moar.

On second team all-conference: Cristobal Allendes and Juan Sanchez. And on third team all-conference Roberto Soares.

This team never ceases to amaze me on and off the field, I can not wait to see what Saturday and beyond holds for this team along with the seniors as they graduate.

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.
