1. Having sleepovers with your teammates in hotel rooms every tournament weekend

Always disruptive, never not.

2. Rolling into each match feeling fly as hell in your uniforms

3. Relying on that one teammate to put your hair in the perfect braid on game days

You always played better when your braid was on point.

4. Practicing countless elaborate cheers and handshakes with your teammates

You had to have your handshakes down pat come game day.

5. FACIALS

SO satisfying.

6. Stuff-blocking the cockiest hitter on the opposing team

ROOOOOOOOOF!

7. FINALLY getting a successful pancake (and actually winning the point afterward)

You've never been more impressed with yourself

8. Tipping the ball to the same uncovered spot for the entire match

Thanks for the free points!

9. Stuffing your faces at team dinner together

There was absolutely no shame in carbo-loading.

10. Finishing a long volley with an amazing kill

No better way to end it.

11. Serving a perfect top-spin ball and watching it fall right in front of your opponent

Then hitting them with the floater on your next serve.

12. Getting a flawless dig on a ball you have to jack-knife for

You were never really sure how that happened, but you were glad it did.

13. Winning that game that you've been working towards all season long

There's no better feeling than getting the W you worked so hard for.

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.
