To The NCAA Athletes Getting Another Year Of Eligibility

Spring sports are probably the one thing that everyone looks forward to once college football season is over, and not being able to have that is not only upsetting to those who watch, but also upsetting to the athletes.

At the beginning of every school year these athletes start training for their sport in hopes to absolutely crush their season when the time comes. But this year they couldn't because of the COVID-19 virus.

Being someone who loves spring sports, especially basketball, baseball and lacrosse, I couldn't help but feel sad for all of these athletes who had their season cut short. Many of my friends who are athletes at their universities have expressed how upset they are because of this.

When the virus started to impact NCAA sports, no one was quite sure what was going to happen, if all sports were going to be canceled or if they would be played without crowds of people.

Then, the NCAA made an announcement telling everyone that all sporting events would be suspended until further notice. Flash forward about a week or so, the NCAA put out another statement saying that every season is canceled for the rest of the year, which really put a hurt on all of March Madness and College World Series fans.

What are were we supposed to do the whole month of March? Not watch basketball?! And now what happens when June comes around and the College World Series won't be on TV?

I won't be able to scream at my tv after a crazy play or an insane home run.

At that moment everyone felt the pain of those athletes. Trust me when I say this, you all are not alone.

Even though us non-athletes may not fully understand how you're feeling, we understand that it feels like all of the hard work you've put in has been thrown away.

When the NCAA put out that they would be giving all Spring athletes another year of eligibility, things got a little better, and it seemed like things were starting to look up.

Although it may not be the most ideal situation for some, at least they're getting this season back.

Keep your head up, guys.

This may be a hard time for you guys, and you may feel like you've wasted your time, but there's a bigger meaning behind all of this. You all may not know it now, but you'll find that meaning one way or another.

Keep your head up, and keep pushing through.

Everyone is rooting for you guys, and we know that your next season will be something special. We feel you, we hear you and we see you.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
