Saturdays Are For Wrestling

We came. We saw. We conquered a random wrestling tournament.

Saturdays Are For Wrestling
Jenna Jorgenson

This past weekend a couple friends and I went to a wrestling championship tournament a couple hours away from our college. I wish I could say we went to see a friend/cousin/someone we knew, but that is not the case. We drove two hours to go to a random wrestling tournament, walking in without knowing a soul, wanting to see some good, clean wrestling. Since it was my first time watching a wrestling meet (meet? do they call it a meet?), I didn't know what to expect going in, so let me help you feel what it's like losing your wrestling-watching-virginity.

1. You're excited to see men be totally serious while wearing spandex

Okay, I know wrestling is legit but come on, those little outfits??? Hilarious!

2. Overwhelmed when walking in


Mostly because my friends and I walked into the wrestlers changing area by accident at first. When we found the real door and walked in, we quickly realized we stuck out like sore thumbs because we were neither a mom/dad nor a girlfriend of anyone present.

3. Still a little dazed and confused


Still trying to figure out why we drove two hours to a random community college to watch random people wrestle.

4. Exposed because the tournament is not as big as we thought


We were just a mere 3-5 feet from spandexed butts. We thought we would be able to blend in but nope, no blending here.

5. Comfortable



Before no time we were making friends and spewing wrestling jargon left and right.

6. THERE ARE SO MANY HAIRY LEGS FLYING EVERYWHERE

7. When someone catches you looking at a butt



Just play it cool and act like you're analyzing the move that kid just did. Act natural.

8. When you've seen too much (if you know what I mean)



What's seen cannot be unseen.

9. You eventually become so enthralled and attached to these wrestlers' lives

You've seen and studied their family so much that you are basically a part of their family. You imagine popping a bottle of champagne with their family at their house tonight.

10. YA BOI (some random kid that you've ended up cheering for) JUST MADE IT TO NATIONALS




I hope everyone has the chance to experience this at some point in their life. It will leave you feeling some type of way - not really sure what that feeling is but it's definitely something.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

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.
