Softball Is Back In The Olympics

What a satisfying feeling.

It’s that time again. Everyone gathers to witness spectacular performances. Families spend quality time with one other, popping out the popcorn, making big dinners for these events and even going out of their ways to schedule their outings around these events. The Olympics means a whole lot to a lot of Americans. All of the sports that take part in these games have so many supportive fans who root for them at home. Everyone is so proud and prideful of their countries participating, of the individuals who are representing their respective countries.

Certain sports stick out to the majority, like swimming, gymnastics, volleyball, boxing, basketball and golf. With these popular sports, children who aspire to be like them follow. These children look up to these role models, wanting to be just as great as them, competing in the Olympics.

Baseball is one of the most popular sports to date. People are quite excited that it is making a comeback in the 2020 Olympics, with its sister sport tagging along. Baseball and softball are two sports that many people that I know and grew up with enjoy and can highly relate to. After so many years of travel softball, experiencing amazing plays, tough losses and whacky game times, I found a sense of family. A family with the coaches, teammates and their families. We were a group of people who got along, even though our fights seemed like we didn’t, just like any other family. And I would not trade my experience for anything.

Just knowing that there are other girls today, a younger generation, who will get to experience softball players in the Olympics, individuals who they will get to look up to, is a satisfying feeling, the same with boys and their baseball. They get to see their heroes compete for their countries on an international level, giving them some kind or more motivation to want to be as great as them.

Many will be cheering from home, wishing to be part of the phenomenal experience to witness all of the extraordinary plays and their team's victory!

So in 2020, Tokyo will be the place to be.

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.
