Thank You For Allowing Me To Be A Part Of Your Family
Dawn Underhill

Dear Team,

Thank you for taking me in under your wing and helping me through everything this semester. Whether it have been helping me with simple skills at practice (such as burpees, how to properly breathe while running for a longer amount of time, etc.) or even just allowing me to become part of your family, thank you. From my first day of tryouts to the 6 a.m's in the gym and lift every other day, you guys have become so much more to me than just a team, you've become my family. There isn't any other group of hardworking and positive individuals that I would rather spend everyday with than you guys.

The night that we spend at Sam and Leddy's apartment for our Christmas party will always be cherished. I have never felt so close to a group of people before and from the moment that I met you guys you have and every minute of being not just on the team, but being at BSU worth it. Thank you for teaching me that it's okay to be myself and feel confident and have fun all at the same time. I am truly grateful for the bond that you guys have shared with me throughout these past few months and the positivity that you guys have shared with me.

Your attitudes brighten up my day every time I see you and when we pass by each other in the halls on campus, you have no idea how exciting it is for me to be able to say hi and have a connection with someone I feel comfortable being myself around. I thank you for pushing me and supporting me in becoming not only a better athlete but a better version of me on and off the field.

Although we are still in the process of figuring each other out, I look forward to the days and my first game season with all of you to come! Without having such a great group of family to be my support system day in and day out, I honestly don't think that my days here on campus would be as enjoyable as they are now. You guys have become my role models and I look forward to becoming a better person and athlete like all of you. I am beyond thankful to have supporters and role models in my life and I am thankful for everything that you guys have done for me so far this season.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
