Thoughts We All Have During Preseason

When all you want to do is leave preseason.

Thoughts We All Have During Preseason
The Micheli Center

Preseason. The most dreaded season of them all. The one and only season you wish to miss. Preseason is where the soreness and pain never leave your body. You are in a constant state of sweat and misery. But hey, you like sports right?

1. If I puke, can I stop?

We all think it. Like… if I puke… Do I get out of this sprint? Because if so...


2. Please, someone steal that whistle

Someone save us and take that whistle. Because whistle blow = sprints. Sprints = tired/annoyed/dead me. So basically whistle blow = tired/annoyed/dead me. I like to be alive and feeling well and not feeling like my legs are about to fall off. I want to steal that whistle and throw it into the ocean. Let the whistle wash up on the shore for some other coach to use to torture his/her players.

3. What happens if we all just don’t sprint

Come on every athlete has thought about that. What would the coach do? The coach can’t bench all of us. So what if we all don’t sprint? The coach can’t make us. What are they going to do? Push on our backs till we run? No. But, even if you do try there will always be that one kid that does run. That one kid that makes everyone else look bad.

4. Is it even humanly possible to sweat this much?

It can’t be. Sweat is pouring out of more holes than I knew I had. I am drenched. Did I just shower? Or did I just walk through a rain storm? Please let me, because it can’t be humanly possible to sweat this much. Like someone prescribe me non-sweating meds please.

5. I hope I roll my ankle

Rolling my ankle won’t keep me out for too long and it is not too serious. You know I might miss a couple of conditioning sessions. You know nothing too major… I mean if I roll my ankle I need to rest it. You know? Don’t want to make it worse.

6. I can barely breathe… yet I have to cheer on my teammates

Yup, I am sprinting and dying. Yet, I have to be positive and cheer on my teammates. Like, come on. I can barely breathe myself. Yet I need to cheer them on otherwise we run again. Goodness, who knew you had to be so multi-talented in soccer.

7. Is it even possible to have this many blisters?

When you’re looking at the bottom of your foot and you can’t find a spot where there isn’t a blister. Like wow. Jeez, thanks cleats! Really love having blisters covering my foot. Oh especially, when I have to do sprints with all these blisters.

8. I think I am going to quit

My couch is looking better and better now. Every sprint that we have to do increases my wanting for a shower, couch, and TV. Like I could be sitting at home watching Netflix instead of sweating on the field miserably.

9. Ugh I just want FOOD

Chipotle anyone? I’ll drive. Let's just get out of here. I can hear my stomach longing for food. That is all it wants. Not be here sweating. It wants some nice food. It wants Chipotle.

10. Water Break?

Please. Water. I am dying. My throat is as dry as the Sahara Desert. Oh, you want me to run fifty more sprints before I have “earned” water. No water is a rite of passage. Water is how one lives. Water is my right!

11. Do they want us to pass out?

I think the coaches want us to pass out. I truly do. I do not think they want us to live past this session. It is hot out. And we are dying. Yet we don’t stop. I really do believe sometimes they like to see us pain. Because to them pain = progress. To me, pain = pain.

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.

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!

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.
