I can NOT believe it is almost April and my first year at BW is about to come to an end! My freshman year has flown by! I can honestly say I have loved every second of being here, but of course I am ready for summer :) The is back to good old Ohio weather and very chilly. I have been sick for the past week because of it, so I have not had a sense of smell and am missing out on the great smell of these Berea trees apparently. Open gyms have been gong great so far, it's nice to be back together with the team. St. Patrick's Day was a blast, a group of the team went down to the parade together and some go the girls that are not from around here got to see how crazy it really was with so many people in downtown. School is going good, I have been taking a lot more naps since bball ended :p ooops! I've also been loving march madness. I think Kentucky is going to win it all. Currently Justin Bieber's new single came out last night at midnight, and I have been listening to it non- stop, even while typing this entire bling #BIEBERFEVER hehe :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the weather as much as I along with almost everyone else on campus is! Even though the weather has been exceptionally nice for March, I have spent most of it inside my room working on homework and papers. But most importantly, being glued to the TV watching March Madness. It doesn't get better than this! Go Bucks! :) Aaron Craft is my main man!! Fun Fact for the day: Craft was actually in my conference in high school and dominated our entire basketball and football team every single year.. He was/is a stud! <3
Anyways, open gyms have started back up and it felt good to be back on the floor playing with my second family! We all have big dreams and goals for next year so we are trying to work our butts off in the off-season so our season doesn't end like it did this year. NCAA watch out for BW next year...
This past weekend was St. Patty's Day and being from the completely other side of the state I didn't realize how big of a deal this "holiday" was to Cleveland. Almost the whole basketball team went downtown for the parade and let me tell you, I have NEVER, in my entire life, seen so many people in one area before! The rumor was that there were around half a million people there?! It was cray to say the least! But, of the 499,985 people there that I didn't know, I ran into one of our recruits! So, shout out to Celine Mangan, it was great running into you!
I also made the trip down to C-Bus to watch another team in my conference play at state. Arlington was playing against the team of one of our recruits and if she chooses BW (which she better) we have a very bright future! It was great to see potential yellow jackets have such a great season and make it to the Schott! Not everyone can say they played on the same floor as some of the great buckeyes!
Anyways, I have to wrap this up because Aaron is on TV and I can't miss him ballin' out :) Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend!!!

SPRING TIME

I hope everyone loves this weather as much as I do! It's so nice to see everyone out and about with such beautiful weather. Such a nice change from the cold and snow. Anyway, open gyms started last week and I am so excited to get back into it. I've missed everyone! It seems like since the season ended we don't see each other as much :( But that's all different now :) I can't believe this year is almost over. It seems like yesterday I was just moving in.....crazy! It's been a great year and I am looking forward to 3 more amazing years!

This year is flying by!!

First off I would like to apologize for my blog being a week late, even though I am pretty sure every time I have blogged it has been at least a week late. I am getting better at it though :). Second I would like to point out we only have 8 weeks left of class and then this year is over. I personally think this has been the fastest school year ever which I can't say I am too happy about. Anywayyys I am glad I was late on blogging because now I get can talk about how nice it has been this week especially today. Its going to be like 70 degrees out which means maybe I can finally get some sun. I mean even Coach told me I looked pretty pale.. And I also can mention that we started open gyms this week :D Open gym is always really fun but it is also the moment when I realize that I am in terrible shape. I think I can speak for about the whole team when I say after about two trips up and down the floor I'm darn near exhausted. I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather and has a wonderfullll day!

Weee're Baaaaack

       Back at school! Spring Break was pretty nice and all, but it definitely got a little boring at times, so its a bittersweet comeback to school. Especially because it is soooo nice outside!  When I'm in class I just want to play outside! It is supposed to stay like this all week though, yay! :D  I was secretly jealous of everyone who got to go to Florida or Myrtle! We had our first open gym of the new year today! It felt good even though I think I may have forgotten how to dribble a basketball... Luckily, there is time to fix that. This week has definitely been crunch time academically for me. Two midterms and a research paper all due. Its starting to get rough. Thank God for sunshine :) I'm excited to get rolling with basketball again. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I was sitting at home with no one to go shoot around with. It's nice to be back!

SPRING BREAK:)

Hello there!

It's spring break and I am just a little excited! I am heading down to Florida with a couple of my friends for a nice relaxing week on the beach!  This is a much needed break because midterms were quite stressful.  The only bad part about that is that we still should be playing right now if everything would have gone as planned.  Oh well, next year will be our year!

Well, that's all I have for now! Sorry it is so short!

AWWWWWW JACKETSSS!  #jacketnation
