Today after classes let out, one of my good friends was giving me a ride home. When I said I didn’t want to cook tonight, she said she didn’t really want to either. So we sat in the car and thought about what places were around that we could try. We ended up at City […]

Enter Sandman. Exit Sandman
It’s the last time that the number 42 will make an appearance in an All-Star Game (ASG). It’s the last year that the number 42 will ever appear in a game. And it’s going to be sad to say goodbye to the player that wears it. Mariano Rivera.
On the Road to Indy
The summer between my sophomore and junior year at Spring Arbor, I found this internship with MLB.com (oh, what a dream!) and in the process, I found out about a Master’s of Sports Journalism program at IUPUI. As my junior year progressed, I applied for the internship and thought about the Master’s program. But continuing […]
Pink in October
One of my favorite things about the fall is being able to sit on the couch, wrapped in my favorite blanket, watching a football game on TV. But there is something special about watching NFL games in October. It has everything do with the pink accents that grace everything from gloves to hats and shoes […]
A Biblical challenge
For one of my courses this semester, my professor handed out a challenge of the Biblical sort. Read a book of Proverbs, Acts and one of the gospels that corresponds with the number date of the month. Read the Bible EVERYDAY and not just for a homework assignment, but to make it a daily habit. […]
The biggest part of me
Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it. Julia Child knew what she talking about when she said this. Having a passion for something changes the way you look at it, how you complete it and how you go about loving it. Because for me, I’m passionate about sports and about writing.I […]
The MVP Should Stay in Detroit
[mlbvideo id=”24870137″ width=”400″ height=”224″ /] After today’s performance, it is clear that the MVP award should stay in the city of Detroit. Miguel Cabrera has proved himself over and over as one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball. The man steps up to the plate and I’d cower in fear if I was […]
One At Bat
His career ended in his first Major League at-bat. The crazy thing – it wasn’t even official. Why? He was hit with the very first pitch that was thrown at him. Adam Greenberg has an amazing story. He was on the Chicago Cubs roster in 2005. He was asked by Dusty Baker (now manager of […]
What a month
This past month has been extremely interesting for me. So much has happened – some good, some not so good – and I can’t believe the place I find myself to start my senior year at Spring Arbor. A little over a month ago, my boyfriend of 2 and a half years and I broke […]
Madden curse has nothing on Megatron
There has always been talk of the curse of the Madden cover. Whatever player graces the cover has always had a horrible season following the introduction of that year’s game. Some Detroit Lions fans were worried when they learned that Calvin Johnson would be on the cover of Madden. Other fans weren’t so worried. They […]
