Basketball season is finally under way and campus is buzzing.  Every game that I have gone to so far has been filled with excitement especially our come from behind win against New Mexico in which we trailed by 23 points.  At this point in the game I was thinking to myself if they are going to play like this all season it is going to be a long year...but then things began to turn around and we went on a 17-0 scoring run in the last 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the game.  The noise in the arena was the loudest I had ever heard, which was very exciting for me, because i felt we helped carry our team to victory through the support we showed for them in the final minutes of the game.  Although basketball season has just begun, our mens soccer team is hosting a second round NCAA ...

Yesterday was a very exciting day for me as it was the first time I was allowed to complete my civic duty as an American citizen to vote for the first time.  The past couple of months I had been reading the issues not only of the president, but of the local races as well, becasue the local races to me are important too.  However the past week I felt myself on the fence in dealing with the presidential election and I was still undecided up until I darkened the oval on my ballot yesterday.  I drove 30 minutes back to my hometown of Blair, NE to cast my vote and as I was driving I was thinking to myself I now get the chance to have my voice heard when it comes to electing the next president and that was an exciting thought to me.  I walked in the doors to vote and luckily com ...
