FacebookLiving Big in a Small City
Upon starting at Hastings College, I had embarked on an adventure to a small city in the middle of Nebraska. Being from Omaha, it was a culture shock. No nightlife, lack of entertainment, and minimal chain restaurants. I thought I would hate it. But, spending most of my time on campus taught me how much more important the people are—instead of all the available activities.

Coaching, it’s in my Blood
The definition of a coach in the Webster’s Dictionary is “one who instructs players in the fundamentals of a competitive sport and directs team strategy.” While I would agree with that 100%...coaching involves so much more.
I Need A Recess
Who decided between 6th and 7th grade I didn’t deserve a recess anymore? I motion that the new cutoff should be as soon as you get your high school diploma. Up until then, each and every high school kid gets a 45-minute recess. I would happily give up a study hall for a 45-minute recess, who wouldn’t?
One Thousand
One thousand can either be a lot or a little. It’s a little when you’re burning through Chuck E. Cheese’s game tokens at a fourth grade birthday party and have to share those tokens with a hundred other kids. But this Christmas, a thousand seemed like an endless number.
Communication Technology
An interesting topic was brought up last week in English class. To start off class my English teacher, Mrs. Marker, had each of us write a paragraph based on the idea that recent advancements in communication technologies like Facebook, Twitter, smart phones, and Skype are slowly killing human social life. It was meant to be a persuasive paragraph on whether I thought these advancements were good or bad for the future of human interaction.

Your License is Revoked!
This year, as a representative of the Office of Healthy Living, I am officially revoking your license to eat! Without your license, you will be unable to fill your plate more than once at the holiday party, make more than one trip per day to the office goodie trough or sit like a bump on the couch because if you got up to excercise, someone ELSE in the family would get to eat the homemade chocolate candy the neighbor brought over.

Hastings Dining Dilemma
I have always lauded Hastings for the LACK of chain restaurants. We have the fast food explosion, but when it comes to dining, the locally owned restaurant reigns in Hastings – that is not such a bad thing. I cannot understand when people travel, why would you go to a chain restaurant when you can do this anytime?
