I still want to pitch for the yankees

I recently had a meeting with my advisement coordinator to discuss classes and graduation and applying to grad school and it really got me thinking what now... I have been planing and setting these goals since freshman year of high school and it kinda pains me to say that was almost 8 years ago. My whole life revolved around getting an education and becoming successful. Yes I still have grad school but that program is only 2 years I will officially be done with school in less than 3 years, I used to feel that day was so far away and now the day scares me. What will I do after that? What dreams will I have to aspire for? Is that the pivotal moment when I will be forced to settle down? All I know is I will never settle for less than I expect and I expect the best. Here is to dreaming big!!

We've been dropping twitter bombs from the sky...
















Why hello out there bloggers!!! It has been quite some time since I last posted an entry and thus I have issued myself a challenge to write more in hopes it will help me in my future endeavors. I'm not going to do the whole 30 day challenge or enlightenment or whatnot because that's just not my style. One major inspiration for this goal is my dearest cousin Kelsey Jo who is an aspiring journalist and possibly one of the funniest people I know! Thanks for all you do Kels, mostly helping me wallow in the Maverik sorrows and gossip!! Enough of trying to explain myself lets get to the good stuff...
Well it is March possibly one of my favorite months of the year simply because of the NCAA basketball tournament. Basketball has been one of my favorite things since I was just a little tyke. I remember being in early elementary school and not being able to wait until Friday night when I got to watch my big bro play. My dad was always my coach when playing junior jazz and ever since I just can't get enough. One day I would like to be able to coach and instill my love in hearts of young children. My favorite team is of course the Duke Blue devils, they have so many aspects about them that has forever made them an amazing program. Coach K is one of my favorite coaches and I think he has such an amazing influence on his players. I would love to see them win another national championship, but my heart has a special place for the BYU Cougars and the outstanding Jimmer Fredette. Jimmer is a candidate for the national player of the year going up against the likes of players from schools that everyone talks about and are constantly making sports center. I would like to see him receive this great honor because it would show that the program has the skill to run with the big dogs. Thursday starts the sweet 16 and then is when we will know if these great teams last to see another game...
