So what's this all about?

Hi everybody! Welcome to my blog! I created Life of a (college) Student Athlete as a way to show what it's like to be involved in college division I athletics while also juggling academics, a social life, and a job. I have had difficulty finding blogs/pages/articles that detail what life is like as an athlete in college and what experiences they go through throughout their four year journey. I want to display what it's like through the eyes of someone who's heavily involved in college life, and life in general.

As of right now I'm about two weeks away from moving in to Marist College, where I will be majoring in Biology and minoring in Business. I'm not sure how long I'll last (Marist's Biology program is known to be very rigorous, like most college Biology programs), but I'll put in the effort to be as successful as possible. I plan on playing intramural soccer (shh..don't tell my track coach), joining Marist's Business Club, and possibly Ski Team if time permits. I'm in love with athletics, I'm extremely outgoing, I love traveling,  picture taking, and being adventurous, and I enjoy anything that makes me laugh.

With that leeway, heres a little bit about my athletic background. From Kindergarten I started soccer, fell in love with it, and continued throughout my high school career. I played random sports here and there during those years including softball, lacrosse, and swimming, however when high school came around, I began track and field. Track is my calling. Even though I say I hate it most of the time, I love it deep down inside me (somewhere). I've always been consumed in sports and I plan on sharing my love for professional sports as well through my blog.

I'm ultimately grateful to be recruited for the Marist track and field team and will be blogging about my experiences with the team, the sport, and the lifestyle. Along with those topics, expect to see my college experience overall, tips I may have, or things I just feel like sharing!

So to end this not-so-little intro I just want to thank you for reading this and I promise I'll get more interesting once college starts. That being said, I'm known for overbooking myself and being consumed in life, so I may not blog as much as I'd like to, but I'll do my best:)

xoxo
