First few weeks of all the mayhem

I cannot believe it has been about a month since I began my journey at Marist College! It is safe to say it has been a whirlwind of adjusting to new people, surroundings, and lifestyles. My schedule is packed with science classes, as a result of studying Biomedical Sciences, as well as some random first year requirements. The balance of homework, track, and a social life (while also maintaining sanity) has been a big challenge for me that I hope to overcome.

Track has been both exhausting and amazing. I have practice on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with weight room sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The weight room sessions also happen to take place at 5:45 AM. As much as this early time makes me question why I even do sports, the group of people that make up this team are the most unique and down to earth individuals I've met. 

Along with all the benefits of being on a team with great people, we get treated like royalty (although the queen would never be forced to run hills...). We received a plethora of clothes and sports bag which has become my day to day wardrobe. Athletic wear has always been my outfit of choice but free Nike team apparel will make any athlete's heart skip a beat in excitement. 

All in all it has been quite the experience thus far and I cannot wait to see where my new friends, my studies, and track and field, take me.
