Jeans and Hoodies, My Favorite Time of Year!

What makes me absolutely love Clarion is the beautiful turning of the leaves during autumn. It's so pretty up here, it's just like out of a movie! I love jeans and hoodies weather. It's just so comfy and cool at this time of year, it makes you want to grab a cup of hot chocolate! Autumn Leaf Festival was a lot of fun, and there were a TON of people! It was great to see some alumni from years past on the streets during the craft show. I didn't get anything this year, but next year I have my eye on a few pieces of jewelry I'd like to buy!

As much fun as ALF was, it didn't compare to what I got to do Sunday. I volunteered to work the Junior Olympics, an event where children 5-12 had basically a fun track and field day. The children were such a joy to work with! They competed in the "javelin throw" (which consisted of a small nerf toy), ran races, and jumped the long jump. It made me so happy to see the children having so much fun, I got such a charge from it.

As far as school is concerned, midterms just ended last week for me. I seem to be doing pretty well in all of my classes, which is always a good thing! :)

This week our organization (Athletic Training Students Association) have a pizza and ice cream social for the freshman that want to enter the athletic training program. I'm excited because I love meeting new people, and I really want to get to know them and let them know we are all there to help them out with anything they need.

Well! It's time for my next class - Developmental Psychology - so I'll catch ya later!
