Intramural Softball

This semester I was asked to join an intramural softball team which has been nothing but a blast. Its super easy to get a group of kids together and play two games of softball a week just for the fun of the game. Most of us have had some experience with a bat and ball but there are a few kids who are just trying out for their first time. It was really exciting yesterday seeing my tiny little friend, who has never payed in her life, hit a ball right past second base and into the outfield. She got out on the next play but hit two runners in. She didn't realize that she had even done anything good but we all made sure she knew it. Intramural sports are a great way to get involved, meet new people and play sports that you maybe have played once upon a time but aren't fortunate enough to continue playing into college. Luckily MSU offers tons and tons of different intramural sports so everyone can have something just for them!

Hiking in Bozeman!

As I have previously stated in this blog, Hiking is amazing in Bozeman! We just happen to sit in the center of about four mountain ranges which provides for so much great outdoor activities. Recently I made the trek five miles up to Emerald lake and five miles back. It sits far up in Hyalite canyon in the Spanish peaks and has some of the most astonishing views along the way. Hiking is one of the greatest things to do with a group of friends and its awesome if you have a dog to bring along too! I am planing on indulging myself in the wilderness this weekend seeing as right now the weather is beautiful and knowing Bozeman it could be May before we see another weekend like this one is suppose to be. For the daring people, like myself, it is a vary large rush to jump into a cold mountain lake on a hot day. So if you get the urge go for it! You won't regret it. 

Advocat Retreat!

I am an Advocat at MSU which is an awesome group of kids that give campus tours to prospective students and parents when they come to campus to visit. Every year we have a retreat in the fall to kick off the year and get to know everyone. This year we went up to Bear Canyon and stayed in a cabin with fifty college kids sleeping on the floor. We played lots of fun games through the night and I made tons of new friends. My favorite part of the retreat was when we had a competition to see which group could make the best impression of a college student out of a potato and a bunch of other random vegetables for eyes, nose and ears. I also met Ronda Russells daughter, Maggie, who I have been hearing how much I look like since I started school at MSU. We are both red heads and Jen Dunn, another admissions representative has beautiful red hair as well. We all go together to document the photo op and it turned out adorable!
