Freshman at Wisconsin Lutheran University
The first day of campus is very very welcoming. I had no clue what to expect and the people on campus did a very good job at introducing me to people and showing me around. Everyone is trying to get their stuff set up for the school year and everyone is super excited. For freshman there are different groups and activities to help you settle in and It is a great time.
Being so far away from home is just very awkward. You don’t have your parents to cook you food, you don’t have your parents to pick you up and take you out. You have to figure out how to get around on your own. I have mini jobs, like working soccer games, to help for food and haircuts. On the weekends, we only get two meals so we have to find a way to get food, and my parents aren’t here to take me out to get food or cook for me.
The first week of practice is a lot of fun and exciting, but there is a lot of teaching. Everyone is pumped up and loud and clapping. The coaches are even pumped and excited. Then there is the teaching. The team is still trying to figure out the routines, and how he wants things done. Before your first day of practice in the off-season, there are open-runs, and you get to show off your skillset. When the first day of practice comes, you have to be able to play within the teams structure. Some people play better when practice starts, and some mediocre.The first week is definitely one of the best weeks of the season.
