Almost Senior Year!
Well, as you know by now, I am a field hockey captain here at Lasell College. We are currently in the middle of our second week of pre-season. Its been a tough 11 days so far. We are out on the hot turf twice a day. Usually we would have triple sessions, but Taylor Field, home of Lasell Soccer and Softball is currently being renovated with a new irrigation system. Therefore, my team, men's soccer and women's soccer have to share Grellier Field, which is the turf field. Good thing we all get along! :-D
Pre-season here at Lasell is quite different from the regular school year. There are only a select few teams on campus and its very quiet. We tend to like that for the first week when we are getting situated, but after that, we want everyone else to get back on campus. However, we are very good at spending time together as a team during pre-season, especially for the freshman to get well acquainted with the campus. This year we have gone to the movies to see Superbad, tie-dyed, played "Karaoke Revolution," gone bowling, and went kayaking down the Charles River. We are always trying to think of new things for team building activities. This really helps the team get incredibly close.
School starts on the 10th of September this year, and as usual, its going to go by so fast. My advice to incoming freshman and prospective students is to use your time wisely, have no regrets, be serious about schoolwork, but have fun at the same time. I'm entering my senior year, and I have no idea how the past three years went by as fast as they did! YAY senior year!!!!
