Rants on Rants on Rants

For the past few weeks I have been in the process of looking for apartments and looking for apartments to live with people in. Let me tell you, this is the most stressful thing I could imagine. And to add to that, Finals weeks, going gluten free and so many other things that I'm trying to regulate and keep a hold on all at the same time of trying to keep my sanity in this whole thing. I have decided that since I have been having alot of problems with my stomach that its time that I should look into other diet options and I decided to look into what all the hype about going gluten free is. I have looked up studies that have said that people who go gluten free have changed their lives for the better and that people who don't eat gluten don't have to take allergy medicine anymore. I have only heard great things about it and I can't wait to see the results of how much better it makes me feel. One thing that does suck about going gluten free is having to watch everything that you eat, and having to have the self control not to eat those chips that are sitting in my dorm room, or to go out and have your favorite meal at a your favorite place that is the definition of gluten.

ESPN GAME DAY

Holy shit. ESPN is here. Today. This week. Campus has been crazy this week with the setting up of port-a-potties, the huge ESPN truck rolling in with the sports center news casters inside coming here to campus today to do a bunch of pep rallies all around us all day, continuing on through tomorrow and up until the big game day that this has been all leading up too on Saturday afernoon at 3:30 when WMU being 10-0 and faces off Buffalo thats 2-8. (Sounds like its gonna be an easy win). In all the years that Western has been around never have they ever had this great of a season, or have had the chance to be this talked about on national TV as much as they have been this year, in all the other years combined. I feel so lucky and honored to go to a school that has such great morals behind every game and every player that is involved in the Western experience. The motto "Row the Boat" and its morals behind it and the school itself and the great characteristics that it brings out. Lets bring in a great game on saturday and have some fun with ESPN being here. Go Broncos!

Election Week

This week is Election week and to say the least, its stressful. I feel anxious, I feel pressured, I feel the chaos around me and I can't wait for it to be over. This being my first election to vote in, I feel that this is a hard one to vote in because the candidates are so divided and so abrasive and just plain sloppy. Nothing more bothers me more than when people feel the need to try and change your opinion or mindset, about anything in general but more specifically on politics. There is a reason that I believe the things I do and I don't want you coming around and throwing around all these potentially invalid facts at me to try and change my mind. Nope. Nu-uh and goodbye. If I wanted to vote, I'd go vote. If I don't? Then I don't want too. Many people have come at me this week and wondered who I wanted to vote for and why. Why does it matter to anyone? If I say I'm voting for Hillary, people are so fast to say "OH you want a criminal in office?" If I wanted Trump to win I got "OH you wanted some racist piece of shit in office?"  Or if I wanted the third party to win Id get, "Oh you're basically throwing away your vote" If I don't vote, then I got "Then you throw away your right to complain about whoever wins" And tonight will be the results and then its the next four years with that person

9 and r0w

This week Western is 9-0 for their football team. Last week, the Broncos were 8-0, the last time that Western was 8-0 was in 1941. This Tuesday we played Ball State who was 4-4, we knew we had this game in the bag. My Business 1750 Professor always starts out class by telling us "How about them Broncos!" and the lecture begins for the first 20 minutes being about our ranking in the confrence and how great he thinks we are, how great we actually are! He some how relates it back to business by mentioning the fact that our tuition he thinks is gonna go up next year and our acceptance rate is gonna go down and what that means for us as students that go here. (I hate talking about that part)
Some of my favorite memories are watching the Broncos on tv and at the home games, what a great way to start out my career as a Bronco myself. There has been talk of P.J going off to Norte Dame and being their head coach. I hope that doesn't happen, I feel that he has built a family with this team and he treats them like their his own. I have much respect for him and all the beliefs he stands for and that the team stands for. The next game we play is next Tuesday and there we will go 10-0!
