So after the second week of college football, I am able to finally write this entry. For me college football is a passion; something that can make me wake up early (not one of my strong suits) or put me in a good mood for the rest of the day (or bad mood…depending on the outcome). Following your passion is great, but what happens when things don’t always go as expected. As a Notre Dame fan (yes…they are awesome) this weekend was very difficult for me. It was our second biggest game of the year against a team I really don’t like, Michigan. Friday I was filled with anticipation. Saturday I woke up early and headed to my friends house to prepare for the bloodbath. Then as the game proceeded I could tell it would be a very back and forth game. A true nail biter. I hate those kinds of games because the emotion continues to rise and fall. Finally, the unthinkable happened. Michigan scored to take the lead with 11 seconds left. I felt like someone just let all the air out of my balloon. The rest of the day was ruined. But then I woke up on Sunday and realized that Notre Dame still has 10 games left. Although only one of those is against a team I really hate (USC) I know I will have plenty of chances to watch my team win this season.
I guess I am bringing this up because I think it is important to find your passion and stick with it. If your passion changes, that’s great as long as you still have something to be excited about. I think a big part of college is finding that thing that you look forward to doing. Finding and following you passion will lead to plenty of good times.
p.s. Rhodes has some pretty outstanding sports teams right now. You know what’s even better than watching your team win? Watching people you actually know play on a team that wins. I encourage everyone to go out and support your friends as they crush other teams weekly.
That is all.
