Brittany's Blurb

Hey everyone! This is going to be super short, sorry! For the past week and this week I have had an internship so I literally have not been on a computer in over a week due to where I am staying. But, the internship is rocking and I can't wait to share some of my experiences with you. In the next couple of days (if some computer problems are overcome) I should be able to post a blog. Thanks for your time, man has the past week has gone fast! Talk to you soon.

Have a great day!

Throughout this entire summer there is one e-mail that I have been impatiently waiting for. Senior sport assignments. As an athletic training senior we, my classmates and I, are assigned to a sport and work with that sport for their entire season rather than having 5 week rotations. Well, today was the day. I opened my inbox and there it was. Naturally, my computer decided to take its pretty time to download the file but it is official. I am a senior athletic training student with a senior sport. The sport that I have been assigned is one that I requested so I’m really excited and nervous to start! It really makes the upcoming year seem so close at hand and real!

Getting ready for each year has been different. Last summer I was in Chicago and came back one week before school started. I spent that week working with the football team during two-a-days. Going into the school year I felt tired, but this year I’m already super energized and excited. I’m going to need to brush up on some of my injury evaluations and rehabilitation techniques. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be studying something I did not enjoy! Choosing a major can be so intimidating. It worked out well for me because I knew what I was passionate about and what my strengths were. Athletic training just fit.

Four years ago I dreamed of this day (as well as many others). Here it is. I have had a blast being in college and am so glad that I have one more year! Enjoy where you are, people, enjoy where you are. Even if its not ideal it will be over before you realize! All we can do is look forward to tomorrow and enjoy today. I look forward to sharing with you guys the ups and downs of this next year. Talk to you soon!

Have a great day!

One of the little joys of life that I really look forward to is getting a new journal. It only happens every few years (I’m not as dedicated to recording my life as some), but when it does, it rocks! Picking out the journal is half the fun. There are so many choices; I remember choosing the journal that I have now. Initially I thought it was ugly, but when I saw that is was made in Spain I got it because I was an exchange student there for a month while in high school. Even now I think it’s not the prettiest, but whenever I see the “Made in Spain” label all kinds of good memories come back. The first time I open a new journal my excitement level totally goes up. There is an empty book that soon will start to be filled by all kinds of new adventures that I have no idea are going to happen! That is a little like how I feel right now.

Starting this blog is exciting because currently there are no blogs on my page, but soon there will be blogs talking about experiences that I have no clue about! I’m excited to share them with you. If you are a prospective student, I hope that you can learn from my experiences and also learn about what a great school UNC is. If you are a current student, maybe you can relate to my experiences and hopefully get a laugh out of some (prospective, you guys can laugh too)! Either way, I hope you guys will enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.

Like my bio says, I am a second year senior majoring in Sport and Exercise Science with an emphasis in Athletic Training and a double minor in nutrition and Spanish. My first year of college I went to a small liberal arts college in Sterling, Kansas; it was a great school and a wonderful experience but it wasn’t where I was supposed to be for the rest of my college years. So, I transferred to UNC. The primary reason I chose UNC was because we have an amazing athletic training program; it was and still is important to me to go to a school with a reputable program. However, once I got to school I fell in love with everything else that UNC has to offer like a diverse campus, medium size, and great professors that want to help you succeed.

I hope you feel like you know me a little more and I hope I can get to know you too. Here we go!

Have a great day!
