As the second semester of my senior year approaches, I reflect on how far I’ve come since my freshman year. Three and a half years ago I didn’t have the slightest clue of what to expect or what college basketball truly entailed. I was under the naive impression that my sport and my education were completely separate. My first season here proved how one aspect of my life can effect another. I learned quickly to manage my time, do what I can to reduce my stress, and to never take what I have for granted.
