Looking Forward to the Weekend!

 

I can hardly wait for this weekend! I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now, and it’s finally almost here. So many fun things are happening, and I’m ready to fast-forward a few days. From our final OAC game and daylight savings to Halloween parties and celebrating my 21st birthday, I am beyond excited for what’s to come!

First up, we have our last OAC game against John Carroll, who is ranked in the top 25 and is definitely our biggest rival. This game means a lot to us, and I’m eager to see how we perform. The energy will be high, and I know everyone will give their all. Our games against JCU are notoriously intense because they are our biggest rivals. Historically, it’s been John Carroll and us that usually win the OAC every year, which makes our rivalry even stronger. I hope we can beat John Carroll and kick off a fantastic weekend!

After the game, we’re heading to a Halloween party on Saturday night. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I love the decorations, the costumes and, the overall fun atmosphere. This year, I’m dressing up as a pilgrim with one of my best friends. Most of the guys in my class are also going for historical figures. My roommate is going as Davy Crockett, while others are dressing up as presidents like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and, Abraham Lincoln. I can’t wait to see how funny everyone will look in their costumes!

This weekend is also special for me because it’s my 21st birthday on Saturday! Turning 21 is a big deal, and while I’m excited, it’s also a bit bittersweet. I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. It feels like just yesterday I was starting college, and now here I am, officially an adult. I’m looking forward to this new chapter, but it’s hard not to think about how quickly the years have passed.

My whole family and many friends will be coming to celebrate, which means a lot to me. I’m especially looking forward to trying my first drink at the Regal Beagle. It feels surreal to finally celebrate this milestone. Plus, they’ll have a live DJ that night, which means dancing and enjoying time with everyone I care about.

As I reflect on this weekend, I think about how much I’ve changed over the years. I remember when Halloween meant trick-or-treating as a kid, and now I get to celebrate with friends and family. I love the sense of community that comes with Halloween, and this year feels particularly special as I turn 21.

To top it all off, it’s also daylight-saving time on Saturday night, so we’ll gain an extra hour! That just makes this weekend even better. With a mix of Halloween parties, a big soccer match and, my birthday celebrations, I know this weekend will be one to remember.

Overall, I can’t wait for everything to kick off. It’s going to be a weekend filled with rivalry, celebration and, great memories. I’m ready to create moments that will last a lifetime alongside my friends and family!
