My name is Chase Davis, and I am a sophomore at HSU. I am studying sports management here and hope
to one day be an athletic director or be involved in a sports organization in
some way shape or form. I have lived in
Sheridan, Arkansas for all years of my life and graduated from Sheridan High
School in 2013. There, I played baseball
for 4 years and lettered 3 of the years.
During my senior year, I decided to go play baseball at Williams Baptist
College. While there I hurt my shoulder
and decided not to continue playing and transferred to Henderson. I am an only child, even though sometimes I
had thought I wanted a sibling, but that always very short lived. I enjoy being with my friends and having a
good time with them. College has been a
struggle at times, especially my freshman year, but I have managed to find a
routine and a system that works. This
blog will be about the college life and how to survive it. Many kids in my opinion don’t have the right
approach to college. Some don’t take it
seriously or don’t care, while others seem to care too much and spend all their
time studying. To me there needs to be a perfect balance of
studying and having fun, because being able to kick back and relax without
worrying about homework is a good thing.
Too much stress is just as bad for the body as eating unhealthy food or
drinking alcohol. Money management is
also a hot topic for college kids because many of us are on tight budgets, while
others have parents that can pay for everything. I myself am on a tight budget, but also have
a little parent assistance. Many college
kids can’t afford to eat out for every meal, because it is too expensive as
well as unhealthy. Also others can’t afford
to pay rent on an apartment or house so that they can cook every night. Many of us broke college kids are forced to
take out student loans, and get meal plans at the cafeteria, and quite frankly
eating the same thing all the time gets old and it gets old quick. These are just a few of the topics that I can
discus on this blog, and will try to hit as many of them as I can.
Congratulation on lettering in baseball 3 years! That is an awesome achievement. I think the theme of your blog is a great one becuase it is important to have an efficient schedule. The balance of work and play in college is highly important and I also think that some people don't take it seriously enough.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily: I think your blog will be a great one because it will address things that college students need to think about and give information that many will appreciate.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on lettering in baseball! But I'm sorry that you got hurt while playing. Did you stop completely or do you still play?
Thank you Emily and Maddy both for the positive comments. To Maddy, I quit playing completely because i tore a ligament in my shoulder that causes a lot of pain to throw.
