Basketball!

Conference basketball for Gardner-Webb is starting up this semester, and it should be another great year for our Runnin’ Bulldogs. Students are looking forward to the home games we have for this season, two of which have already been played. We lost to UNC-Asheville early in the semester, but manhandled Coastal Carolina just last week. It should prove to be another great season of men’s basketball. Intramural basketball is also in full swing now, and our first game is this Wednesday. Our team, L3, is going to have a great year judging by our line-up. More than anything, it is just fun to compete with other teams in the league, but we hope to take home the bragging rights this season.

Christmas Vacation

We’re back at Gardner-Webb after break now for another spring semester in Boiling Springs. It’s good to be back and see familiar faces, but I can say that after this Christmas break, I was reluctant to leave carefree life and get back to the daily grind of classes and work. On the day after exams some friends and I headed to Charleston to embark on a seven day cruise to the Bahamas. I can honestly say it was the most fun vacation I have ever had. The combination of great weather, delicious food, the islands, and fun people made it an unforgettable trip. It was definitely weird getting back to real life back in the U.S., but it was nice to see family and friends from home. Being home for the holidays is always refreshing and this time around didn’t disappoint. After New Years had come and gone, some of my hall mates and I spent a week at a cabin in the mountains for one last hoorah before classes started. It was a great end to a great break. Now we’re all back at GWU, and it’s looking to be a great semester so far!
