‘College Life’
The Life of an Intramural Soccer Player
Apr. 7, 2012—Before coming to college, I was in the best shape of my life. For me, anyways.

ASB “Hangin’ Around” in Kyle, South Dakota and Area
Mar. 23, 2012—*Co-authored by Samantha Orland* For Alternative Spring Break this year, we went to Kyle, South Dakota to live on the Pine Ridge reservation of the Lakota Sioux and to assist in a local elementary school.
