I am extremely excited to be writing my first blog of the year and share my experiences. Here at SLU we have the wonderful opportunity to become active members of campus with over 100 student clubs and organizations. One of the organizations which I am apart of on campus is Male Athletes Against Sexual Violence (MAASV). The goal of the organization is to create awareness about sexual violence and the role that males can have in preventing it. This past Friday, we had the first MAASV barbecue of the year. It was a chance for students on campus to come and meet some of the members and also enjoy some great free food while learning about MAASV.

It really has been perfect weather for a BBQ almost everyday so far this semester but I am excited about the start of fall. It really is a beautiful time of the year here at St. Lawrence. I still can’t believe the end of September is almost here; the first month of school has really flown by. One of the reasons for that is because all my classes are really great and interesting this semester. I'm officially taking my last required course for my psychology major and it's really hard to believe. As we near the beginning of October the thing that first comes to mind is the start of basketball season, which is on October 15. All the guys on the team are getting really excited and we've been taking full advantage of the athletic facilities here at SLU to get ready. Also to pass the time we have decided to partake in some Intramural football. You can here all about that in next week’s blog!
