To my SU Volleyball family


This weekend marked the 7th year in a row that the Southwestern University volleyball team has played in the NCAA Division III National tournament. It was also the last weekend of the season and of the collegiate careers of the senior class of 2012. Christina, Lindsay, Jill, Sarai, Taylor, Julie, and Mariad, I'm SO PROUD of y'all. I know the season didn't end on the note you would've liked, but you had an incredible season and an incredible four years. Audra, Reese, LB, Sam, and I (OS4L!! haha) never really had a class directly underneath us so y'all were the ones we were closest with. I don't think we could've found a group with whom we got along better. We had the same retarded sense of humor. You guys seemed to like all the same movies and youtube videos as all of us and I'm pretty sure the whole world knew it considering how much time we spent shouting out quotes from them. Let's be honest, pretty much all the one-liners we had were from movies and youtube videos.

On that note, I would like to make a list of some of my favorite SU volleyball moments. Sorry for anyone who's reading this who was not a part of SU volleyball as this will probably not make any sense or be funny. In fact, you should probably just scroll down to the next section and click on the links to our favorite youtube vids.

In no particular order...
  • Our retarded pregame warmup games that made everyone in the stands laugh at us
  • Having a friend who spent just as much time wiping sweat off the floor as I did...thanks Christopher!
  • "Excuse me, have you seen the concession stand?" /moustaches
  • Competitive practices/the point system/"I HATE YOU."
  • Team handball
  •  "Maybe if you weren't so rude I'd tell you you had something green in your teeth!"
  • The Stormy Petrels/getting petrelled/My petrel family/eeeEEEEEE
  • ZWIGINGTON/strategically placing our water bottles on the railing above the handicapped sign/chest bumping
  • OH HELLOOOOO!
  • Being a "beautiful Egyptian woman"
  • The Pants Party
  • Lucky socks, sports bras, unwashed kneepads,and of course leg hairs
  • Fabio
  • Show and Throws
  • Making "That's what she said" jokes at inappropriate times and then holding back laughter so as not to interrupt the instruction of drills/"It's not about how fast it goes, it's about how deep you can push it" HAHAHAHHA
  • Sitting in the back of the van
  • Listening to the same stories over and over and OVER again
  • Watching Audra become a pro at Coach-on-one's right before our eyes
  • The Amazing Race conditioning day...the second time around just wasn't quite as fun as I remembered it being the first time haha
  • Middle parts and deep voices
  • Boots with the fur
  • Eating wayyy too much/commons recruitment lunches/y'all always sneaking me into the commons for dinner
  • Nike shorts and white T's
  • Rock, paper, scissors
  • Failing at cooperative drills and only wanting competitive drills
  • Paper plate awards at the end of season
  • The quote wall
  • My photoshopped picture of LB's face on Carmen Electra's body (in a thong) taped to her locker which she couldn't take off haha
  • Being first-hand witnesses to how smelly the soccer girls were
  • Olga & Gretta...& Hans
  • YEAH BUCS!
...and soooo many more that I didn't write down!

And just in case y'all have forgotten about these gems, I would like to include a list of some of our favorite and most quoted youtube videos. Hope they bring back as many memories for y'all as they do for me bahahaha
I just laughed so hard from watching those that I made myself cry. AAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Thank you, class of 2012, for making the two years we spent together as a part of SU volleyball so memorable. I hope your last two were just as great as your first two with us! Again, congrats on an amazing 4 years and I miss y'all SO much! LOVE YOU MEAN IT :)
