I have always been a big golfer and I have the opportunity to play college golf next year which will be really fun. The University of North Dakota is the perfect school for me due to it having good class sizes and a lot of people I can relate to. Being able to go into college with a group of buddies already cemented will be really fun and also good and not as stressful. Obviously I'll meet new people which will be fun. Being able to travel around the country playing the game you love and competing for your college is special. There is just something about it that makes me want to win more. I can't wait to get up there and compete to win.

It's crazy to think that it's already May and I have less than a month of school to go. It feels like yesterday I was a freshman in high school or I was in 3rd grade even. Time flies... But now I just finished up my final high school dance let me tell you it was a good time. A lot of people in my high school that I talk to weekly I might never see again after graduation its crazy to think about but its th reality. Being able to enjoy prom was definitely a highlight of the year. First I played golf in the morning with a friend of mine then I had a golf lesson with my coach. SO it was already a jammed packed day. I had to rush to get changed when I arrived home which led to a quick departure to pick up my date and go to pictures. We ended up taking pictures in two spots one with her friends and another with mine. Then we had dinner with a large group of my friends which was super fun and the food tasted amazing. After dinner we went on the boat which was where the dance was. The boat was located on the St. Croix River which was cool to be on a large boat. The best part is that there were three levels and you could go to the upper level which was outside because the boat was pretty warm inside. Spending the night with my friends was super fun and it was great to dance and have a good time.

Mother's Day always is fun to me because appreciating what my mom does for me is always good. No matter what happens in life ititss important to remember those who are closest to you. She did however wake up not feeling the best which is unfortunate but eventually her soar throat faded. She wanted to go hit some golf balls so we did that then I took her to lunch at one of her favorite taverns. It was super nice to be with my mom for the day and just talk about life. Later we went home and hung out and watched a tv series we are both into called prison break. After watching a few episodes of that we made a lovely dinner. It was so nice to enjoy each other for the day and be able to talk to my mom all day. Im very happy for mothers day.

Man it was windy today. We were fortunate to have our home invite yet again at the White Bear Yacht Club. This is our fourth year in a row where we are fortunate to be out there. It was a wild day today. I ended up getting 7th and shooting 75 there is definitely some room for improvement in there. I totaled 5 3 putts on the round as well as an ob ball on hole 11 due to a miss club. Other than that I hit the ball pretty solid it was just so tough into the wind. Our team had an up and down day as well, we started out dead last through 4 holes and then ended up rallying back and shooting a total of 308 to win by 2 shots which was very fun. I will miss this team especially since I'm going off to college next year. Tournaments like the one today are the things I will miss the most just grinding through a round to get a team win. It truly is the hardest game in the world.

Easter is one of those holidays for me that happens then you get to August or so and just totally forget what you did the past easter. Im not sure why but it's just always been that way. This year we had this lovely brunch with my entire family and it was so good. They had omelets, fresh fruit, meats, deserts, and just about anything you could want. It was so nice to enjoy a great meal and with everyone. Later I went to my girlfriends side of the family and played easter bingo and won some good prizes and ate more food. I truly ate so much that day. Then I went back to my family's side and had dinner with all of them and celebrated Christ rising from the dead. It was one I won't forget.

Senior year always has some ap classes for a lot of people. I was able to complete my pottery portfolio as well as My AP Statistics test. The test was honestly not as difficult as I thought. The multiple choice was the hardest part for me. Just remembering all the little stuff through the 12 chapters throughout the year is tough for me. As students a lot of times we learn something then after the test we just flush it all down the toilet. It's a really weird concept we do as students or humans in general its like If its not gonna be needed we just forget about it. As for my pottery class we submitted a portfolio of our work and or me this included little cups or big vases that took days to make. The artistic design was complex forms with complex textures on the pots. I have always loved pottery and I'm sad that it's coming to an end.

Golf is a very hard game and being able to get really good at it is very hard. Having the ability to shoot a really low score is awesome but the problem with that is when you aren't doing that it's difficult mentally. Its such a mental game and mastering that is super difficult to me. Being able to realize its just a game and its just high school golf should be easy but its hard because I want to perform so badly that when its not going good I'm super negative. Im not totally sure why but hitting the ball well then putting like an idiot and shooting 76 isn't that fun to me. Just gotta grind.

Senior year is supposed to be really fun and in the process fun normally means money. Our golf team fundraised for a trip to go to Arizona to get ready for the golf season. Myself and 6 other teammates had the opportunity to go to Tucson Arizona. We played 4 rounds of golf and stayed in an Air BNB which was super spacious and had a big tv for march madness. Playing with some of my senior friends was by far the highlight because we only have so much time left together before we are off and away from each other. We all got our reps in and had a red eye flight home. It got delayed many hours and was a pain to get back home but when I arrived home my bed has never felt so nice.

This Spring break I got the gift of being able to go to the Dominican Republic and get some warm weather. Having the opportunity to meet new people and enjoy my friends and family for a week long stay. We golfed at some high level golf courses as well as enjoyed the beach and waves of the blue ocean. The meals were spectacular we had seafood, steaks, and great pasta. Enjoying time with my family before I had to college is so important to me and enjoying that time was very special.
