It's Day 2 of my YOHO Top 10 countdown, and here are #8 and #7...two great spots on campus where I found myself spending a majority of my time when I wasn't practicing or sleeping. Check 'em out!
8. Athletic Facilities and The Landing
One of the many benefits of being a Student-Athlete was the wonderful facilities that we are SO blessed to use everyday. Countless workouts have been done in our top notch weight room, beautiful sand court, and the indoor Hawks field. We also have climbed the stairs of Memorial Stadium a time or two, and if anyone is wondering...there's 97 steps to the top.
Don't worry, I've double checked.
The Sports Nutrition at Nebraska is phenomenal and I am truly going to miss The Landing. For those of you that don't know, The Landing is probably the greatest snack shop that has existed. Ever. It has everything an athlete dreams of...whether it be you recovery after a workout, fuel up for the next one, or just that sip of gatorade when you need it. I made sure I made a little stop by this bad boy everyday to grab vitamins, post-workout fuel, and a snack for later. It has saved my life (literally, hunger wise) many times!
Don't worry, I've double checked.

7. The Hew
Speaking of food, I am going to miss dining at the Hewit! They always served the most delicious meals that were ready for me when I came straight from class or practice. What more could a girl ask for? Well, Mom's cooking every night...but this held me over ;)
The Training Table was also a place for socialization with teammates and other athletes, and gave me the lunch break I needed before embarking on another study burst or sitting through a couple more classes. There's still not a clock in there, so we always end up spending a little more time than usual... and I'm perfectly ok with that ;) I listed some of my favorite foods I will dearly miss below, and please let me know if I left any out!

-Tri-color Tortellini
-Wild Rice and Chicken with Teriyaki sauce
-Banana and Vanilla Wafer pudding
-Fresh fruit galore
-Sweet potatoes...in every form
-Fajita/taco Thursdays
-The sandwich line (and the ladies who know my order)
-Thanksgiving dinner (but not the 5 pounds that came with it)
-Baked potato bar
-Coffee and lattes
The Hewit became one of my favorite places to study. It was so nice to have so many options for a quiet place to get some work done in such a beautiful new facility. The computer lab and Shawn were lifesavers on many occasions, you never had to look far to find a plug-in, and I always enjoyed the challenge of finding the best secret spot to nap :)
I don't think any of us realize how blessed we are to be able to workout, study, and hang out in these facilities everyday. It's no wonder we have had so many Academic All-Americans and a high graduation and eligibility exhaustion rate. Like they say...there really is NO place like Nebraska.
To be continued...
