My playlist includes folk, country, rock, and hip-hop. The theme I saw with all the genres and songs is that they all incorporated dancing into their titles.  I chose this theme because I like to dance around and have a good time but I also think dancing can be very intement if you have a special person to dance with. Some of the songs like Lady Gaga and Milky Chance have a more upbeat rhythm to it. The other songs I chose for this playlist are a little more meanful and are meant dance with someone special to you. The playlist has a different range of genres and sounds which makes them all different in some way although they are all about dancing of some sort.  Folk-  Emmylou Harris- Save the Last Dance For Me  https://youtu.be/wC5BN24LcHk  This song ties to the theme of dance because the song talks about saving the last dance for some one special. I chose it because my dad used to play it for me when I was young. I love this song because it just reminds me of t...

 https://www.hdwallpapers.in/cool_beach-wallpapers.html The drive to Fort Myers Beach is an episode that I have every weekend if we do not have practice or games. The drive is an experience itself to go along with the adventures we end up having at the beach.  I gather up my willing teammates on our days off and ask them if they want to go to the beach. Most of them turn down this offer but a few think it's a good idea and come along. We pack up our beach essentials which include a chair, a cooler, sunblock, and a speaker of course! We load up the Jeep and off we go fifteen minutes down the road. The beach is about five miles from the dorms, where we live, so it is nice to be a driving distance away from the beach. Right before you approach the bridge we hit traffic. What is Florida without traffic, it would not be Florida. A quick green light flips to red and I slam on my breaks. I hear laughs from my teammates and I look over and she dumped her water bottle all in the floorb...

  Taking One for the Team BY  SARA HOLBROOK We practiced together, sweat and stained. We pummeled each other and laughed off pain. Teams may disagree, may tease, may blame. Teams may bicker and whine, but get down for the game. You had my back. We fought the fight. And though our score was less last night, we're walking tall. Our team came through and stuck together like Crazy Glue. I'm proud to say I lost with you. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/58548/taking-one-for-the-team  The message I took away from reading this poem was a college team or in my situation my softball team at Florida SouthWestern. Right off the bat, the first line stuck out because we practice as a team for six days a week. We have gone through conditioning, lifts, and hours of practice with each other but at the end of the day, we all went through it. We all struggled during the day at some point. We have had our differences throughout the day. We are all on the same team and we treat each ot...

  A piece of domestic architecture that really fascinates me is how the City Of Palms is set up. This is a baseball and softball stadium for the FSW softball and baseball team. It was originally the Red Sox spring training facility but FSW took over in 2014. This building can seat up to 8,000 people. The City of Palms building itself has multiple rooms includes press boxes and club seating. the architecture is shaped in a "U" form because it outlines the baseball field that sits in the middle of the building. Surrounded by palm trees and gates, the facility stands three stories tall. The way the rooms are divided up is there are two parts on the inside of the building. One on the outside which is what you see above, and then the inside section where the fans sit, press boxes, and others. In between these two sections of the building is a pathway with three entryways to the stands, concession stands, and public restrooms. I think it is designed very organized and convenient fo...
