My Favorite Things to do Downtown!

I enjoy doing myriad things Downtown; however, my favorite things to do would have to be going to the sports games or entertainment at Chase Field or going to spend an evening at the Arizona Center!

I look forward to watching the Arizona Diamondbacks games at Chase Field and I always try to attend at least one game during the season! It's much better watching a baseball game in person with all the noise and excitement then watching it on your T.V. screen at home. There are approximately ten games coming up in April so get out and have some fun!

Another event that I attend every year at Chase Field is Supercross!! This event is always keeping me on the edge of my seat the entire time! It's exciting to watch these Motocross riders fighting hard for a spot in the final race! This year I was unable to attend Supercross because I was ill; however, my husband had suite seats to all the action! We were rooting for Dungey to win it all! He surprised everyone by taking the lead and winning Supercross, I heard it was an amazing race! So don't miss out on this event that takes place during the middle of January every year!



Other events offered at Chase Field are musical entertainment by famous artists, International soccer games, USHRA Monster Jam, and more!



Spending an evening at the Arizona Center can also be very enjoyable. The Arizona Center has several great restaurants and AMC Movie Theatres. I love awesome food and a great movie so this is my idea of a fun evening! It's convenient to go to the Arizona Center because you are only traveling to one place opposed to having to go to dinner at one place and then to the movies somewhere else. So when your sitting around at home with nothing to do, get some friends together and have dinner and a movie at the Arizona Center!!

I hope I was able to give you some tips on fun things to do Downtown! Don't miss out on what Downtown has to offer!

Have a great day!

My Final Semester as a Sun Devil

This semester is off to an awesome start! All of the classes I signed up for this last semester are interesting and rewarding. I'm excited to learn more about the topics of crime prevention, domestic violence, psychology, community relations, and marriage/family relationships. Each class has started to teach me about many important issues in the criminal justice system and in life. These classes are preparing me for my future as an agent in the system. I can't believe this will be my last semester at Arizona State University before I graduate in May. You guessed it! I am most excited to graduate with my Bachelor's degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice this Spring! In high school, I remember talking about what I wanted to do with my life and how excited I was to go to ASU! Now, my journey is almost over. I believe that I made the best of my college years! I can truly look back after graduation and say that I enjoyed my classes, I worked hard, and I was involved with the university in many ways. I realize graduation is still a little over three months away but when you have been waiting for that day for almost four years, it only seems as if its three days away! The last three and three-fourths years here at ASU went by extremely fast! I have already begun the process of choosing my career and applying for positions in the legal field. I'm most excited to begin my career and make a difference in our society through the criminal justice system! I can't wait!

I can't say that I am dreading anything about this semester because I'm so close to reaching the goal I have aimed for my entire life! Although it's hard work being a college student, constantly reading, studying, taking tests, and preparing for projects, I have enjoyed it all! It's a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget! I made the best of my four years in college and I hope you all do the same!
