About Emily »

I'm a Freshman at The Ohio State University majoring in History/Pre-Education, but who knows how long that will last.

Sports have always been my life. Football is by far my favorite. The Ohio State Buckeyes obviously have my heart, and my NFL team would have to be the Giants. I'm pretty excited for this college football season, mainly because I am a Block O Season Ticket Holder. It's ok you can be jealous. =]
