I am an English major and will be getting a minor in Human Relations here at Iowa. I am heading into my senior year and am scared out of my mind to leave the tiny confines of Iowa City (so if there is anyone out there looking for a future employer please do let me know!). I am a huge sports fan, especially of the Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, Chicago White Sox and of course our beloved Hawkeyes. Along with that, I am one of the founding members of the Hawks Nest (the official student fan section for all Hawkeye athletics). I currently sit as the Director of Public Relations on that board and am very passionate about getting as many fans as we can to support all of Iowa&#8217;s athletic teams.<\/p>\n<p>I always wanted to attend a Big Ten university growing up, but I decided to follow my &#8220;hoop&#8221; dreams after high school, so I decided to attend St. Ambrose University in Davenport. After a few short weeks, I knew I belonged at Iowa (my first choice), so I transferred after one short year. Once I hit UI&#8217;s campus my sophomore year I never looked back.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for checking out my blog everyone and as always, GO HAWKS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Jerry, and I&#8217;m from the &#8220;little big town&#8221; of Plainfield Illinois (the once &#8220;plain&#8221; field is conveniently located about 35 minutes south west of Chicago).
