A recap of posts for the class of 2020 Raleigh Fellows. I know what you are thinking…did one of my blog posts get picked? What memories is this going to bring back? Or maybe your name is Ashley Crutchfield and you are beyond excited that another blog post is being written!!!
Anyways, let’s get on to the review. You just need to make me one promise. Do not scroll down to look at the pictures until you have finished reading the review.
This post came at the end of the year. Times were hard with almost everyone separated and back home while coronavirus swept through the nation. There were moments of hope like when Cecil got married to queen Darby, when Berkley, Horace, Eugene, and Cecil started grad school, and people finding places to live in Raleigh. This post came with some waves, tears and injuries, but also with laughter, dancing in the rain, a new friend Julia, and Ratatouille. This post brought us all together again and provided some closure in a time of chaos. Glamping at its finest. WELCOME TO THE KRAHNKES!
This post is a bit older, but definitely resonates with me and a few others. This post is from the real Death Valley where the Clemson Tigers play. Now while they ultimately ended up losing to some knockoff bayou tigers playing in the fake death valley the biggest shame is that Clemson will not have the chance to reclaim the national championship trophy with college football in the fall of 2020 being in jeopardy. This particular picture was taken in the fall of 2018, the last Clemson game I have sat in the stands and watch. However, I had the pleasure of watching this blowout against FSU with my brother and a couple of his friends. Following this game Clemson went on to destroy South Carolina (not USC cause lawsuits) and then blow out Alabama in the title game.
This last post is in honor of a 30 year drought being broken. One of the the most storied clubs in England ended their title drought in historic fashion. This particular post is of the goal post at Anfield, oh and Roberto Firmino scoring a no look goal against Arsenal. Why is this post in here? Well it brought me joy that soccer (football) could return so that there are live sports on TV and there is also a beautiful message in Liverpool’s Anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. It’s the beautiful game and it brings a smile to my face. If you’ve gotten to this point, thank you for humoring me and I hope this brings you at least a little bit of joy today.
