About a month ago I tried out for the women\u2019s intermural basketball team and ended up making the varsity women\u2019s basketball team here! This has by far turned out to be the most positive, fun, and phenomenal experience I could have ever wished for while studying abroad in New Zealand! Joining the Otago University (OU) women\u2019s basketball team has allowed me to meet a bunch of other female athletes like myself who love basketball and are passionate about health and fitness. We\u2019ve all really bonded well as a team, and have yet to loose any games!
\nThus far, we have won three games and have one each week until the end of the semester. It\u2019s been really great to meet a group of girls who I can play basketball with, and hangout with on the weekends. There are a lot of basketball social events with other teams from the league and the men\u2019s varsity teams, so it\u2019s been a great way to meet many more athletes. It\u2019s really going to be hard to leave OU and leave the team and my teammates behind. We\u2019ve all become and incredibly close team on and off the court, and leaving these girls is definitely going to be the hardest part about leaving New Zealand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
