Thankgiving

Every year most people will do something to show just how thankful they are for in some way or another. Some people do it verbally, and others over social media. However one trend that stays the same is while we take Thanksgiving as a time to let people know how #blessed we are, we only share the love during this season. Why do we all wait to post and share our gratitudes until the end of the year, when I guarantee that you are thankful for the people in your life everyday. It doesn’t take a long Facebook post or some sappy spoken words to let them know you are glad they are in your life. It is really just as easy as saying “Thank you” when someone holds the door open for you. Or not complaining when the overworked barista at Starbucks spells your name wrong. Being thankful doesn’t have to be a once-a-year thing. Show the people  you love that you love them by simply doing small things all year. Although it is not the new year yet and although we haven’t passed Christmas. I am already making my New Year’s Resolution to show people I am #blessed that they are a part of my life all year in 2016.

Today, as I drove home to start my thanksgiving break I thought. I though about how thankful I am to have an amazing school with a major I am so passionate about. And how thankful I am that school is only 45 short minutes away from home. How thankful I am to be a Husker wether we win or lose on Friday. I am thankful for the flat lands of Nebraska so I can truly appreciate sunsets like these.

It was so much fun getting to take my first ever photo shoot! Im so happy with the way they are turning out and it helps that the model was so great! 

Its nice knowing that something you love is actually something you can do to make money too.

This is possibly my favorite show ever. I love the writing for the show and how it combines both the playful comedy but also is relevant news.

Game Week: BYU (2015)

Before we go making jokes and saying lots of swear words, a quick note. 

The few people who know me and know my secret identity have asked me a lot over the last several months if I planned to keep writing these comics. For a long time, the answer was “no.” I didn’t want to recycle jokes and stretch to make this thing work for the new staff. That would be the “Saved by the Bell: The New Class” approach. I wasn’t interested. I even wrote a lengthy “goodbye letter” to post here. Mrs. Shame looked it over. She was a little sad. I was a little sad. I love writing these comics! And for some reason, I just couldn’t bring myself to post that letter.

So I waited.

As the summer wore on and that aforementioned common question kept popping up, I started wondering what it would be like to write it. In the era of vitriol that was Bo Pelini’s tenure, we needed to laugh. In the infancy era of the Mike Riley honeymoon (he’s a good guy! he beat Oregon once!), we probably also need to laugh. 

So I took out my Husker pictures and a couple of IPA’s and I wrote. When I was done, I didn’t hate it.

And that’s going to be the way TWOS is done from here on out. I’m not going to make a post every week anymore which I think will (a) keep me from getting worn out and (b) keep the comics fresh and fun. I don’t know how many I’ll do this year. 3? 6? 11? We’ll just see how it goes. 

But making some jokes about the Huskers is still very much a thing I want to do, at least sometimes. 

Today in the Tunnel, the new staff arrives, the old players adjust, and Imani makes someone wet their Depends. Oh, and Mike Riley learns a new word.

Thanks for stopping in. It’s great to be back. Let’s do this.

I first found out about TWOs from a friend my freshman year. I have followed him every year, every season since. Not only are the comics witty and clever but the “letter” before each comic is equally as well written. I know I am one of many that are glad he is back. Even if it is just a few comics instead of one every week. I may not know who the man behind the comics is. But I’m not sure I would want to either.

A Sample Of My Work.

Freshman year is the year for getting out of the house and gaining all that freedom! Joining clubs and making friends! There are so many expectations that freshmen have coming in lets take a look at what really happens. They move in with the parents and have everything on all of the “What to take to college” check-lists. All of this stuff takes two cars to get it all here but they are hashtag prepared. They become best friends with their roommate, floormates, the floor above them and below them for the first semester, but by second semester they’ve made friends other places so their floor becomes irrelevant. They walk out the door for their first day of classes wearing their lanyard and brand new “Traditions” t-shirt ready to go. In their backpack they have a notebook and folder for each class, color coded of course. A calculator “just incase,” a whole box of fresh new mechanical pencils and that brand new knock-off CamelBak water bottle. You know this because they recently instagrammed their new school supplies with the hashtag first day of school, hashtag lets do this, hashtag UNL. They are always the ones taking all the spots in the loved “T” zone of class and even though you may be 5 minutes early they still beat you. Their trusty map helped them arrive promptly 10 minutes early. When you arrive you notice they already have papers on their desk. What are the papers? Syllabuses. Syllabi? I’ll probably learn that eventually. In class they are eager to list their activities they did in high school when the professor asks to state your name, where you are from, major, and what you are involved in. Somehow even during syllabus week they manage to always have their hand up asking some type of question. Once class is over they manage to constantly be on the wrong side of the sidewalk because they are getting yet another pair of free knock-off Ray-ban sunglasses for signing every signup sheet and end up getting involved with things like squirrel watching club because it’s college and that sounds awesome! If you have ever wondered why the dining halls are always busy it’s because freshmen are out on their own and have to work on that freshman 50! I mean 15. After a semester of this they tend to get it figured out but the instant they get back on campus as a sophomore they look back and wonder how they could have been like that or claim they were more prepared for that. But sophomores are another topic for another time.

This is a throwback but I came across the website I made last year and wanted to share it with all of you! 

[laurenhelen]

Hello Everyone! I’m back! We recently had some severe storms that ended up flooding my hometown and even shut down a near by town. Over 6 feet of water came through that town. Even in Lincoln there was damage. Many roads and even parts of the interstates were closed. I took this as the perfect opportunity to go out and take some gorgeous pictures. Coming home with muddy legs was totally worth it!
