Just Close Your Eyes (Christian) by Waterproof Blonde

I am a huge fan of Professional Wrestling and it is something that has been a part of my family for a very long time.

This album is one of my favorites and a very early memory of mine. My dad and I would listen to this album and play games and I think about that a lot now that I am on my own. I also used the quote "In the darkness, light will take you to the other side, and find me waiting there you'll see if you just close your eyes" from this song as my senior quote.

I was born in October of 2004 to Rachel Nikirk and Mike Heady. They would marry the next month and we lived together for about 8 years. When they divorced in 2012, I went to live with my grandparents Randy and Valarie. Them along with my mom have been my support system throughout my entire life.

In late 2013 my mom remarried to a man named Mike Morrison, and they have been married ever since. Despite my personal differences with him, I respect what he did to help raise me.

A personal favorite from the NBA 2K11 Soundtrack, it was one of the songs that got me in the sports atmosphere.

My junior year of high school I was apart of one of the best marching band my school has ever put together. The title of that show? Out of The Woods. And yes, we did use the song in the show.

Music is a very important part of my life. Not only as a musician but also just a fan of music in general. It has gotten me through so many rough patches of my life, and it has also been with me during the highest of times.

Going back to the soundtracks I would hear in games such as NBA 2K11 and Madden 2005, to new releases such as Kool-Aid by Bring Me the Horizon, music has always been important and will continue to be throughout the rest of my life. I joined band my freshman year of high school and even thought it was rough at the beginning and it getting cancelled due to Covid, I still fell in love with it, and I am currently apart of the Xavier Pep-Band.

I played Basketball for 8 years off and on and it was definitely a blast. I got close with my friends and I even managed to break the single game rebounding record during my sophomore year of high school with 28 rebounds.

Unfortunately, due to injuries, band, and the ever-looming fear of Covid, I decided to stop playing basketball after that season. However, I will never forget all of the good times and great memories it has brought me.

Along with playing Basketball, I also played Hockey. My school did not have a hockey team because Indiana is not a very big hockey state, rather I had to play for a local team and I was able to travel the Tri-State area and play other independently ran teams.

My fandom for Hockey started pretty late and I was only able to play Ice hockey for about 8 months before the aforementioned injuries, band, and Covid took over my life. It was still a fantastic time and I have been able to use some of that knowledge and skill and transfer it to the Xavier Field Hockey team!

Sports in general were able to pick me up from some rough patches in life and help me gain the discipline to get through those times. I will always be grateful for what my former coaches and teammates have done for me and how they have shaped me to become who I am today.

My friends have been sort of my backbone for the last 12 months. After having difficulties with a different group of friends, these are the people that helped me gain trust in people again. They have help support me through so many things and I cannot thank them enough for that.

They are some of the people I miss the most and I always look forward to going back home and getting the opportunity to hang out with them. They have helped me become the improved person that I am today, and they overall are just fantastic.

This is my best friend, Katrina. She has been there for me throughout all of my toughest times, and I have been there for her through her tough times. We met while we were in band together and we instantly clicked as good friends.

After I made some questionable decisions when it came to the women I dated the only person who was consistently there for me was Katrina. She would help me gain confidence back and she is one of the biggest reasons why I decided to step out of my comfort zone and move away from home. She helped me gain the confidence in myself to take this step and it is something that I will forever be grateful for.

Hayloft is one of those songs that just reminds you of someone and you really don't have a good reason as to why.
