MODSQUAD Superfan and scorebook keeper and official team photographer Kristen Bladel will have a new outlook on life (ie: the real world) after this Friday, when she graduates from her Masters Program.

Bladel is currently finishing up her Masters in Physician Assistant Program through Mercy College. She is currently sporting a 3.81 grade point average, not to be outdone by the team's overall 3.91 BAL average.

Bladel's new medical title (PA) gives her the legal right to viciously tear off band-aids, administer mind numbingly painful shots via 12 inch gauge needles, and tell you that you are not "all right" after you run into the telephone poll in right field, all while sporting that sweet and innocent looking smile that she is best known for.

Bladel walks this Friday at 1:00, Dobbs Ferry Campus. Her classmates decided to enter into the ceremony accompanied by the song "Bittersweet Symphony" and will exit to a less than traditional version of the Traditional Graduation Exiting Song.

And she says that I don't pay attention when she talks.

Regretfully, Bladel will not be able to make the Modsquad game later that evening as her parents are throwing a surprise graduation party for her.

Hope she doesn't read this.
