Collin Schroeder of Burnsville is preparing for life at Carthage College in Wisconsin after helping the Blaze to a third-place finish in the boys' lacrosse state tournament. A look at the recent grad:

Three songs I never skip on my iPod are: "I'm On One" by DJ Khaled Ft. Drake, Lil' Wayne and Rick Ross; "Ballin" by Young Jeezy; "On My Level" and "The Race" by Wiz Khalifa.

Three words my friends or teammates might use to describe me: Crazy; leader; intelligent.

What is your favorite meal prior to a game? Gatorade, Ramen, and any kind of fruit.

How did you balance school and sports during the year? I tried to get all my homework done in study hall, but if that didn't happen I would just make sure I wouldn't get distracted after practice so I could go do my homework.

If you could change one thing about high school sports, what would it be? Politics.

At my first varsity practice, I felt ... intimidated, but ready for it.

How did you get started playing lacrosse? I started lacrosse in fifth grade because other friends were playing.

Do you have a secret talent -- and if so, what is it? I can make a lot of weird noises.

In 10 years, I hope I'm ... living in Boston, married, working for a large, well-known engineering company, and coaching youth lacrosse.

What is the best sports advice you ever received? Never give up, and don't let anyone get in your way.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
