College as a SOPHOMORE...

I haven't wrote in awhile so I thought this would be a good time to do so. I am about to go back to school and I had a very successful quarter at WSU!  I ended my quarter with a 3.0 GPA and a 2.7 Cumulative GPA. I became a Sophomore and was accepted into the College of Education and Human Services.
After working my butt off I finally got my GPA up. I am now dating a girl named, Rachel we have been dating for about 2 months now and she is very sweet. I am so happy I found a girl like her. I am going to work just as hard this quarter so my GPA can keep coming up. I have now got a job at the WSU bookstore and am working there quite a bit. I'll keep this blog going up to date as much as I can!

Summer 2011

Well Summer is Starting to come to a close very fast I move back into Hamilton Hall at WSU in about a month. I have had a great Summer so far and enjoyed every little bit of it. I went to Miami, FL with some great friends and had a blast. Spent too much money though. I have been working a lot this Summer I think I have worked more than any other Summer at Young's. I also work as an Orientation Leader at WSU. That has been an experience seeing some of the parents and students come through. Some of the parents are just so rude though. I also just hit my 2 year mark at Young's it doesn't seem possible that I have been there that long! Lindsey is getting ready for fair and then after that I will be packing and getting ready to move back into WSU. Summer goes by so fast, but it has been filled with great memories and although it is about over I look forward to seeing my friends at WSU again. So this will be my last post before School starts back up most likely. Keep in touch!

First year at Wright State University...

Wow...First year of college is now officially finished. I had a rough start, but once I got adjusted to college I was on track. I have made so many friends here at WSU. I know there have been good and bad times with us, but we have became closer and closer. Coming in as a freshman to WSU living in Hamilton Hall I was so excited, but yet scared at the same time. I got involved right away. I joined our community council and ran for South Representative and received the position.I even got to go to NACURH which is a conference at Western Illinois University and I had a blast. . :) Since fall quarter was a horrible quarter for me considering I had a bad roommate, got bed bugs, and my grades slipped a bit I didn't enjoy college much in the fall. During winter I had a little bit better experience. I was then living in a triple dorm so I had 2 roommates one of which I got along with for awhile, towards the middle and end I wanted to just leave but I stuck it out and he ended up leaving WSU. Going into Spring quarter I was unsure of how to feel since I didn't have very good fall or winter quarters. I had finally got some real friends on the floor now. I knew nothing worse could happen. I had found two very good friends that I gotten along with great fall and winter, Brandon T. and Najee W. (my roommate winter and spring quarter). Spring quarter we had two new residents move on our floor. I met one of them going to do their laundry and was unsure of the guy. So I got to know him and his roommate very well. I got to know one of them so well I would consider him one of my best friends, Jordan Washburn. We hang out a lot and he is like my brother. His roommate Nick I consider one of my very close friends. He also hangs out with me quite a bit and is like my brother. I know that Brandon, Najee, Jordan, and Nick have changed my college career and we have all became very close I don't know what I would do without them sometimes. Being in college has changed me majorly. I can't even explain it. I have also gained one very close friend that I have knew since fall. Her name is Megan. Megan is like a sister to me. We had a rough friendship to start off and we just hung in there and I am now her Personal Asst. She has been there for me no matter what, I could go to her room at 3 AM and she wouldn't care. She is a great person and has a big heart. I also have met some good friends that I have had a lot of fun with we may not be as close as the people listed above, but they are very close. Cortney, Ashley and Chris. We have had some wild adventures, but a lot of fun. These people are so much fun to be around some of them we had our good and bad times, but we pull through them. It is amazing how many friends I have made here. I have also got involved in some great organizations and got some great jobs including Orientation and First weekend leader this Summer and Fall. These are some memories I will never forget and I would like to thank each and everyone of you. BUT most of all I would like to thank my family and God for having my back no matter what. I love you all. Thanks for a great year and I hope to see you next fall if not this summer!

Thank you to all who impacted my first year at college. I have made some great friends

Finishing up first year in college!

Well...I just started my Spring quarter and that means in a few months I will have completed my first year of college. :) I am really excited for this quarter. I am getting into my major classes. I have one education class I actually get to teach Hispanic kids. That was really interesting (but in a good way). I am meeting a lot new people and having a blast. I am getting an apartment next year with my neighbor. It's actually a funny story with me and my neighbor. My neighbor also has epilepsy and it just so happens that he sees the SAME doctor, SMALL WORLD! We are really good friends, if not best friends. I am so excited. There have been people (teachers) who have told me I wouldn't make it through high school in time unless I went to the career center. I proved them wrong! :) Then I came to college and was told that I would have to go to a community college at first because I couldn't make it at a 4-year college. Just to make it through year one proves I can make it hear at WSU. I hate it how people judge before they even get to know a person. I also have a job on campus and am doing school and succeeding. I also lost one roommate, Blake. He is going into coast guard. So it is me and Najee left. I am still having fun though. I am also still on community council and having a blast with it. I will soon do relay for life. I cant wait! :) I will try to update more, but no guarantee I will. Most likely I will considering my classes are a bit easier though.

Start of Winter quarter...

Well...WINTER quarter has now started. Two new roommates, new classes and such. I am getting along so much better than the old roommate. I am working harder this quarter too. I have got the go ahead from my dr. to start driving so I am happy. I am enjoying weight training also. I am hoping I will look great for spring break, not that I don't look good. I would really like a six or even a four pack. I'll keep up to date on how I'm doing. :)
