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. :)

The College Life!

Well...I've been in college about five weeks and am doing really well! I have a 3.6 GPA in writing class and my writing teacher loves reading my papers. I also am have some fun as well. My roommate isn't too bad he's doesn't have a lot of common sense. We don't hang out as often as I'd like. :/ I am meeting new people and making new friends. :) I am running for Student Government also. I have a good feeling about this so I really hope I get the position. It would make me really happy. :D I do wish I could get some closer friends but it may take some time. Who knows? For the most part it is much better than high school!!!People don't judge one here. I did get on RCA as the South Rep. for Hamilton Hall. :) I am pretty excited about that. College life goes so much faster than high school. It seems as you get older the faster the years go by. I don't know why. I do go home some weekends and I know mom and dad don't mind at all. I'll try to keep this page updated as much as I can!

Certain Times You Just Want To Scream, Yell, Be Alone, Be Happy, Be funny...How about just a CRAZY LIFE!

Well I just turned the big 1 8 about a week ago...December 19, 1991. I can't believe how fast it has went! I had a great party got clothes, money, and some little stuff...later on that week we had Christmas of course. It went well also I got some very good presents that my parents did not have to get me but they do it because they love me. A couple days ago my sister had to go get a dress for winter ball..I will NEVER shop with her even if someone paid me to! She took 5 hours to find a dress...it's not prom she doesn't have to spend that much time!!!!!!!! Well from there I thought since she got to go shopping I should get to go to get some of my gift cards spent. That hasn't happened yet...it sometimes seems like I am not much when it's Lindsey's way or the highway. But I know thats not true. Our parents treat us the same maybe not all the time but most of the time! It's not like I get more clothes or hunting gear...etc. I work for my money right now and I am also older so of course I am going to get a little more expensive gifts for Christmas but she will get more gifts than me. But its moments like what one sibling gets is how it's going to be sometimes and you just get tired of it you want to show some kind of emotion. Well...it is almost 2010 and that will for sure be a new start for me. I will be graduating, going to college, etc. Well I hope to be on here soon but who knows with my CRAZY life!



Happy New Year!

Growing up...

Well, I got a job this summer at Young's. I have a blast working there and I get paid for it too. I am getting ready to turn 18 soon. Then I will be graduating June 5th. It's very sad that I will be going to college in the fall of 2010. But on the other hand it's happy, it will show that I have worked my way into the future. I will be going to college after I graduate. I would like to go into early childhood education or software developer. I have had less seizures and hoping this is the medication that will take my epilepsy away. People seem to be living in fantasies all the time. Their life just seems so perfect. I wish some people would come to realize this is the real world and come out of their fantasy. I don't know what will happen in this world but who does? Some people think I just have money given to me. I work for my money I own a business and work for one and I also work at home. Growing up teaches you so many things you can do with you life. It teaches you good and bad things. We want everyone to learn the good things, sure we mess up here and there but we work things out. Well that will be all for now.

Happy Holidays,

Justin

The Best Times in Your Life...

The best times in your life may be all different times. I have learned a lot in High School and a lot of my best friends from elementary are still in my class! They hit middle school and decided they would leave me out in the dust, yea we are still friends but not like a friend, friend that would take you to the movies and do fun stuff with you! I have fought it through though and tried to find new friends and right now I a not sure what friends I should trust my best friend that I know will always be beside me lives in North Carolina(N.C.) and he is a great friend. I have had trouble finding friends because of my epilepsy and not only that the small town I live in. I will even sometimes run home and go up to my room and just cry it out. I hate not having like 3 friends. People don't realize how hard my life is!!! They will beg me to do something for them and I have to say yes because they drive me crazy and finding time to do whatever they ask. One of my friends is my cousin Steph, she is ALWAYS there when I need her the most! They say High School is the best years of your life, but I have to disagree. I think High School is the worst part of your life for some people. I know when I go to college in the fall of 2010 I will find some awsome friends! If you have the time please listen to Brad Paisley's song called

"Letter to me." That will tell you kinda what I am trying to say here!

Good luck in life,
Justin
