Dear College,!!!!

Dear College, you have brought so many different things into my life in such a short period of time. I have only been knowing you for going on 4 months and it seem like it has been forever. I have become so exceptive of you and all you bring, and I thank you for all of the pain stress and tears that you have brought me over the past few months. I know as time goes on I will learn more things and my feelings towards you will be so mixed as they are every day of my college life. Since knowing you I have met many new people and I have learned to accept people that have come from different backgrounds. You have showed me that people may see things totally different than I do, so sometimes it is good to state my opinion but sometimes I should just stay quiet and watch how others handle the different things that you throw at them and try to learn from that. I have noticed since I’ve been here that my mind is starting to open up and I am now thinking on multiple levels and I know that this is going to help me in life, because it will make my thinking style very diverse. I’ve learned to deal with stress better through time management, because I have realized that this is what has been bringing me down. Now that football season is over I believe that I will enjoy the experience you bring to me more better because I have more time to do things that I want to do and get the full experience of a college student. The past week without football I have been so stress free because I have had time to complete all of my work early, and then get enough sleep so that I would be able to function in most of my classes. I’m writing this letter to you college to give you thanks and to keep you aware of my feelings about you. I hope that one day when I go my separate ways from you that I will leave a happy camper, and you will be introduced to more incoming students that will feel the same way as imp feeling write now, happy, stressed, but grateful that I am getting the chance and experience that most people are too afraid to try. I pray that my feeling towards you can stay positive. To my good friend for right now, College

Theres more to college than just a degree.

When most people think of college they think of their future and what they would be doing in the future. Most think about which career field they would like to study in and which field would they like to earn a degree in. As young and immature teen most of us think about all the fun that comes with college like the girls new friends and mostly the big college parties that can only be experienced once in a life time, but what most people don’t tell you about is all the bad things about college like the stress and the very tough work that you have to do in order to pass your classes. One thing that many people seemed to skip over that I am facing now and it’s not felling so good, are all the germs that comes when you are surrounded by a lot of different type of people in your dorm and in your classes, and that’s is all of the germs. I didn’t never really notice how many germs were around this college until I got sick for the fourth time this school year, this week. I am suffering from strep throat as I type this blog up right now. I played in the game this week end with what I thought was just a very bad case of the cold, I felt like I was going to die numerous times, but me being the guy that I am I kept telling the coaches and trainers that I was fine, but I knew deep down inside that something was really wrong with me. The last time I could remember being sick and in this much pain was back in the third grade when I had the flu. I hope with me being sick I don’t get my roommate or any of my dorm mates sick because that would really be horrible so before I let that happen I am carrying Lysol around with me and spraying everything I touch. I don't want anybody else to feel the way that I am feeling right now. As I sit here and think about it, it kind of a good thing that I got sick this weekend because it slowed me down and made me stay in my room this weekend while everybody else went out and partied and it game me time to realize that life isn’t all about partying, sometimes you need to take breaks and let your body catch up to your brain. This is another reason I think I’m sick is because I’m always on the run and I don’t give my body time to rest and this is making my body and immune system week which is making bacteria and viruses more bound to get to me so I think from now on out I will take a few days out of each month to just give to my body so that I can catch up on rest for the good of and the good of others around me.

HUMP BACK HUMP BACK I !!!!

At the beginning of this week I was pretty stressed and upset because I had a lot of work that was due. I have come to the conclusion that college is the place for people to be stressed every week in order to make them feel how it feels to be down in life and if this is how life was I would really hate it. another reason why I’ve been upset and stressed was because we had a game in Mississi- hump back hump back I.... That’s right in Mississippi. This trip I knew would be horrible because we were going to be on the bus for 11 hours just riding and that’s one thing I hate, is being confined to one spot for too long, I guess you can call me Closter phobic or just call me a whining baby. All throughout the week I was trying to think of ways to get out of the trip. I was thinking of acting hurt telling the coach I could make it because I was sick and different things. Wednesday when I got out of class I called my dad and told him how I was feeling about the trip and told him that I didn’t want to go and how I was going to come up with an excuse of not going. My dad told me to be a man about the situation pull up my big boy pants and make the trip with the team because they would need me and I would possible need them. That all he had to say for me to change my mind about going. Even though I still didn’t want to go I forced myself to because it would make me feel like more of a man and a team player. The bus for Mississippi left early Friday morning at four o'clock. After being on the bus for just 5 minutes I fell asleep and it was a deep sleep. The other bus that was traveling in front of us broke down so that put an hour delay on trip so an eleven hour trip turned into twelve hours. After making it to Mississippi I felt better when we pulled up to the five star Hilton hotel that we were staying in, it only got better as week got the keys and walked into our rooms. The visit to Mississippi turned out great because we went down there and got the victory and came back home with the win and that is all that counts when you work so hard throughout the week to achieve something with your brothers on the team.
