To Parents

I just moved back to campus today and I have a freshman roommate. She brought almost nothing. I am sometimes told I bring too much. But what some people need to understand is that I live here. LIVE here. It is my home for 8 out of 12 months. I'm going to bring as much as I want/need. Both for fun and for necessity. So Parents..get off your college kids back and help 'em pack.

Legitimate Writers? Try Again

Ok so my dad is a news junkie. He watches it, he reads it, he talks to it, and when he surfs the web, he catches news waves. He was reading todays Times Union and found an article he thought I'd enjoy written by other college students, about tips on being a student.

I read some of the entries each alumni had written, enjoyed some, and frowned at others. The ones I liked included tips about club joining, gym workouts and parking tricks. Then I moved on to the closer and laughed out loud.

This guy from Manhatten College closed his statment by saying that college would be the best years of your life no matter what and that the transition was rather easy. Not word for word, but I just got to the basics. I laughed because...GOD I hope these aren't the best years of my life and it was NOT and easy transition.

Everyone is diffrent. And I dont know about you guys, but when someone writes an article that will be seen by hundreds, they would be smart to write towards a wider audiance rather than those 24/7 happy-go-lucky freshman to be's.

When I write my posts here, I try my best to make sure I hit upon every point, that everyone gets a say, a voice, a tip. I write for the ones having a hard time, and for those who are having a blast. I do not sugar coat it, nor do I cast a black cloud over every event having to do with after high school education.

So I say, to all of you "legitimate writers" please consider everyone. I'd be bad technique to not cover all your bases.

College Years Intro

Ok so it IS scary. I am a third year college student, and no matter what year you hapen to be in...you ALWAYS have crap problems that seem to pop up when most unneeded. I will be updating this blog from day to day and telling my story, well stories, about the last two years I've spent in college. I will start with the beggining and work my way up to the present as this year progresses and I will be revisiting mistakes, and accomplishments to better myself as I go. I'll give and accept advice willingly and openly and share my every opinion right here.
