So I decided I need to get back on this and start writing. It helps me get some of my thoughts on paper. I always say I am going to start writing again and then I do for a while then I forget for a bit. Let’s just see how this goes. haha. Anyway life have been very crazy for me since I have last posted on here. A lot of new things. Way too much to even catch up on.
This is my last semester at BW and now its about to end in a couple weeks. BW has been a great second home for me. I love everything about it and I have made so many amazing friends. My experiences at BW has made me into such a great person and I know I am ready to go out in the world and make a difference. I really hope to stay friends with many of the people I have gotten to know and grow with. I know I may be graduating but hah duh I will be around. But it is a bittersweet symphony I guess.. now I finally have to grow up and be an adult.
Damn, I have had so many crazy memories of college. I have ran into so many people and varieties of people it is not even funny. How many stupid things I have done or even said is beyond me. I have made some mistakes as well, but I know I have learned from them and it has made me into a way better person. I have learned to be a little more crazy and outgoing of an individual . I have learned not to take life so seriously. I have learned to try and make every moment count. I just want to know how do you know if you are truly listening to your heart? Sometimes our mind and our hearts get in battles with each other and its hard to figure out what is the “right” answer.
I have made some decisions that I am not sure if they are the best ones but only time can tell. Currently I am looking for a job and I want to make sure I have a job so I can pay off my debt. I want to go back to my education so I can obtain that teaching license. Although I did not get the TeachForAmerica position I will not let that stop me from achieving my dreams. I will do whatever it takes to become a teacher and politician. ha I want to inspire people and I want to help make a difference. It sounds cliche but I truly mean it.
This semester I have been truly blessed with so many great people that have came into my life and also people that have been in my life that I have gotten closer with. Some of the people I was closet to last year moved to do some pretty amazing things so it left me here to really take the time and get to know others. I am so happy for my friends that graduated last year they are building their new lives into something amazing and I can’t wait to go and visit them very soon. I also feel I have gotten closer with my parents and that is something I am so grateful with. Since my sisters and I are growing up and are older now my parents are doing some pretty neat things together which makes me very happy. It will end soon because I will be moving back (in an evil tone) HA HA HA. ha just kidding, but really I am not looking forward to moving back home but at the same time I am so I can do my own thing and get closer with my family.
Many people will surprise you if you give them the chance to do so. Trust people, and give them a chance, or even a second one if you have to. Not everyone is perfect. We all mess up.
I need to start taking advantage of each day I have. I need to stop procrastinating on things as well. Use each day to the fullest. But I do believe in taking a break and having a good time as well.
I am blessed for this wonderful life I have been given and I need to stop taking it for granted. I have learned that a lot this semester. There are many people out there that don’t get these opportunities that I have had. I better make something great out of this!
I promise to write on this very soon.
Goodnight World,

The semester is basically over and I am writing my last pages of my final papers. I never thought I was going to be able to get through it but I did. Stressed and all, with pressure building on me not because of finals, but because I don’t want to let myself or anyone down.
I will be here at BW for another year and a semester after this.. IT is sad because a lot of my best friends will be graduating on time this upcoming semester. I am looking forward to my Holiday Break though. I get to go home and sleep on my couch hah. But really I am really tired of talking politics. I took 5 political science classes this semester, fraternity politics, and student senate. THIS HAS KICKED MY ASS! Don’t get me wrong I learned a ton. College isn’t always about the grades (Still do well in them) but it is about the experiences you encounter and the things you learn. It is a place to challenge your mind in multiple capacities and a place to find who your real friends are. This semester I have really found out who is there for me and will always be there for me. It doesn’t matter about being popular and having thousands of friends on facebook hah it is about the quality of the friends you keep. The friends that are with you even when you do the must fucked up shit. They are the ones that make fun of you for licking a pizza box, or puking after 58min.
I have learned that I need to have trust in others this semester. Be able to delegate and help share what you know to others. What is the point of knowing things and being a leader if you can’t share what you know to others. We are all here for each other and to work together. We all teach each other in some way. Help people grow and achieve to do great things, give people a chance. At the same time this takes stress off yourself. A lot of stress. Sometimes you can’t do everything you just need to say “no” and well I am still learning that. Sometimes you just have to say Fuck It and move on. We can’t dwell in the past and I know I do at times but it is tough.
I also need to take times or those I care about. I am always running around doing this and doing that. I need to stop with the “doing”. Life is too short to be constantly stressed out. If something doesn’t work out then there is time for something else.
During this break I am going to go back and do some of the “old” stuff that represents who I am. I am going to go back and start running a lot more. I want to run a 3rd marathon this spring. I also want to get back into my art work. I truly miss it and without it I feel like a part of me is lost. There are so many people here at school that don’t even know I like art only that I am there to make some poster for them. I also want to put on a sweet ass open mic night over break again too. Maybe a Day After Christmas Show “The Return of Santa” at Arabica in Parma Hts. You all should go. I also want to do some things with my sisters and teach them what I know, and maybe help them find a focus of what they love. My one sister is amazing at taking pictures I just wish she would grow on that and try making it into something more. She has the talent so maybe I can work with her and be a big brother. My other sister well she needs just some motivation to keep her on track.
I also can’t wait to go out with my friends, and visit people from school. New Years Eve should be fun as well. I plan on catching up with people as well that I haven’t been able to since I have been so busy. Hopefully I will not have to get my wisdom teeth out over break because well they are killing me right now.:(
Oh yeah I also can’t wait to be shoveling the driveways and rearrange cars in the driveway oh joy!
Since I will be on break I should be posting a lot more on here. So Stay tuned!! If anyone ever reads this anyways… thought soo no one.
With that being said I say goodbye to myself.
Time is a funny thing. You never have enough. You want it to go fast while your bored out of your mind in class. You want it to slow down..when you are staying up late writing a paper… You want it to go fast so it gets to your 21st Birthday… and slow once you leave your Birthday…
You wish you could have savored the moments you cherish the most and wish time stood still so those cherished moments wouldn’t end. I got a scrap on my knee time please go fast and heal.
You never know when time is not going to be there for you any longer. You will know when your time is up.. so get up and party and make a difference.
no standing
Well today I have felt a level of stress I have never felt before. My heart was beating really fast and it was kind of hard to breathe a bit. With everything that has been going on lately I just need to take some time for myself. So I did. I actually sat on the bench outside of Carmel today and just sat and did nothing. It was a good feeling. Then I liked it soo much I actually did some of my homework outside which felt nice as well haha. I then stopped at Lone Star to work on my schedule and I hate it. But then I came back and played a bit of guitar and actually came up with a new rhythm and little melody for a new song I want to write. That was definitely relaxing.
You know I am learning everything something new. This stress is ok because I will get passed it and grow from it!!! I care about you.
Now let’s have some fun!!! haha
Goodnite World

Hello Everyone!!!
I am back on my blog and I am ready to keep up with this.
It has been a long time since I posted on my tumblr site. So much stuff has been happening its been crazy.
Well so about a month and a quarter ago I moved back to BW into my I guess you can say mini apartment. The room is huge and I have my own bathroom :). This summer I had the honor to be a BW Summer Orientation Leader which by far was one of my favorite experience I have had at BW.
The school year has hit the ground running and it is not going to get any slower. A big event that just passed that took a lot of time was for Greek Life, The Beech Street Bash. It was a music festival to raise money for Berea Children’s Home. We raised about over double from last year and attendance was awesome. A lot of my friends and representatives from the greek life community helped out and I don’t know what i could have done without them.
Currently I have been directing a lot of my time towards getting a handicapped accessible van on campus with a shuttle system. Can you believe BW doesn’t have this already. In the winter it is hard enough for students to get across campus because of the Cleveland Weather. Just imagine if you were in a wheelchair or crutches how hard that would be. I can’t wait for this project to be up and rolling. There is still a lot of work ahead of me for that.
Recruitment starts very soon for SigEp and boy let me tell you it takes up tons of time, a long with trying to get things organized for the year.
My classes are not much easier. 5 Political Science courses and two of them are night classes booooo!!! First night classes ever. I will have to work hard and stay on task this semester baby.
I feel stressed but I just have to keep things in perspective. I must stay positive and organized. I must not be afraid to lean on a friend or family for help.
I am learning a lot this year who I really am, and how I am growing. I felt at the beginning of my first year living on campus at BW I was a little crazy persay. I did some things I wish I could take back, and I had some very amazing times. through out last year I have grown and become mature yet fun.
This year I want ot be able to live life and have a good time. At the same time be able to accomplish all the goals I set for myself and rise above that. I want to be able to show all the people I care about, that I do care about them and appreciate them. I want to listen more and take a step back and hear about their lives.
I want to be able to fix things that I broke. I also want to make things right. I want to take chances, and not be afraid of falling in love. I don’t want to end this year wondering, “What could have happened?”, or “Why am I so dumb” :):). It is hard to realize that things happen for a reason and if its meant to be its meant to be, your heart will guide you. We use our heads too much, and are always focused on time. Forget about time and live in the moment, for which that is where you should find happiness.
Take Risks, Be True to yourself, and love deeper.
This is going to be an amazing year full of many surprises. For a lot of my friends on campus this is their last year. For myself I will be kickin it here one more year. the year will fly by and I can already tell. This means I better get the hell moving with what I need to do!!!
Once I pick up my room a bit I will give an MTV Cribs tour of my well… Crib. It’s pretty awesome not gonna lie. Well it’s super late and well my fingers hurt a bit from typing… It has been a long day. Stay Tuned!!!
Good Night World
To the Moon and Back!

I just think this is funny because why don’t they just say 72 hours instead of 48 hours. I mean really ebay really? I am just going to wait 3 days because lord knows you don’t get things settled in a timely matter. I have been dealing with this for about a month now… for $30.00 bucks. It’s the principal!
