It’s really strange when you starting thinking of everything as a potential blog. This used to happen to me when I was attending the University of Tampa a couple of years ago. I would sit in my Government and World Affairs class and scribble notes about what I was going to blog instead of listening [...]

Six A.M. comes very early. That is especially true when you wake up long before your alarm is supposed to go off, as I did yesterday morning. Surprisingly, I was not gripped by the sense of foreboding I used to get on the first day of classes; Having been at USF for a year and [...]
It’s that time of the semester again: the mad dash to digest several weeks worth of material and regurgitate it out as something usable, also known as the Mid-Term Exam. This is my second semester at USF, and my second round of midterms. I got out easy in the Spring semester; there were only 2 [...]
It’s almost one am, and I should be asleep. I laid down 2 hours ago, and just cannot turn off my brain. So, since I’m awake, I felt like I would write out some of what I’m thinking in the hopes that it will put me to sleep when I’m done. Now that this semester [...]
If my life were a movie, it would be hilarious. Why do I say that? I’m a 33 year old college junior. I just transferred to the largest place I’ve ever gone to school in my whole life, so large in fact that it has its own transit system to get you to your destinations [...]

So, my mood returned to pleasant last night after my last blog. My roommate noticed that I was feeling kinda down pulled me downstairs to the bar to celebrate, which I have to say did actually make me happier. A few people popped in to visit, though one couldn’t get in with her license from [...]
First off, thank you to all the people who sent me birthday wishes today. This is the first birthday I’ve had away from home in a while, and even though I had class today, those wishes helped make my day that much better. Was it a good birthday? Eh. It was a day. That’s the [...]
As much as I was looking forward to this experience, I’m finding it to be a bit stupid how much everything costs. I was completely unaware that Universities like this one thrive on milking cash from their students. As if going to college wasn’t difficult enough, they have to make it so you are broke as well.
