Scholar - confided in a classroom
Hey, What’s up readers? (If I still have any.) I realize I haven’t been fulfilling my commitment with bringing you the best of the best content to the blog like I normally do. I am truly sorry for that but I do intend on actually getting back to maintaining and adding new content to the blog when I get time. Ever since summertime I haven’t really been able to sit down and give you great content because I was busy enjoying the summertime fun. Especially, since I had just received the paper that declared my independence from all the drama and early morning waking up business that high school served on my plate. To keep my summer story short, it was freaking awesome and I really can’t wait for summer 2013!
Then, came college…sighs! They say college is that time in your life where you’re independent, prepare for everything the world has to offer, this and that and all the other bullshit that they claim. In all honesty, as a wise man once said, “I hate college but love all the parties…” Hate may be a strong word to use since it’s just the first semester so I’ll just say I’m not digging it. I am tired of being a student to be honest with you. I really enjoy learning new things, especially when I am in my business classes. I get pretty mentally excited to be honest with you. This may sound confusing and many may ask the question, “why the hell did you go to college then?” But in all honestly, I just felt it was somewhere I wanted to go for now to fully develop ideas that I want to bring to light. College has its moments - meeting new people, cool parties and a few other things. I just feel that at this point of my life (which is pretty young I may add,) I would just love to go exploring the world enjoying the luxuries and royalties that life has to offer instead of being in a classroom. I guess you have to start somewhere in order to get there.
Back to the blog! I would like to get back to blogging as soon as possible and choose a new path, focusing on me a little more. I don’t feel like I have been giving readers my viewpoint as much. Would love to show you more of who I am, what I think is important, events I attend and places I go, the things I enjoy, the people I look up to, etc. I also have plans on changing up the format and layout of this site soon. It feels and looks outdated. There are many things that need updating and I have a plan for them. Finding time and executing the actions is the only problem. For that, I apologize but until next time - Stay Golden.
