REALITY CHECK!!!

What do you do when EVERYTHING & EVERYONE around you seems to be going completely out of control?? Things are really getting crazy around the world as of late so it really makes me think about things...little things that we often take for granted, especially LIFE! I urge everyone to stay praying for yourself and the people around you because you never know whats going on or what could happen! Not to scare anyone but this is a REALITY CHECK!! My prayers go out to the families of the young men who lost their lives! R.I.L!

Survival of the Fittest!!!

Hey everybody!! This post is dedicated to helping you make a smooth transition through college! A few weeks ago my fraternity had a program entitled "Survival of the Fittest" A development in College Life, and we had a speaker to come and hopefully give some good advice about college life. With that being said one of the first things you have to do to survive is realize you have a lot of freedom in college (away from home) and then understand how to use it wisely! You can't get to school and 4get everything your parents taught you in the 1st week then flunk out. Be wise with your freedom. Next if you don't already have good study habits definitely try to develop them, it will only help you in the future! Next, don't get caught up and fall in love to the point where you can't do anything or go anywhere without your "wife/husband" Relationships are good but don't 4get about your education and everything around you! Also utilize all the resources you have offered to you on campus THEY HELP, & YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THEM!!! Need to workout? HPER CENTER! Need a paper reviewed? The writing center in Win Thompson. Need a tutor? The basement of Ida Waldron! Flu season is coming up....STUDENT HEALTH!! And my favorite resource...THE NIGHT OWL!!! After the library closes you can go in between 12:00 a.m. and 6 a.m. and get that paper done or just some extra studying it's the best place to go, and STEVE IS AWESOME!!!! lol You have so many resources USE THEM! Last but not least GET INVOLVED!!! Don't have a dry and boring college experience! Join some RSO'S (registered student organizations) and play an active role on campus! It balances out all the studying you have to do!!

Well I hope this helps! Until next time....I'M OUT!!!!!!!!!!
