I have great friends!

Greetings friends!!! The past several weeks have been a lot of fun, but they were not without disappointment. The day before bid day for fraternities and sororities, my friends and I went to a program about Greek life fairly confident that we would soon become members of Pi Kappa Alpha. The next day, we got the call. We didn’t get a bid. We were all very disappointed and to find a way to get our frustrations we all went to the gym. On Friday night that week, we (non-bid people) had our own party. That night and the rest of that weekend really made me realize what great friends I have. It didn’t take very long for me to get over not getting into the frat. I’ve learned to treasure the time I spend with my friends. I am always busy doing schoolwork during the week, and it is nice to be able to relax knowing that any free time I have will be spent with my friends.
This past weekend it was my roommate Alex’s birthday. We all dressed up to go out to dinner and had a fantastic time. It was a great night that was just spent enjoying ourselves and spending quality time with each other. The past few weeks have made me realize I have a lot to be thankful for in my life. While things are not always perfect, I really do have quite a few things going for me in my life. Here’s to more good times with my friends. Well, that’s it for now. Later friends!!!

Nothing is Certain

Greetings Friends!! These past two weeks have been very eventful to say the least. From parties and sporting events to homework and more randomness than I am used, a lot of stuff has happened. I have recently gotten more involved in rushing Pi Kappa Alpha, and I made a preference to join today. In the weeks before this, I was starting to lean away from rushing, but I decided to go to a Rampage game, which is the minor league hockey team in San Antonio, with some of my friends who were rushing. I had a great time with my friends and the PIKES and even hung out at a PIKES’ house later that night. Also, last week I had an experience that I cannot mention, but it was one I will never forget. It made me realize that things can change in an instant and sitting back and watching it happen just isn’t enough. I need to continue to keep this in mind as I live my life. Little things and other pointless problems will solve themselves if I give them time; I need to keep my life in perspective. I am going to make an effort to never get too down or be too high on myself because I know that everything could change. On a lighter note, life is great! It is amazing how I have learned so much about myself through college so far, and I look forward to each new day. Later Friends!!
