For those of you that are used to my laid back demeanor, a fair warning, this is about to become pretty opinionated.

The fall semester did not come as easy as I had planned. Two labs and two tough classes along with band and Texas 4000 was a lot to handle for be semester. It was a let down every Saturday since football games were scheduled on those days. I wasn’t able to attend the team work […]

Dear Journal, The title of this will only make sense for today, but if you happen to read this after today just decrement 122 by 1 (days–;) for each day after. My life’s happenings are starting to spill over into the other. What I mean is, my programming labs are taken care of at work. […]

This is a portion what I call my “main friend group”. Also to explain, we were all at my apartment because it was one of my roommate’s birthday, and we decided that we wanted to try to take an awkward family picture. If you google “awkward family photo laying top each other”, the first few […]
