I am off of the Facebook
Today I decided to pull the plug on my Facebook account. It wasn't an easy decision to come to but ultimately it felt like the right thing to do. No doubt there are plenty of benefits to being connected to so many people in one spot. But after reflecting on the days before Facebook I was reminded of my relationships prior to that and how much stronger they were back then.
It gets kind of exhausting trying to think of the best or wittiest thing to say to somebody's status. Sometimes people get bummed if you don't say anything about their status. Also I don't care to know what some guy who I sort of knew in high school had for lunch or what their political leanings may be. Plus, I'm really excited to see how I fill the time when I'm with a group of people and they all get on their phones to check in, or make comments and what not and I'm not a part of that.
In the end, I would rather have strong and meaningful relationships with a few people than surface-only, mediocre relationships with 250 people.

June who?
What the hell happened to the month of June?? Man I seriously need to figure out how to get more out of my time. Between work and school I am pretty well stretched thin. I glanced at my blog and saw I only posted once last month. Then I had a moment where I realized it was July already and already in the thick of a new term at school!
June was good, at least the part of it where I was mentally aware of it. Wrapped up my first term back at school with a strong 4.0, nothing like jumping back in after a freakin' decade and making a splash! Also had a couple nights where we were able to pal it up with some friends. I ended the month with my birthday and a surprise visit that weekend from my Dad and my little bro as well as their significant others.
Here's hoping the rest of the summer isn't so hectic and more time can be spent having a social life and having time to be a rascal!

Snoop-a-Loop
This song is pretty old but it is as timeless as Freedom and it inspires me to strive hard towards my goals in life.
