Going Away Party for Me!
This weekend I wasnt able to stay on my blogs because my sister and cousin had a 'going away to school' party for me! Even though I am going into my third year of school, the gesture was really nice. Anyway, I am going back to college in Atlanta. I am very excited for the start of a new school year. I cant believe it will all be over soon. Class of 2014. I have setup an academic plan for this year and I have so much to look forward to. The biggest problem I might have is staying as dedicated to my blogs, the school year gets super busy but I just have to use my time wisely. I leave for Atlanta Sunday! yay!

I was using Psychology as a safety net...
Hi everyone,
Ok, so basically the reason why I wanted to discuss this topic is because for many of us college students choosing ONE major is HARD. I am in this crazy situation of changing my major and this is coming from a person that doesn't like change too much. Well something I've noticed at school is that we as students use certain majors as a safety net. For example, I can use myself I am a rising junior and I chose psychology as a major just because I took a class on it in high school. As I have grown older I still really do LIKE psychology and I am very good at reading people but....I have been passionate about blogging and writing since freshman year in high school. I am now having a change of heart. My school is expensive yes, and the economy sucks like hell but my recent experiences have led me away from using my safety net and taking a risk for what I actually want to do for the rest of my life. I love to plan my life and If I can plan it well enough to stay in the areas where I know I have a better opportunity of a job thats a risk i am willing to take. But I am selling myself short PLAYING IT SAFE.
Thank you for reading

I quit T.G.I Fridays
Its summer vacation and I am back in Largo, Maryland , others refer to as the "DMV". As I've mentioned in my previous post I am currently attending Clark Atlanta University located in Atlanta, Georgia. For some who are not aware Atlanta is in its prime right now an upcoming city attracting plenty of tourist and businesses especially in the media.
Anyway, I am back at home in my parents house and one of my goals for this summer was to hopefully land a summer job.Well, that is exactly what I did early June of 2012 but unfortunately with lack of communication I ultimately end up quitting literally a month later. I think I've come to far in my life, being in college and getting more experience from some what of a real world I could not let myself go back to a job that treated their employees with little to no respect. I dont know what it was about T.G.I fridays but it was an eye opener of what not to do. Don't drop out of school and truly find your passion.I think thats why I am here now.
I go to a very expensive university (34,000$ per year) and I need to advantage of the opportunities that I am ever so fortunate to land. That is what has brought me here. I have a tumblr that I am addicted to and a twitter that reminds me to tweet my heart out till my fingers are numb. I'm not sure if it is cause of the generation I am in but I could spend hours on the computer for free ...so why not get paid to do so?
