There isn't really one thing that I feel like writing about so I guess this blog will just be about a few things that I have been thinking about today.
I had my advising appointment yesterday, and it hadn't hit me until then that I am less than three semesters graduating college. Seeing as I was supposed to graduate last semester anyways, I am ready to get out. I'm tired of spending money; I need to start making some! With that said, I must admit that I have absolutely no clue what to do with my life. Sure, I am a COM major, but what do I want to do with degree? Spontaneity has always been my thing, and sadly enough, growing up hasn't had much of an effect on that. An option that I have been considering for a while is applying for Officer's Training with the Air Force. Law school isn't out of the picture either. That option is particularly strange to think about, because I nearly failed out of college two years ago, so I took a break. Now, my grades are pretty sick. Before, I was facing having to work in a warehouse doing manual labor and move up to make a decent living and not put my body through agony every day. Now, I actually have options! It feels good.
I QUIT SMOKING CIGARETTES! Well, I actually quit about four or five hours ago. Everyone says that doesn't count, but it does to me! I guess I decided that I really don't want to look like I am 80 years old by the time that I am 40. Additionally, I would challenge any smoker to train muay thai without giving out or throwing up within the first 30 minutes of the class. Fitness is an important thing to me, and smoking holds me back. It's embarrassing throwing up in the middle of a class, or gasping for breath uncontrollably while everyone else goes strong. Hopefully I can stick to it. I've been thinking about trying out the nicotine gum. People say not to do it because you will become addicted to the gum. The way I look at it, being addicted to gum that contains nicotine is a lot better than smoking.
I can't wait for tomorrow night! Some of my best friends from back home are getting together and taking a trip down to Wilmington to chill! Hopefully nobody will get in trouble, we tend to get a bit wild when we all hang out. A couple of blogs back, I wrote about my long lost best friend. I'm not sure if anyone remembers that blog but the guy that I wrote about is one of the guys that is coming. As a matter of fact, nearly all of the groomsmen are making the trip! I should be a great time, and I will keep you guys updated as to how much trouble we get into ;)
Finally, I really want to know more about some of you guys. I am an extremely outgoing person, and I always get to know at least a few people in all of my classes, but I feel very distant from all of you. The blogs help, but a lot of them seem to be written objectively. I want to know what you guys like to eat, what your hobbies are, what kind of music you listen to, what your favorite beer is, just things about all of you in general. I feel like it would be a pretty cool addition to what we will all get out of the online class experience. Anyways, it is the weekend and I have a lot of stress relieving to partake in! Have a good one everybody!
Hey Louis, nice blog post. I know that it is hard to figure out what to do after college, I am thinking about this a lot, too. I want to go into Marketing and Advertising, I am just not sure in which field yet...but movie and media marketing definitely sound fun. I will do a bit more research in the weeks to come, and make a decision.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on quitting to smoke! It definitely will benefit your health and save you a lot of money.
Okay, so here are some things about me:
Favorite food: Italian, Mexican
Hobbies: movies, music, hanging out with friends, reading, drawing
Favorite Drink: sorry, don't like beer but I love white wine and cocktails
Oh, and I hope you had a great weekend with your friends!
I feel the same way about what to write on this blog sometime, so I like this post! I'm about in the same boat as far as graduating goes. I have one semester left and I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. I remember moving into Galloway my freshman year, thinking I had all the time in the world. Reality is starting to sink in and it is scary! Congratulations on quitting smoking! Keep it up! I always love getting to hang out with old friends. Its always great to catch up and relive some old memories. Hope ya'll have fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome that you quit smoking! I remember being shocked by the amount of smokers in college my freshman year. I am not a smoker so I cannot really relate to the challenge of quitting the habbit personally but I have watched a lot of other people try to kick the nasty habbit. Stay strong buddy! I agree that a nicotine gum addiction is way better than the embarassment of puking in front of your class.
ReplyDeleteI liked this blog entry : ) So many things going on, like a stream of consciousness type deal. I love that sort of stuff. Where to start? First, before I even read this entry "I QUIT SMOKING" leapt out at me. EEEK! First thought was about how wonderful that is (keep up the good work!) second was that I was kind of shocked, you're such a work out fanatic! I didn't see you as the cigarette type. But anyways, wooohooo!!!
ReplyDeleteAlsooo.. you want to know more about us! Funny that I read that after I put up my most recent entry (check it out). Also I love fb chatting with you every once in a while! You're a hoot : ) I'm glad I got to "meet" you from being in your group for this class. Maybe we will cross paths in real life one day. But you'll have to look in places like Fuzzy Peach and Taco Bell... and not so much the gym... ;-)
