It's been a long time comin': The first few days of life as a college student

Hey all!

It's been a while since I last posted (May of 2011, sheesh), and I figured it was time to get back into the swing of things.

I've currently been enjoying my first week as a college student at Indiana University-Bloomington. Now, some of you may be thinking "WTF Y IZ HE AT IU, I THOUGHT HE WUZ GO!NG TO PENN $T@T3?!" But give me a sec to explain, because it's a mouthful and I think it's best if I just sum it up for you.

Basically, I got wait-listed at IU and I had to have a deposit in for a school. As I posted months ago, I deposited at PSU, where I would be doing two years at their satellite campus, PSU Altoona, followed up with two years at PSU University Park in the college of communications. However, when I received a notice that IU had decided to accept me to Bloomington, it was a no-brainer of where I would end up. IU was always one of my top choices, and from the first few days, it seems as though it was the right choice. Almost instantly, I called my parents, relayed the news, and cancelled my enrollment at PSU. Smart choice to say the least.

It's definitely been an interesting experience so far. I'm currently living in the Media LLC (Living Learning Center), where I live with other students who are interested in the same career path as myself. I moved in on 8/23 and I've already got a pretty good group of friends: Michael, Kody, Pat & Billy. You can check out Billy's blog after clicking the link here. He's got a lot of nifty stuff on there and he's also a huge sports nut like myself. Michael and Kody are also sports guys and Michael is interested in vocal performance. Pat's another media guy who's interested in music. It's pretty neat to be able to connect with people who are interested in the same kind of career as myself, and it's a huge learning experience and it's great that we can rebound off of each other and help each other out and actually know what we're talking about.

Anyway, it's been great so far. There's a ton of opportunities that I'm definitely going to be taking advantage of. I've got tons of resources at my hands. Currently, I'm sitting in my Journalism Class, J110, writing this post. So yeah, I should probably get back to class.

Just a little preview of what's to come: I'll be covering post season baseball.

Talk to you all soon.
