These two memes accurately represent my experience in my first semester of college. I found it very hard to motivate myself to complete all my assignments. Also pretty much the entire time i was very broke. And I specifically remember looking for coins everywhere like this guy is doing so that i could go out. But all in all I still enjoyed my first semester in college.

Hi my name is Richard and I like basketball. Ive been playing it since i was eight when my mom bought us a basketball hoop for christmas. After that all my neighbors used to come over to play and thats all we did all day. I thought I was going to go to the NBA for the longest time until one day I realized that I was 5’9 and white. 5’9 white guys don’t make it into the NBA. However I still love basketball and I played on the varsity and jv teams for my high school. Today I still play ball every once in a while at the park.

RIchard’s Slide show

For my blog post i decided to do the eight picture slide. My first picture is of a Puertorican flag because i was born and raised there and like a typical hispanic I am overly proud of my heritage. My second photo is of a big stack of cash because thats what its all about. In the end were all just paper chasing because money is freedom and yes it does bring happiness. My third picture is of Ke$ha Rose Serbert who is a singer and the perfect human. Shes so hot and id marry her right now if i could. If anyone is a dime piece its her. Oh and I like her music too. The fourth picture is of me playing basketball on my highschool team. Basketball is a big part of my life; I have been playing it since i was 8 but since i’m 5’9 and white my career seems to be coming to an end. However i will always play basketball weather its in a old mans league or just pick up at the park.  The fifth picture is of me and two of my highschool friends in the bathroom. Hanging out with my friends is probably my favorite thing to do. For my sixth picture i put musical notes because music is a big part of my life. I like alot of different kinds of music and no country is not one of them. My seventh picture is of my dog Beauty. I love my pets more than my siblings. They’re always happy to see you and will always keep it real because they’re loyal. My eighth and final picture is of a plate of rice and beans and a pork chop because food is a huge part of my life.  For the background music i chose a song that inspires me not only because of the lyrics but also because of this artists deliver; it gave me chills.
