I have no idea what I’m doing in college if I’m being fair and honest with myself. Everything is just, different. The commute is killing me every morning, despite me taking the train into the city for years. Maybe I need more sleep? Most nights I end up falling asleep way past what I want, but I have so many obligations to finish before I can rest my head. This made me realize, this is the rest of my life. Not in a bad way, but life is changing for me and for everyone else in this school. I need to adjust and not succumb to the yearning of confusion. I went to advisement and while talking to my advisor, he made me more confident in my college future as I figured out the College now classes I took in high school, helped to keep me on track in college. That takes some stress off of me. For now, imma just try to go with the flow and get what I need to get done, done.

In college, one of my goals was to step out of my comfort zone academically and take classes I normally wouldn’t like. One of these classes happens to be Public Speaking. I DREAD speaking out in class, presenting even more so but I have no choice in this class. Fortunately, I feel like I am achieving some success in this class and it has forced me to get over my fears and just move forward with whatever I have to do. I look forward to finishing this class off strong.

Last week I visited New York’s very own Metropolitan Museum of Art, aka The Met. My beautiful girlfriend accompanied(forced) me to come here but I wasn’t about to die so I was like whatever. The fact it was a Thursday may have worked in our favor because there didn’t seem to be too many people there. As we climbed the humongous stairs I felt suddenly very overcome with a feeling of excitement. Through the enormous entrance there was a small tornado of people swirling around and trying to figure out where to go. Finally I spotted the booth where you could obtain tickets and when I saw that the suggested admission price for students was $12, I decided to give $15 for the both of us. I looked on the Met website to determine exactly where the best artwork was and as soon as we entered I began to look for the map. It was quite a long walk before we reached the exhibit so naturally I observed everything that I passed and took photos as well.
