Work Work Work

These last couple of weeks have been kind of busy.It's not even the midterms everyone is talking about, it's more so the work that I have to do for my classes. It's kind of hard being a student athlete especially this being my first year here. I'm not use to all this work and then going to practice in the middle of the day. I'm use to having school and some time after school then I go to practice. Looking back to the first couple of weeks of english when we had to do the planned week I kinda wish I stuck to it. Because right now I feel like I have so much to do in so little time. I have a speech on friday and I have to practice for that, then I had to type the essay for this class. I’m like a little busy bee. I do think back to when it was easier in highschool and what if I was going to community college. Would it actually be easier? Looking at my friends that are attending community college the answer would be no.They still have to do the same thing I have to do, and if it's not going to class then its working. Imagine me working, going to school and running track. I know later on down the year I will start working on campus and its going to be a boat load of work on my shoulders but I think i will be ready.

Freakish

I just recently started and sadly finished a new show  called Freakish. At first glance I knew some people that star in it, some people from Youtube and Vine. So I already knew the acting was going to be trash because they never had experience with acting on a television show. But I guess in a way when they post skits and stuff on their social media that's acting but it's not really on the level. So first hand I was kind of skeptical about the show, but right after the first episode I was hooked. I started watching it non stop. Sadly there was only one season which consisted of ten episodes. So obviously I finished the season in one day. I watched it in bed, while hanging out with friends and even at the gym. If you could see the faces I was making at the gym it was hilarious because so much in the show was happening. Since Freakish is kind of a horror film I was jumping and trying to cover my eyes because of the fear of what's going to happen next.The show was controlling me in a way. I felt like I had to finish it in order feel good about myself. But when I watched the tenth episode I was so sad cause it left me on a cliffhanger. But overall the experience was cool I rarely start a new show, I usually stick with the ones I’ve been watching for a while. I think the excitement I get from watching this new show motivates me to venture out. We should all watch something out of our norm and we might like it.

Oakland to Turlock

Coming from Oakland to Turlock has been a big change to me. I always get the question, “Why Stanislaus?” and somethime I ask myself that same question. I didn't even look into Stan State when I applied. I just wanted to apply to as many schools I was financially able to. I really wanted to go to CSULB but I didn't get in. So my next choice was out of state. All through my senior year Ive was going back and forth with my mom about letting me go out of state. I was accepted and everything but I still wasn't able to go. When she told me why I was so mad and of course did not agree with her choice. She told me it's too far and if something was to happen to me nobody would be there to help me. I didn't understand until now. I'm glad I picked Stan State because I've been exposed to so much and it's only been a couple of months. Even though I thought I was going to have a boring time here, being in the middle of nowhere and all but it’s the total opposite. This experience has already taught me so much as well. Since Stan is a small campus it shows me how community is key. I’ve been able to grow a community within the people that live on my floor, with my track teammates and classmates. This community feels like a family, which makes Stan feel like home away from home in a way.
