My first full week of college life and I’ve learned a few things; don’t buy drinks in the cafeteria a dollar sixty for 12 ounces? No. Get drinks from vending machines, same for food it’s quite pricey. Next up are books, wow want to save like seventy-five bucks? Buy them used at Mando’s bookstore, not the college bookstore. Also, as a particular teacher keeps reminding me, SIGN YOUR E-MAILS (caps lock is cruise control for cool) it helps the teachers know who is e-mailing them and allows them to have a full conversation with you instead of just “who is this?”
Other than the advice you’ve just received my college experience has been a bit shaky at the start. Couldn’t write so I needed a computer to take notes, challenging getting used to the amount of homework, and to top it off I got way sick on one of my first days. And in my class Comm 120 that’s strike one, two more and I fail straight out. I don’t think I’ll miss anymore of that class though, it’s pretty awesome. I played a game of chess with a complete stranger too, I believe he’s on the basketball team and let me say, He’s pretty good at chess.
Also out of the couple thousand people that attend TC3 I see some of the people I know from high school. I’ve already seen O.V.’s greatest basketball player David Cerasani and one of my good friends who graduated with me Weylin Schloth. I got to say it’s going to be a pretty decent year, just got to hangout and meet new people.
Well that’s about it, I’m going to leave you with this link to a video of my new personnel hero Mustard. (I do not claim the rights to this video nor do I claim the rights to this song I am merely reposting a video uploaded to the "Opievideo" channel of youtube)

Yea man, the work load is a HUGE adjustment... its seems like every free moment I have is spent doing a few calculations for a complicated physics problem that I've spent about 2 hours on total. It's hard, it's challenging, but it is most certainly rewarding. In high school, it kind of felt like you were just doing the work to get to the next step, or just because you had to. In college, it really feels like you're bettering your education, and that you're making progress and actually accomplishing things as you do the work. You learn so much is such a short amount of time...
