Damn That Was A Quick Four Years

I used to think I would never go to college.  In high school I always tried to hide that I was smart, like it was an insult or something.  It was cool not to care.  I could not see the finish line.  I remember my Senior year, after I got hurt playing football I just had no reason to go to school anymore, so I stopped.  Since I had so much attendance built up from the season, I could basically stop going to school.  I picked up a job at UPS and stopped doing any school work.  I really didn't think I had a future in college.  I didn't believe that I was smart enough.  Working at UPS made me change my mind.  There was a man that I met there that helped me change my mind.  He showed me that my future was not in a factory.  I shouldn't give up so easily.  He had made the decision at a young age to work instead of going to college.  He regretted that decision everyday.  His influence and another life changing moment made me chose to go to college.  I realized that I was smart and knew that I just needed to put forth the effort.  It has been four years since then and I can barely recognize the person I am today.  I wish I could have gone back in time and talked some sense into myself.  I am happy where I am today.  Although I'm sad I'm graduating, I know it makes my parents proud.  In the end, it was not only about changing myself, but becoming the person that my parents wanted me to be.

4/20....A Holiday for High School Kids and Why You Should Drink in The Library

Let me start off by saying, if you are in college you either smoke weed pretty consistently or you don't.  4/20 is a holiday where you skip out on school and get high.  There is no need to do that in college.  Half the students are probably high and sometimes even the teachers.  This is not called a holiday, it is called real life.  I'm just impressed that a bunch of high people were organized enough to create this holiday.  That itself should break a few myths.  But honestly, there is really no reason to celebrate 4/20 like it is the best thing ever.  Maybe if they sold weed legally and they gave discounts, I would be down to celebrate.  Last time I checked, drug dealers don't give discounts and if they do, it still ain't free 99.  The real holiday should be a personal holiday.  Examples of this are, getting really high before class, drinking before a group presentation, or just being fucked up for a sober occassion.  While this is fun, I only advise doing this if you will probably do well in the class and if you are a decently smart person.  A stupid person getting high is a dangerous combination.  That's why for seniors you should drink in the library.  Does this reasoning make any sense?  Not really, but if you drunk in the library, about to graduate, and tired of doing work, then drinking in the library is for you!

Disclaimer: I am definitely not doing this right now....Definitely...

Pi Kapp Formal = Shitshow

I have to say I never thought I was going to set up a formal this good.  To be completely honest, it was mostly by luck and all last minute but it still was awesome.  The only problem was that I kinda fucked the under aged kids over but shit happens.  There is just nothing to do in a big city if you're underaged.  I'm sorry but you're beat.  Get older or go away.  Besides that shit was crazy.  I had us stay in a nice hotel called the Winston Convention Center.  It was pretty expensive but I also was able to set the dinner up there so it all worked out.  I forgot to mention that the formal was in Pittsburgh.  I really needed to get out of Morganhole...I mean town for a week.  It was a great week off.  Strangly, although I was not in Morgantown, I still saw Ton from Bent Wileys.  How can this small asian man be everywhere at once?  This is quite a question, with no good answers.  After the dinner we got in a taxi and went to club Diesel.  I think that is how you spell it but I was really drunk and happy to give the responsibilities of forming a late night to someone else.  I spent entirely to much money on bottle service and pretty sure I tore my shirt off in the club.  Besides a few assholes destroying their rooms everything went great.  Can't wait to graduate so I can come back for next years formal. haha

Favorite Viral Video

Being a internet video connoisseur, I have seen lots of different kinds and styles of videos.  While I truely do enjoy watching someone getting injured (especially the grape stomping lady), I love the viral videos that show amazing human feats.  I mean Seriously...how the fuck is this possible. Who can possible jump out of a pool?  I can barley get out of the pool.  Jumping out of a pool like that just amazes me.  This is the best type of viral video.  Something that you cannot believe could possibly happen.  That's why the internet is so great.  In my opinion, videos like these will increase, but so will the ability of companies to create them for advertising.  If there was a coke bottle in the shot, I duno if I would really believe that this was real.  But since I've seen the actual guy interviewed before and know that it is real, I am just more impressed.  This is something that I wish I could do, but no matter how hard I could work, I don't think I could ever do that.  This is what viral video is all about.  Catching rare, amazing moments.

SGA aka My Magic Table Leg

Seriously....the student government at WVU is getting out of hand.  http://www.thedaonline.com/news/governor-says-cheng-assaulted-him-classless-1.2146326    Just read this article and you will not be able to stop laughing.  My only real problem with this whole article, since I support people getting beat by table legs, is the fact that if this was to happen to a regular student they would for sure be in trouble.  When this happens to a SGA member, they only thing that they ever face is an article in the newspaper.  Last semester, a member of SGA was caught hazing by the cops, ran, and was still found not guilty by the school.  What?  The school policy for normal students is so strict that this is normally an open and shut case, but somehow this SGA member was able to get off scott free.  Now you have the Governor and the Vice President fighting in the Mountainlair without anyone seeing anything.  HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY NOT NOTICE AN ASIAN MAN WEARING A GI (tradition karate uniform) CHASING THE GOVERNOR AROUND WITH A "TABLE LEG", YELLING AND SCREAMING, IN THE MOUNTAINLAIR.  There is no way no one saw that.  The mountainlair has been packed all week and your telling me this goes on and no one sees it.  By the way, I totally would of beat that kids ass who was supposedly printing shirts that said my girlfriend had chlamydia, but I digress.  I loved this story, but it pisses me off how the school just dismisses it and somehow no one knows anything.  Try being a regular student and denying something.  You'll still get in trouble.  While I love seeing crazy stuff like this go on, it just continues to point out the hypocrisy that constantly occurs at WVU.
