As I sit here in my dorm at Michigan State waiting to be picked up to go home for the summer, I remember all the good times that I have had this year. I have spent the better part of a year living in this 12' by 12' room that I have called home away from home for 8 months. Now I am leaving MSU for the summer--returning to my real home which ( Read more... )

So, I haven't posted in a long time so I thought I would take a few minutes to update. How's everyone doing? I hope everyone had a really nice spring break and that your semester is going well ( Read more... )

Since I haven't updated this journal in a long time I figured I would take some time out to reflect upon my first semester at Michigan State.

I absolutely love the campus, my classes are mostly good, I like my roommate and my suitemates (of course), and I have had a lot of fun. Welcome ( Read more... )

So, I just got back from Detroit after seeing an amazing game at Comerica Park! There were 43,000+ fans there-standing room only-but we had seats 9 rows up from home plate. The Tigers were losing by 1 run when the bottom of the 9th inning began. I turned to my sister and said, “I can just feel it. They’re going to win.” Well sure enough they ( Read more... )

A group of us were together last night and decided a meeting place and time to go to Bay City for the fireworks tomorrow night. Here is the information... spread the word--everyone is welcome ( Read more... )

So, I haven't updated in a month. A lot has happened during this time. I finished my Spring classes (Chemistry and Accounting). It feels really good to be done for the rest of the summer. I have now started working 30 hours per week, so the extra money will be really nice ( Read more... )
