Quote

The quote I can personally relate to the most is “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you” by Maya Angelou because I love telling stories and I like to tell people about my experiences and how weird, unique and fun they all are. When something happens like my dad’s 50^th birthday, I had to tell everyone how crazy of a night it was. I took shots with Ross’ parents (he’s in our class) and I love telling people the story I can’t hold it in! I could add that some stories need to be held in. I would never tell some stories to my parents I would never want them hearing some of the things I’ve done when they aren’t around. want A specific experience that the quote reminds me of was in ENC this summer for project two. I wrote a paper about something that a lot of my friends don’t know about and my parents definitely don’t know about. It felt like it was a story I had to write about because I had to tell people about my experience and how different it is from the norm. 

FSU Organizations

One student organization I would like to be a part of at FSU is a fraternity. The frats I’m looking into are Delt, Theta Chi, and Phi Delt. When I was back in Miami a group of fourteen of us called ourselves RNO and I guess you could say it’s the closest thing to a frat that I’ve been in. We would haze each other in a way by forcing one of us to do something that was probably drinking related. Also every weekend at least once we would gather at one of our houses and have a beer pong tournament. We even had an official bottle opener, a piece of sod to pee on and RNO labeled ping pong balls. Yeah we took this stuff very seriously. I’ve already been checking out the houses and Phi Delt has a massive mansion with a basketball court, a lawn of grass in the middle of the house and a huge party area inside the house. Delt is also very interesting, they are probably one of the top if not the top frat on campus and they have a couple kids that I know from back home already in it. They throw sick parties like the 4th of July that I went to and they get tons of very attractive girls that ride to their parties which interests me very much. Theta Chi might just be where I end up though, they have five people from back home that I know in the frat already. They’re all pushing me really hard to join too so it might be hard to say no. They’re up there as one of the top frats but they don’t have a real house, they have an apartment complex for the brothers and a small party house out behind the apartments. Anywhere I join I’m sure I’ll like and I’m really excited to rush because I love when kids underestimate my abilities because I’m athletic, and I can party really hard. Maybe telling them that I won the senior superlative for most outgoing at my school will help me but I can’t wait to experience it.

FSU challenges

This upcoming school year everything will be a challenge to me. My social life, health, grades, friends, stress, money, and exercise are all challenges that I’m already facing in the summer. The biggest problems I’ve had to face so far are handling money, my health, and my social life. I’ve learned very quickly that going out to bars and clubs five times a week can eat up my money pretty fast and that I won’t be able to do this during the fall with 4 classes. I think what I will do is limit myself to three nights a week, two weekend days and maybe some white trash on Wednesdays or Pots Purgatory on Thursdays. Going out also cost a lot of money, I somehow have found myself spending almost fifty dollars on some nights which can’t happen. I have a meal plan so I should never eat out to save money and when I do go out I want to limit myself to twenty dollars a night. Also I need to not be so tempted to buy girls drinks unless I know it’ll work in my favor for sure. As I write this blog I’m quite sick, it’s been the first time in over a year so it’s definitely Tally getting to me. Getting the right amount of sleep and having a healthy diet factor into my health which is hard adjusting to. Exercise is key too, playing baseball always kept me in shape but now I think I’ll have to work out about three times a week to stay fit and keep my body going. Some of my best friends are going to different schools in Oklahoma, Alabama and Indiana so I have to try to plan road trips to go see them on down weekends in Tally. Making adjustments will be hard but I have a lot of friends in Tally that should all watch out for me and make sure I’m making the right decisions as I will do for them.

The major I would like to study and

The major I would like to study and Florida State is Sports Management. Sports have always been my passion in life since I can remember. Since I was four I’ve played football, soccer, basketball, and baseball. Football is the sport that really caught my eye, it’s such a unique and strategic game that I would love to be part of. In Sports Management I would aspire to be in the managing office handling players and scouting other teams. This is a very hard job to get that requires that I start low and work my way to the top with a lot of patience. Before I chose Sports Management I wanted to be a Sports broadcaster, for preferably football and basketball. My senior year in high school I joined the Television Production class to get my broadcasting career a start. The year went horribly, our studio with all the equipment was under remodeling all year so we didn’t really have a class we would make videos days in advance and air them once a week. Then as a class in March we took a trip to Los Angeles for the Student Television Network convention. The convention was a blast until one night me and some of my classmates got caught walking around the hotel past curfew. My friend lied and said we weren’t part of the convention but they knew we were so thy decided we would be aiding the convention in setting up and breaking down sets and stages for the last two days there. This made me hate the thought of going into the television business and almost immediately I decided I would go into Sports Management. The field of Sports Management isn’t very broad so I’ll have to work hard to get what I want and I think at Florida State I will succeed in doing so.
