It's funny how this day in age that everyone just seems to be sucked up into this whirlwind of technology. Now days instead of actual human interactions and talking to a person face to face, it's all about "tweeting" that person or sending them a "snapchat". Unfortunately, technology has an addiction that can sometimes consume our life. Adults are constantly nagging and exclaiming all this new technology is rotting their kids' brains. I agree with this to a certain extent, but we also tend to overlook the joys that technology can bring to kids.

This year was my first semester of college and I was out on my own. I think one part of high school I never really learned was how to make the jump to college. I remember being told to the workload was much harder in college but I never really had a teacher to tell me that my life would be a bit different. Anyway, this kind of took me by surprise my first semester and I didn't really cope with it to well.

During Thanksgiving Break I had a serious talk with my parents and that kind of settled my nerves. I think the big problem was I am at a community college but I am living three and a half hours away. For those who don't know I attend Blinn Community College in Bryan, Texas. Blinn has a big reputation for being a stepping block so kids can eventually transfer into Texas A&M. Like many other students there, my ultimate goal is to be accepted and attend Texas A&M.  I tend to be a bit pessimistic so I was always worrying about what if my grades aren't good enough. After talking with my parents, I kind of got my head straight and just decided "I'll worry about that when the times comes".

Next semester starts in a week and I've just been sort of thinking about a way I can express my joys/frustrations of college life instead of stressing myself out all the flipping time! I ultimately decided a blog would the appropriate approach due to my enjoyment of writing and my knowledge of technology. See how that all kind of tied up to beginning? While technology has its flaws, it can also give us a matter of perspective and help us show the way we feel. So this is my first blog post and I hope there are many more to come.
