Band Camp and First Day of College.

   

     I will say one thing, and one thing only about what I've learned while being around college kids for the past week; don't go alone.

This applies to all genders, races, (most) situations, and all species of human beings.
     Don't go alone to a party, have someone watch over you and drive you home safely if you partake in college activities.
     Don't walk alone down the street, yes guys, you too. Anything can happen to anyone no matter the number of people, but a singular person is an easier target.

   

That being said, today marked my induction into becoming a Missouri Tiger. Marching Mizzou played at the quad after the Freshman, like myself, hauled ass through the columns and tried not to get trampled over. Me and the rest of color guard were in the front of the group, there was a lot of pressure.

     I sometimes forget why I put myself through the countless hours in the blazing sun spinning a hot metal flag, and then I remember what friends I have already become so close to and classes haven't even started yet. There's no way I will be doing more than a two years in college guard, and that's fine because for me, it's all about the people.

     I do not enjoy talking to people and meeting new people, but I force myself into situations like that so I'm not that one kid. And usually it works out.


I apologize or the lack of posts, college, my job, and M2, will be consuming my life for the next while or so.

Live well pizza bites.
