My Journey

March 5, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

When you like someone (in a way that’s more than friends), you want to see that person, talk to them, and find out more and more about them.  Specifically, you want to know who they are.  We all do stupid things sometimes, and last weekend was probably one of my moments. I really like this girl who’s gone for a while, so I decided to drive down and see her.  So I left and drove through the Snowicane to see her.  It was rain from Amherst to about New Haven, CT.  Then all hell broke loose and it was snowing pretty hard on the George Washington Bridge, and for the rest... [Read the full story]

What to look for in a relationship?

February 25, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

My dad had always told me that the sole point of college was to teach you to ask “Why?”  I think that I have also come to the conclusion that college just asks you to question everything, to think about what priorities exist to you, who you are, and what you can live with.  I’ve learned to look at what I want and work towards that.  I’ve recently began looking at who I’m friends with, why I am friends with them, and what can I do to be better friends with those people.  It’s weird, because I’ve only recently become close with people I’ve been friends with for... [Read the full story]

My Spring Break Plans

February 24, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

I am planning on staying around Amherst for Spring Break 2010, meaning during my college career I haven’t gone anywhere for spring break.  At the moment, it’s kind of a money issue, and definitely a lack of planning. Things I do want to do are: Check out Curling in Petersham Indoor Water Park in Fitchburg Maybe try skiing again?-Wachusett Paper City Brewery Tour Wachusett Brewery Tour I guess there’s a lot on that list, but only skiing I’ve done before.  Hopefully people will be interested in doing these things with me, so I am not a complete loner during break.  Read More →

My Sixth Sense

February 23, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

Everyone has a unique sixth sense, some abnormal ability that they just know something to their core.  I have two- one is the ability to know when a speed trap is ahead.  I just know, before people even start braking.  My other, and more impressive sixth sense is knowing when people are upset. The problem is: most of the world is upset a majority of the time.  I look around and just know so many people are upset.  So many people are unhappy with what they are doing, waiting for the end of the day, living for the weekend. I don’t know why people could be so happy, it’s... [Read the full story]

Bike Ride Across the United States Summer 2010

October 27, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

It was around this time last night when I was awake and thinking about certain things that I wanted to do.  What came to mind was traveling the United States.  I have always wanted to go to all 50 states and see the best of what is there.  While I wanted to do this in a car, and eventually I will get to it, I decided Summer 2010 is going to be about a bike ride across the United States.  I began to research as much as I could and came upon a website with great information and routes.  This website even gave me bike routes. http://www.adventurecycling.org/routes/ Here is... [Read the full story]

Chapter 2 – Love, what it means, and why

February 19, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

Love probably now needs some sort of definition, because many people see it as many different things. To tell you the truth, I really never thought about what love meant to me prior to college, it was just something you said when you cared about someone. That was just the way it was for me. I always think the best way to start is by being friends with someone, because you get to know who they really are.  If that turns into a relationship, fantastic, and if not at least you made a friend.  It’s important to me to just take time to know someone and find out what they like, what they... [Read the full story]

What is really the most important thing?

When you are on the verge of something, you reflect on how and why you got where you currently are.  This is where I am right now.  While the past is there and the future is ahead of you, the present is where you need to live.  It’s weird to think that at what point you were one of the key components to something,...

Spring Break 2010

I have been trying to figure out exactly what I’d like to do for spring break 2010, my last spring break of college.  While there are many choices, three options have been suggested as of thus far.  I will begin saving up now as work will be difficult with a full course load this Fall. 3) Ireland While...

Why Do People Pass Away?

Why is life constructed in such a way that people are taken from us?  While science can explain all of how this happens, death is a very necessary part of life.  Life becomes that much more important when we have some sort of purpose, some sort of closure possible for those around us. According to the Kübler-Ross...
