I think that being a nursing student takes dedication and commitment, which was important for me to learn in my first year of college. My concerns are centered around my future, family and friends. I believe that my concerns are very self centered because of the point of my life that I am in. I am trying to find out who I am and where I belong in the world. My interests are…

It was a win or go home situation. Both teams were playing hard and giving it all they had. I remember like it was yesterday. It was bottom of the sixth inning and we had a runner on second base, score was tied 1-1. Tony tells the runner on second base to steal. The runner…

Of course, I’m being sarcastic. The only time it’s actually fun is when you’re annihilating the other team while they’re asleep on the field. Being on the other end of the stick in the situation makes you wish for a mercy on you and you can just go home and play Xbox for the rest of the night.

I was feeling pretty good…
