Why Am I Still Skinny!

Weight, now days everyone talks about watching it. Well apparently I don’t have anything at all to worry about. When I graduated high school I weighed 135 pounds. Correction when I was in the 11th grade I weighed that much. So apparently I’m not good at the whole gaining weight thing. Well back in May everyone was telling me that I would have to watch my weight because everyone gains weight their first year at college. They called it the freshmen 15. Oh but no that doesn’t apply to me. Ha I weighed myself yesterday and I weighed 133. Yes I lost 2 pounds, not anything close to gaining 15. This is not fair at all, how come I get excluded from everything even gaining weight. I like to eat so I never really skip a meal unless I don’t have time. Maybe it’s because I still exercise pretty regularly that has to be it. I still don’t exercise as much as I did. I mean I was running like 3 miles every day and working out for soccer. Maybe the stresses of college keep the pounds off. All of this studying and cramming for major test and exams and just deadlines are pretty stressful. Maybe I still have a fast metabolism and that’s keeping me from gaining weight. Well now that I just thought about it, why am I complaining in the first place! This is a good thing and I’m glad I haven’t gained any weight.

House Party

The year is 1999 and a kid from my school is having a couple friends over to keep him company while his parents are gone on a business trip. Little did he know that this was going to be one of the wildest nights of his life? Josh’s parents pack the car and hug him while running out of the door screaming “we left you money on the table, we’ll be back on Tuesday, and don’t forget to feed the dog”! Josh, knowing as always that his parents were late for their flight, didn’t slow them down as they ran out the door. As the door slammed and the parents rushed out of the drive way and out of sight, Josh picked up the phone and called Brandon. Now Brandon and Josh did everything together, they we inseparable. They were like mixing gas and matches and they never stayed out of trouble. When Brandon got to Josh’s house they were immediately dumbfounded with what they were going to do with a house to themselves for a whole weekend. It didn’t take them long to realize what had to be done. So each got on the phone and called up all of their buddies and all the local girls from school. Each call consisted of these words, “party at Josh’s house tonight at 6:30, tell everyone”! Before they knew it they had hundreds of kids coming to their party. Well the main key to this whole story is Brandon was good friends with the lead singer of a new local band called 3 Doors Down. When brad picked up the phone and heard the news, it immediately struck him that they had to play at this party. Brad called up Brandon and told him the news, Brandon and Josh became ecstatic! They knew their party would be the best of the century. Well, the band came first that afternoon and started setting up the set. Then, one by one the crowd started flowing in. Before Josh knew it he had over two hundred teenagers in his house screaming and having the time of their life. Finally the band kicked off and the people flowed outside onto the back porch. By the end of the show 3 Doors Down had everyone jumping up and down screaming with excitement. Josh knew this was the best night of his life, until disaster finally struck. 3 Doors Down was actually too pumped they had the crowd jumping so hard that the beams that support the main section of the deck shattered, and all came crashing down. Thankfully no one was hurt and the band was set up on the cement part, not the deck. All in all, after the night whisked away and the last stragglers stumbled off into the night, Josh and Brandon had one of the greatest nights of their life. After that night, everyone was talking about the new local group 3 Doors Down. They were extremely known throughout the community as the new sensational rocking group. Nights like these create memories and even change people’s life. I mean hey, it certainly changed the bands life forever. And that’s the story on how my cousin actually had 3 Doors Down play at his party before they were nationally a huge rock band.

Sigma Chi

Hey there, this week I’m going to be talking about my fraternity. To start off let me say that I am a Sigma Chi. I am much honored to be part of the Sigma Chi tradition. I’m not officially part of the fraternity yet but I am a rushing with the pledge class of 08. I’m very excited about the people I am meeting and the bonds that I am going to be making for the rest of my life with my brothers. They say that we will “marry and bury” our brothers, meaning we will be there for them when they get married, and we will be there for them when they get buried. I am meeting all new kinds of older guys that are taking me under their wing and just showing me the ropes of the real life of a Sigma Chi. Then there’s my pledge brothers. So far I love every single one of them. They are all a trip. Every single one of them has a different personality and is great in their own way. We all have at least one thing in common with each other. This next week is going to be some of the greatest memories of my life. Oct, 3 is formal rush and I can’t wait. I know it’s going to be hell but it’s going to be great memories and a heck of a time. We get to do the traditional run down the row and then on Saturday we a throwing a massive band party. Then on Tuesday we are having a toga party that is just going to be a fulfillment of one of my dreams ha. There will be girls and men in togas getting down with the get down… it doesn’t get much better than that. But yeah I’m super excited about my fraternity so yeah peace.
