What is A Life Without Ones to Call ‘Friends’?
Another school year has come and gone; another stage of life has ended and a new one has begun. Being in the professional program of accounting, I still have one semester of college left; however, as a member of the Class of 2012, many of the friends that I have made throughout college will be [...]
You Can’t Spell ‘Pride’ Without ‘I’
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” – Proverbs 11:2 What is “pride?” Webster’s dictionary defines it as the following: The quality and state of being proud: as inordinate self-esteem. In other words, this means being full of yourself. It means putting yourself first over others. It means making sure that [...]
Lessons From the Past, Implications For the Future
And just like that, my spring trip to Washington, D.C., was over in a blink of an eye. It was a difficult realization when I boarded the plane to leave the city and return to College Station. While I did not want to leave, the Presidential Fellows Program with the Center for the Study of [...]
How Many Weeks of Classes Are Left?
I can never accurately count how many weeks of classes are left (mastering that skill taught for the TAKS test was always difficult for me), but from my understanding and what others have told me, we have roughly 6-7 weeks left of classes. To think that this semester is already halfway finished is amazing due [...]
Getting Back Into the Swing of Things
Are you kidding me? I have to start classes already? Oh, wait. I’ve already been in classes for five weeks now taking a minimester. I guess I cannot use the excuse of getting back into the swing of things to remedy my frequent overlook of events in my calendar or my propensity to oversleep in [...]

Oh, Hello Mr. President
With my trip to Washington, D.C. for the Presidential Fellows Program conference quickly approaching, I have become very excited about all the activities I will partake in while there. I recently received my schedule for the trip, and there are numerous events that normal tourists would not be able to enjoy. One of the most [...]
Hello, Win Column!
Forget football (well not really forget, because I love Texas A&M football), but what a joyous day it is to have the Major League Baseball World Series back in Arlington, Texas! Yes, I said Arlington. No, not Dallas, like most people think and hear on TV. If anywhere, it’s closer to Ft. Worth than the [...]
What About the Fun?
We all understand that college is about learning responsibilities, making good grades and obtaining that oh-so-cherished degree before moving out into the “real” world. That cannot be all that college is about, can it? Well, that’s why Texas A&M has 800+ student organizations to quench your thirst of social interaction, leadership and involvement. Being involved in organizations [...]
Exactly How Much is that Exam Weighted?…
Welcome to college! Three exams in two days with a football game, organization meetings, and other homework? That’s do-able… right? While you may not think it’s possible, it does not negate reality. In the past three years at Texas A&M, I have had many exceptional lecturers and professors in Mays Business School. Many have become [...]
