It's been awhile...

Well this is probably my first post in the last 7 or 8 months...So I guess I'll go over why I'm starting to blog again, just mostly to blow some steam and stress off my mind as well as it could be fun for a little bit. Probably gonna serve as a online, semi open journal.

In review, the rest of my senior year of high school was great. I had and still have a great group of friends from then. I hold them all dearly in my memories and life and I don't see us all growing apart until after college. Who knows, we all could still be in touch for the rest of our lives. But, as for now I'll live in the present and I don't see them going anywhere. I do miss high school a lot, just because home was so familiar and everyone was all so close. You kinda hate to see everyone all move apart and start on each of their own separate new lives. But, when you arrive back on break...it seems like everything the same all over again. Recently, I often wonder about how my younger friends are doing, like Troy and Matt. A year younger than I am, but they are more than half way there to the point where I'm at now and my advice to the young in high school, enjoy your time there, no regrets, and don't forget those memories. In my opinion college is great and all, but I disagree a common perception of how it is labeled "The best time of your life". Freedom, drinking, partying, having fun, and well sadly studying...is great and all, but high school can easily match all the fun you have here. To be honest, I've had crazy stories in college, but majority of them cannot even compare to the memories I've had in high school. Might be different for others, but I would have to say these 8 years, not 4, should be the great moments of your life.

Then summer came, oh was that great :) Beach week, trip with the family to the bahamas, I could not as for more. I would definitely have to say, greatest summer of my life (at least so far). I could not argue about that at all. If I were to list all those moments, I would be going on FOREVER!! That summer was only made special because of my loved ones and friends, especially one significant other, they know who they are. I could not ask for a better time in my life because of this person, but that's all moved on and was only one moment of my life. I live in the past a little too much. Currently my constant goal is to live in the present to be honest.


Here now in college at VCU, I had fun at first, but I ended up discovering myself a lot more. It's funny, you think you know who you are until something just strikes you out of nowhere, then you change. Haha it's almost like puberty, or right before you go to high school. It's like what my friend Eric said...there's always that awkward stage for people in life, and that was Middle School for most of us.

Anyway, I digress. Mostly what I discovered was, I no longer wanted to be an engineering major, I changed to undecided with a music minor, and now I'm currently looking to major in political science or sociology.

When I got to VCU, I was excited, like most college kids. I mean why wouldn't I be excited for college. I had fun at first partied, kept grades up, but after about the first week or two, I began to hate/strong dislike Richmond/VCU. Mostly because I wasn't doing something like band anymore which was a huge life style. A lot of the people here are cool, but not a lot of people I could get become pretty close friends with. People here are just way different than I am. Guess VCU/Richmond is no place for an Preppy Twinky Asian haha, as all my high school friends would say..."Pssh Ronny's not Asian". Another thing about VCU is too many racial cliques, as in Asians hang out with Asians, African-Americans hang out with each other, and about goes the same with Caucasians. Though VCU is racial diverse number wise, in my opinion socially, people do not diversify at all.

Because of these many reasons: Change of life style, needing to do band/drumline, and that the majority type of people here aren't right for me, I've been working on trying to transfer to JMU. It used to my first choice for colleges, I just never got in. For now I have a 4.0 and trying to maintain it, and just really focusing on my grades to get in to there. I know in my mind what I want to do now, and I know JMU is the right place for me, now it's just split half and half. 50% of me maintaining my grades and 50% based on what they think about me.

Well that was a lot to type, but myself in a nutshell the past 8 months or so. Hope whoever reads this will enjoy my blog. The posts after this will DEFINITELY be shorter haha.
