As the season changes over and the temperature begins to cool, I once again initiate my annual fall tradition of acquiring a fire pit. My first as a married man, but more importantly my first as a “more domesticated man.” Meaning I didn’t simply dig a hole in the ground and throw some bricks around… Continue reading I Like Big Fires and Cannot Lie
1 – Scholarships: Now before you click away thinking this page has nothing to offer you just know that I too was in the camp of “here are the 100 reasons why I won’t get scholarships.” Your lack of confidence is justified because statistically most of y’all are probably the average American student. And being… Continue reading 10 Things I Did to Pay for College
During my senior year of high school, I never saw going to a four-year college as a real option. It wasn’t that I didn’t have the academic preparation, I took every AP class offered like a good little suburban white boy should (it was that or that fact that taking 3 AP classes my senior… Continue reading How I Graduated College Without Student Loans

I say just realized in the sense… Continue reading My Epiphany

This week I have been going non-stop studying for my various midterms. Only taking a break to play monopoly Monday night, which I absolutely demolished all my friends and… Continue reading How to Have 5 Homes While in College

Normally people say, “you couldn’t pay me enough to do that homework assignment,” but now we are saying, “I barely had enough money to do that… Continue reading I Have to Pay to Do My Homework?
Today is the first day of summer school. Now this isn’t my first rodeo, I’ve taken classes in those months designated for working, napping, and soaking up the sun.
