Do what you love, and do it well.

That’s the one phrase I try and live by. I love doing LOTS of thing, but above all I love people. I just got done giving an AWESOME tour to a prospective student (Hi Camille!) and her family that really had no idea what Bradley University could offer them, and it was so gratifying and exciting for me to talk about and share the knowledge about a place I truly love. Honestly, it made me reflect on why I came to school here. I’m caught up doing so many things that I often forget to just take a step back and see where I’ve come from and where I’m going.

For instance, I can’t believe I’ve only been with my barbershop quartet for 5 months. It feels like we’ve been singing together for years. On the flip side, it’s downright scary to think that in two years, I’ll be a college graduate. Where do i go from there? What’ll be my first job? Do I continue to pursue something in sports? Yeesh. It’s a big thing. But luckily, I’ve got a solid year or so before I have to REALLY start worrying about that kind of stuff. 

Right now, I’m really just enjoying my time in Peoria. It’s been great to relax, hang out, see my friends that are here, sing with the quartet, learn how to cook on my own, all that kind of stuff. It’s hard to describe.

My dad comes to visit me on Friday, and I’m excited about that. I’ll get to show him the house I’m staying in for the summer, take him out to eat at FlatTop, and then we’re heading home to Berea on Sunday. I’ve got a big family reunion in Buffalo, NY over the 4th of July weekend, so I’ll spend a week at home and hang out with friends and such. It’s going to be awesome. 

I suppose that’s all for now.
