wow finally i realize what my parents go through!

lately, i've been feeling lazy and been sleeping way more then the usual college student most likely. When a day goes by of college, another day goes by with more homework and football practice(which has been draining practically all the life force i have inside of me) which makes my weeks feel longer than ever before. Back in high school, classes used to go by so fast that once i said an occasional "hi" to someone it was already time for me too leave. well now i have only 4 classes at the most and i feel like that is taking forever, even tho thats about 2 hours less of classes then i had before! I swear im starting to be like my parents now, knowing that all i wanna do when i get to my room is go to sleep or watch tv for the most part im starting to realize what my parent go through on a daily basis when they get back from work and dont want to talk to anyone,start arguing or anything and all they wanna do is shower up and go to sleep for the next day of work. Im starting to appreciation what my parents go through(even though it took me 18 years to finally realize that) they work so hard and go through alot of crap at work just to support us and the family. After experiencing this first hand, i have more respect for my parents and everybody else around me that i never had respect for before. I guess im starting to grow up a little bit everyday, finally realizing what my parents do and noticing why my dad starts yelling at me when i say "how was work" or anything, not knowing that they probably had a long day of work and thats the last thing they wanna talk about when they get home. Now since its the weekend, like any normal person all i wanna do is relax and enjoy my weekend until i so called get back to practice and school , aka WORK. So leaving off on a good note, hope everybody enjoys the weekend as much as im going to enjoy it and rememeber, start appreciating your parents more when you see them come back from work , so dont yell at them or start arguing cause you need money just let them relax and enjoy the couple hours rest they have , like anybody else would want.

the flaws of college

College is suppossed to be the greatest time of your life, where there's a new adventure everyday and the possibilities are limitless. But sometimes it makes me think did i make the right decision leaving home were my family and friends are? or did i make the right decision by moving on to bigger and better oppurtunities that await me in every corner. Well coming back from home this weekend made me think alot about' what if
's '. like what if i didnt move? what if i would of went to school in kingsville, where the rest of my class went? what if i didnt play sports in college? The things go running through my head like crazy lately but its probably for the best that i moved here. Other flaws about college is the abundant amount of homework and reading we deal with on a weekly bases that is hard to overcome, but you just got to manage your time and ACTUALLY DO YOUR HOMEWORK TO GET IT DONE! Another flaw i would say is you cant rely on anbody else to help you, your now a responsible grown-up suprissingly and have to do everything on your own withoout your mom or dad yelling at you to do this and that, while you tell them," i do it when i have a chance". when in other words you just tell them." ill just leave there until they come up too me or they do it themselves. College is actually the greatest experience i ever had, but you got to be aware of these flaws and fix them to make your college life alot easier and too get stuff done, because you dont have a maid or anything to come clean after you or do your homework( that would actually be great to have a maid do all that, ill probably check on craigslist later to see if they have one) there are many more flaws out there that i didnt mention, but these are the many ones that i think would affect almost every college student here i would think. Oh! and i frogot to add that you cant always rely on your mommy or dad for money now( even though i still rely heavily on mine) your going to have to act like a grown-up and actually get a job, i know its hard for most of us but it takes alot of stress off our parents knowing we could support ourselves. Well this is my blog for the week, well come back and see some more next week.

man what a week!

Waking up in the morning used to be one of the toughest things for me to do back in high school, being lazy as i am i feel like a bear in hibernation when i wake up and if anybody would wake me up i would attack like one! well not really but i would be really mad and occasionally start throwing things.But getting to my point, waking up is not a big deal compared to mountains of work and study i have to bear to keep my grades up and keep my self eligible for football especially.studying has always been a hard part for me especially since its hard for me to concentrate for long times and i usually get distracted by the smallest things which eventually throw me off my concentration resulting in unfinished studying. But besides talking about studying(which i should really stop talking about since i have to deal with it 24/7) college life has so far been an experience which was worth the money and sacrifices i took just coming here to pursue my education and make myself a better person than ever before.Like Friday evening, just got out of class with nothing to do and everybody away to either watch there teams play or just to go home to enjoy the comfort of having family memebers around them i decided to head out to the Comal River (which i have been talking about going to before i ever even thought about going to Texas Lutheran since the river was a beautiful, relaxing area which is not reduced to a flowing trash can, no literally but almost there) with a couple of friends and turned out to be the highlight of the week.First getting there i thought it was closed so i went to check the front desk to find out it was just emptied so we paid the cashier and rushed to the river with absolutely nobody there. well i was so excited i didnt notice my friends avoiding the steps going into the river, so like a little kid i ran in there and just feel the heels of my feet leave the ground, and you hear me," OH DANG", and fall right on my butt and slip right into the water! Great laughter surrounded my hearing as i see my friends cracking up and pointing at me laughing and the embarrassement i just endored at that moment i felt like the kid getting panced in the playing ground or something. well moving on with my head held high and my butt in sharp pain we journeyed down the river enjoying our day off of practice, which is hard to come by now a days. My day was filled with embarassement but as well with fun and relaxation, cause nothing at that moment was more relaxing then chilling with friends and enjoying the nice, beautiful day in the river the day we went on couldnt be any better. Well ending on a good note, life is'nt perfect so slipping on my butt in front of everybody shows even the most perfect guys can look silly, just kidding of course. I didnt think this assignment would be this much fun, but now getting into the writing and looking back at the times i endured i feel like this is going to be good year not just for school but blogging as well.

jason gaona,

college life a struggle or a oppurtunity?

well most people in my opinion would say that college life is too much of a hassle to deal with especially if you play sports, in band or any other extracurricular activity that has something to do outside of school, but i would say other wise.
Moving to Seguin, Texas a couple of weeks ago was a big transition from a population of only 3,500 to a town of atleast 25,000 with major cities close by with so much things too do i couldnt imagine doing half the things i've done now then i ever could of thought of doing back home. But having fun is only the half of it, juggling around school and sports is so dificult its hard to imagine how any college athletes could do all this at once and still graduate in 4 years. Well so far im loving every single moment of college right now, every person has there own opinion about this subject but mine is that im enjoying everthing even the school work! which is suprising to me, since i really hated school related work during high school and now im enjoying it in college which is 10 times harder and about 10 times more reading then i ever had to do in my life. But its like what Ralph Waldo Emerson once quoted." All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. So its saying in teenager terms, that it doesnt hurt trying new things, new experiences will better a person in any possible way so just go out there and have fun and enjoy your life. In ending statements, college life has been a fun, experimental experience that not only better me as a person, but as an individual as well. i know my blog is probably boring to most people, but sorry i just wrote how i feel about my experience at college right now and hope to endure many more new things to come in this following year at Texas Lutheran
University. This is just one of many post that i have coming up in this year, but ill make sure to make the more adventurous and exciting in the coming up weeks doing my blogs.
