The Female Mind

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies. Can't live with you and for darn sure can't live without you. The question I think we all want to know is what you are looking for in a male? Personally I don't even know if most of you know the answer to that, but let me tell what I have observed from my 19 years of living.

I feel like ladies are always looking for that special man, but there are certain obstacles that jump in the way from you all finding that man. These obstacles are all materialistic. They are things like money, cars, jewelery, etc. You might find a man that is great for you but society or your friends say because he does not have this, this, and that then he is no good. Not all females do this though. There are definitely a lot of great women in this world that are willing to sacrifice a lot for a man because they know he has potential and even though he might not have it all now he treats you like no other man has before. With time all the wants you have will be given to you trust me. Ladies I have learned that you look for what you want in a man instead of what you need. True? I believe so.

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies. It is amazing how you all love and fantasize over something you will never have. It is great to dream, but lets dream realistically. Trey Songz is not thinking about you trust me. I don't mean to be a downer or seem like the dude just trying to act like all girl don't have their head on straight. These are just some things I have noticed. In college you all run to the frat guys, athletes, etc. Why not run to a scholar? Don't let what society and the different magazines you might read determine what is right for you. Every single one of you have a mind of your own so lets please use it. You all say you are independent right? Prove it.

On a better note, there are a number of females all over that have been hurt by no good men and it has hurt and will for ever affect how you choose men. I apologize for all of the men that treat women this way, but ladies the future waits on no man or woman. It is time to move on and there are many men out here that will make you forget all about your ex-boyfriend. Just give them a chance.

The female mind might be the most complex thing on this planet and none of us will ever understand what really goes on up there. All I ask is don't let society tell you what you should and should not like. Just be yourself and everything is yours. Ladies as much as I hate to admit it you really do run this beautiful world we all live in.

Love You All

Great Motivational Speaker: Eric Thomas

The month of October was all fun and games for me. I felt like i could just party and do what ever I wanted and still do well academically. I could not have been more wrong! I needed some type of motivation and little did I know that I would find the motivation from my freshman year CAAP advisor, Eric Thomas.
He was always helping me and encouraging me then, but now it is touching and putting me back on my path of success more than ever. So now in the month of November I have turned my life around and I dedicate most of that change to Eric Thomas because of his words of encouragement and motivation. You all might be thinking he has only done this for me, but no many people can hear his word throughout the week. 

Eric Thomas also know as ET has 10 minute videos he does every Monday and sometimes Tuesdays to get your week started off right. These videos are called Thank God It's Monday (TGIM) or Thanks God It's Tuesday (TGIT) which can be viewed on YouTube or on his website theetstory.org. Then every Wednesday he Ustreams at 6 a.m getting that hump day Wednesday started off right with the encouragement you need to do everything you have on your schedule for that day and for the rest of the week. 

Other ways you can check ET out is on Twitter, Facebook, and his other website etthehiphoppreacher.com.

Thanks Mr. Thomas for everything and I encourage everyone to listen to some of ET's work because I guarantee it will change your mind frame and help you  to feel and know that you can really do anything you want to in life.

Real Definition of College

  
Many people believe that college is all about partying. Do not get me wrong I have been known to be at almost every party, but over these past couple weeks I have noticed something that I think everyone should know.
     I learned the real definition of college. College is not partying, it is not drinking or smoking, it is not a place where you can go just to be away from your parents. College is a place to learn, network, and experience things you never will in your life. There will always be time for fun and games during the number of years you will be at college, but do not let it keep you from achieving your real goals in life. Many of us come into college with a dream of what we want to be and do in life and we figure just by taking the classes we need and getting good grades it is enough to get us to that dream job. That is completely false. Getting good grades is great, but there is a lot more to it than that. One big thing is networking, I have come to find out that it really is a lot about who you know in this world when you are trying to go places and be apart of different things in the real world. Second people have to gain experience in the field they want to go internships with internships or maybe some job shadowing. A lot of college student watch television and believe everything will just come to them, but this is going to take a lot of work and its going to take a lot of cutting back from many things that you are use to doing like maybe Twitter, Facebook, friends, and even sleep.
     The world is a tough place and there are thousands of people competing for the same job you may want in the future, but you have to make sure you have more experience and you look better on paper than any of other people you are competing against. Life is a big game and no one likes to lose so just like people play Call of Duty or NBA 2k all day to get better at the game, it is time to play the game of life and use college as a key to open all the doors you need to in order to get to the places you wanted right now. I hope a lot of people that read this are young college students because the earlier you set yourself on the right path the better. I am currently a sophomore at MSU and I feel like I am learning this to late, but as they say better late than never.
     The time is now especially for the college students. Take advantage of all the opportunities you have around your campus. Start networking, get involved in clubs, start a club on campus you may like, limit the partying, and build yourself into who you want to be in the future. Remember the true definition of college and why you are really there and in the end there will be nothing, but success in your future. Good Luck!
