Man I love college

A lot has changed since I "began college." Notice began college was in quotes because I am not counting from when I got to school. I am counting from when I became single and started exploring college life, making good friends and what not. Now I was told once when I got to college I would make all NEW Friends. That these friends would be my life long ones. Now I know there are a good number of friends from high school those who I have told I see as a "Best Friend" and there are about six of them that I will see myself being friends with forever. But The friends you make your Freshmen year are most likely the ones that you will still be friends with in twenty years and such. So here are my friends that I see almost every day or very close to it. If you did not make it into this or I left you out I am so sorry I was writing this at midnight and maybe you should just spend more time with me or something... so yeah.

Now I would have to say my first "college" friends were Jay, Joey, and Isaac. Jay and Joey live in the room next to me and Isaac just lives in their room most weeks. At this point I would have to say out of everyone in the dorm Joey is the one guy I would say is a good friend of mine who I would definitely hang out with next year and beyond. Now there were others in the dorm who I became friends with. For a long while I was really good friends with David, Pat, and sam but as of lately I do not see my ATO buddies around very much.

I did Meet a guy in my  freshmen seminar class named Jesse. Now when I first met him I did not really connect with him right away but I ran into him a few times around campus. Now I did not know it at the moment but since returning from winter break Jesse went from a common acquaintance when I went to see James Bond with him to someone I would find it weird if I did not see every day. Out of all my friends at the dub now I would say there are two I would call one of my best friends and Jesse is one of them. I do have to credit Jesse with introducing me to almost everyone else in the group including Rachael who was also in my seminar class. 

Of course I can not forget Caleb and ED. Caleb is straight out of the 919 just like me and keeps it real. Me and caleb have become quite good friends from dates over spring break to breakfast before our psych class. With his and everyone elses help I have managed to find my way back to church and began seeing God as a big part of my life again. I do give the most credit for this to ED though. I met ED long after every one else in the group and he was already known as the "crazy out there guy." I found ED to have a personality very close to mine right away and with in the week of meeting him we were out getting Nice together and I was sleeping on his floor. It was not even a full two weeks before he was my best friend (okay co best friend with Jesse). Oh and me and Ed got the new POKEMON game to battle each other and what not, thanks for being my bro.

Than there is Dylan Dodson.  Dylan went to my high school and is the only green hoper that I hang out with on a regular basis. Now I do see Mike Santry and Brittney Moore a good bit but we don't hang out very often. Me and Dylan were NOT friends in high school. Unlike Jesse and Caleb who hated each other first semester me and Dylan were not enemies. We like to think of it more as rivals. He used plastic eggs to egg my house and I used real eggs. He made fun of me on AIM and I beat him up with all my friends. He told your mama jokes and I took his mom out to a nice seafood dinner and never called her again. DO WORK is something you will heard dylan say ALL THE TIME. Oh and now you will hear me saying it too one of his habits that wore off on me. Now of course there is C.C. yeah I nick named her. She was apparently in my math class along with Chelsey, David, and Dylan first semester but I did not know her than. Now C.C. will be the first one to call me out for saying something "inappropriate" but it is nice to know someone is keeping me in line. 

Now Chelsey and David were jus

t mentioned as being in my math class. Chelsey is also from the 919 representing a "rival"

 school to mine but hers is most likely a lot better than the place I graduated from. I picked up a habit from Caleb of asking her out a lot. A joke that has been taken very far sometimes and at this point becoming very old and with a little self control will hopefully die out so we can all laugh about it later on. Now David was someone I did not meet right away but was one of many people in the group along with Caleb and Ed who encouraged me to watch EVERY EPISODE OF LOST in two weeks.... I did it so now I can watch it with them every wednesday. David has also encouraged me to take up biking as a hobby so I have collected the gear to do so and hope to begin soon. Oh and be ready to see me a good bit this summer when I drive down for surf weekends and need a place to crash! Can I stay with you? PLEASE!?!?! THANK YOU. Daniel or should I say Mr. President is a fellow hard core republican. We represent the right side and together will one day run this nation (for four to eight years).

Now how can I forget the LOUD ONE. Ms. Lohan. She is always there to remind me at lunch that I should really be in class and not eating with them but quick to forgive me and accept my company at lunch. Be careful around her at dinner she will spill Milk on your shoes (yes there is still a milk stain on them). Virginia is the roommate of CC. Now I have not spent too much time with her or talked to her alone so I don't know her all too well but I know she is a UNC fan and a pretty chill girl.

 

Mike Santry. What can I say about this kid. We ran cross

 country and track together in high school. I have been friends with his girl friend Brittney Moore for a good while too. Mike runs Cross Country for UNCW and talks about how awesome it is and I might try to get in shape to try out I am not sure yet we will see where this summer takes me. Mike is one of the few high school friends I see as a good college friend (now I am not saying I am casting off my high school friends I just mean when I am at school I have a different group of friends than back home). I do have to give credit for Brit for being so accepting of mine and Mikes bond. No HOMO!

Of course I already have a few "college" friends who are not in college yet. Thomas O'Conner became a good friend of mine I guess near the end of Cross Country season my senior year of high school. He Has recently decided to come to UNCW next year and I am generally pumped. I know a lot of people say they don't hang with their high school friends from other grades but already having Thomas to come visit twice this year I can definitely see me and him hanging a good bit next year. He will be my lifting partner next year so I have a LOT of work to do in the gym this summer. Oh and we will definitely get NICE together a whole lot.

Finally there is Michelle! Now Michelle is not a person but she is the most expensive thing I have ever bought in my life. Michelle replaced Jack (or jack off, the dick eater aka my old white volvo). Of course buying the first car I plan on keeping for a while it is very special for me seeing as it is entirely mine I was not one of those lucky kids who got a free hand out car from my parents. Of course my parents gift was co-signing the loan and helping me out with insurance and payments for the first month but now it is all on me. Now if you wonder why the car is named Michelle or if you are even still reading here is why. I figured the car is the first car I have really bought and the first one that means anything to me the one I want to hang on to. So why not name it after the girl who meant all those same things to me for the first time when dating. Creepy? I have no idea but I think of it as kinda a symbolic thing for me. But I am weird.
