I get stressed out at times, but I usually find time to relax (work hard, play hard, right?).  College has been absolutely phenomenal!  I&#8217;ve matured a lot.  I&#8217;m surprised when I think back to who I was in High School and compare to who I am today.  Heck, it wasn&#8217;t until this year that I could look in the mirror and honestly say, &#8220;I&#8217;m a man&#8221; (rather than a boy).<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s like a second adolescence.  I&#8217;m sure that you&#8217;ve already started to notice yourself and people your age seeming to &#8216;change&#8217;.  Sometimes physically, but mostly its a mental and emotional change.  You&#8217;ll really notice it when you move away from home.<br \/>\nOtherwise, college is a great experience.  I&#8217;ve met a lot of different people, tried some different jobs, and pushed myself harder then ever before.  Each day provides new challenges and gives a new lesson to learn.  Oh yeah, and I&#8217;m doing well academically (all A&#8217;s last semester).<br \/>\nI&#8217;m a Media Production Major (aka broadcasting).  This semester, I&#8217;m doing internship at the student radio station on campus.  Along with being a DJ (tuesday, noon-2), I&#8217;m the engineer.  That fancy title just means that I keep all of the equipment running.<\/p>\n<div class='lj-moods-meta'><b>Current Mood:<\/b> \ud83d\ude42thankful<br\/><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love staying busy.
