Round two.... (LOL)

I hoping this semester goes a lot smoother than last... I feel as if i got the flow and the rythm of college a little bit better now. I don't hang out as much, i'm definitely in my books a lot more!! You kinda just come to the conclusion of what your really here for. Yes it's all fine in dandy to hang out and party, and just have fun, but at the end of the day when everyone go thier separate ways you have to ask yourself, "Do i honestly have my priorities in order"...???
If you answer yes, your outcome should show it in your academics, your apperance,etc. Last semester I can honestly say that I didn't have my priorities together. My grades weren't bad but i didnt work my full potential, I always felt drained and tired!!
Now that's a different story... I wake up every morning around 8 o'clock, and I plan my day out to where all my errands are complete, and I feel a sense of satisfaction! In my schedule I make time to eat, to do something beneficial towards at least one of my organizations, go to work, and make at least 3 people smile and at least 2 people laugh. So i leave my room about 9:30 and probably won't see it again to around 8 or 9p.m! But at the end of the day all my goals are accomplished and I'm happy!!!

Finals and FINAL!!!

End of the 1st semester

As I stated in my older post you will grow physical, mentally, intellectually, emotionaly, as a person, before you graduate.

OMG... the last days of this semester are coming to an end, and to be honest i'm kinda sad. It happened so fast , it feels like yesterday when i was moving my stuff in. What have I learned from my first semester here at NCCU?

I learn that you should be focused on what you came here for and not get caught up in "enjoying the life". You have to remember you came to college by yourself, you shouldn't let your friends influence you to go to the club when you know you've got homework due and an 8 o'clock the next day. You shouldn't let your friends dictate your decisions about the guys on campus! Your friends name is not going to be on that diploma. You didn't use your friend's GPA, or SAT SCORE to apply to school, you did! You have to focus on YOUR academics YOUR involvement on campus, YOURSELF!

I also learned that there are alot of organizations that you can get involved in. I can say my day is pretty busy but yet productive. I plan to keep it that way the more busy your day is, less time you will waste.

Well it's finally coming to an end of my first semster as a freshman. I have finals coming up and the semester is coming to a FINAL end....

Coronation 2009-2010

2009-2010 Ms. Baynes Hall

Oct 10/25/09 I was crowned Ms. Baynes Hall at Centennial Coronation that was held in the auditorium on campus. Cornation was a formal showcase of each Mr. and Ms. on campus. What is a Mr.& Miss? They're the male and female representation of an organization on campus.

Coronation was very beautiful, and it's something that I will never forget. I very greatful to have my positon because a lot of students don't get to experience what i did. It also made me have more pride in my school.

The Mr. to my Ms!

Korey Mercer is Mr. Baynes of 2009-2010

~ he made this experience for me go that much smoother, I wouldnt want anyone else to have his positon. I am honored to have him as my Mr. Baynes!

Accomplished!!!

See, I havent blogged in a while because I've been dealing with a lot of homecoming events, studying, and MID-TERMS. That just shows that i'm not managing my time wisely(lol). Now I have a PLANNER , so I should be good now! So i've, been here for 2 months now, and ive kinda got the hang of the flow of college, It's not bad at all it.

So last weekend was fall break and I got a chance to go home and spend time with the family, and friends, but i have to say that best thing that I did was going back to visit my high school. It made me proud to hear the teachers talk good about me since i'm in college. By me being at school it's not only for me it's for my family, it's for my friends-- they need that somebody to go out and make a difference, someone to go out there and be better. That's another thing that makes me want to do well while i'm here because there are so many people at home that are counting on me, Im not going to let them down.
So no matter what goes on, ima still push forward and accomplish my goal!!

Before College
360 degeree
Now(Freshman)

Okay check this out...\

Well in college im going through a physical and intelletual transformation..like im learning more about myself then i ever thought i would. I dealing with problems that i wouldnt face at home, im learning about problems that i have and facing them like a women...oh yes its hard. But its life and priceless experience that i wouldnt trade for the world.!!!

im the first person to attend college in my family. So i didnt have anyone there to direct or guide me on my experience. I feel as if i tackling this college life head on by myself. It gets kinda stressful at times but you have to seek help from the faculty, staff, and RA's.

Also in college you have to find who you are as a individual, you cant let your friends or anyone else determine who you are. I can tell you that i havent found who i am yet, or my purpose in life, but college is that changing process. Changing process that will evolove you into an adult.

Slap in the FACE!! but hey its worth it

2009-09-15T13:02:00.000-07:00

Ugh... okay this MiSs. Baynes thing is way more than I bargained for!!! Okay check this out... for the dorm where i live(baynes hall) they establish a house council. House council is made up of a president, vice- president, secretary, treasure, Mr. baynes, and Miss. baynes. The council is pretty much there to help out with problems, coming up with ideas, helping other residents with there problems. We have only been established for 4 days and have already had about 20 meetings. The meetings are at crazy time like at 12a.m.. yeah some night...lol. But it gets a little overwhelming by getting through my class, fitting in lunch, studying, and a meeting, before my dance practice at 7. pphheeewww umm does anyone have some time I can buy from them?....(lol )

But at the end of the day it is worth it. Helping out that resident who felt insecure, or that male on the 2nd floor who is thats having girl problems...(lol) ...Going to my dance practice with everyone there having the love of dance in there hearts or just by going with my roommate to the cafe. or even in the library reading my health book for a test tomorrow...all of that commotion feels like a slap in the face... but in the end its worth the pain...

Reality!!!

2009-09-11T11:54:00.000-07:00

Today im really excited.... i won Ms. Baynes. What Ms. Baynes is, its pretty much a female representation of my residental hall. So YYYaaaayyy im HAPPY.... !! (lol)

ADAPTING to the college LIFE!!

2009-09-08T13:28:00.000-07:00

Okay now its time for TRUE LIFE moment..."adjusting to college" the first week is all gravy their isnt any classes... i was smooth sailing... BUT as soon as classes start it seemed like i was STUCK... like an anchor dropped in my lap.... i have classes, test, homework, a SOCIAL LIFE, drama, extra curricular activities...aaaaaahhhhhh!!!! somebody help me!!!! but there is a solution to everything the answer is TIME MANAGEMENT. It's basically a method that you have to manage your wants from your NEEDS, in a timely fashion.

Another situation you will have to adapt to as a freshman will be DRAMA... yes!! I said it DRAMA... it graduates with you... from high school drama now to college drama. The way you get away from it is not being a part of it...for instance READ A BOOK instead of talking about someone...JOIN A CLUB instead of confronting that girl who was talking about you.. Dont diminsh your standards for DRAMA... be better than the rest.

Its good to be close to your roommate...lol

Freshman Status

2009-09-01T13:30:00.000-07:00

3 WEEKS..... oh yes living up my freshman status to the fullest... wait, wait, wait..slow your roll.. living it to the fullest being... going to class (ON TIME)..completing a ridiculous amount of homework... pretty much just balancing out my social life to my study life. This week so far has been a bit crazy for me...Since i made to through tryouts for a dance team on campus known as HOUSE ARREST 2.. i've been sort of pushing for time to spare. OH OH... you want to know my scheldule ... sure.. i have 9,and 10 oclock class on monday. 10-12:30 library and cafe. oh yes i got to hurry and eat for my 1 oclock class. After class im probably gonna take a nap from 2-4:30. yep got another class at 5. Then from 6:30 to 11, dance practice. 11-12:30, study/homework. Then BEDTIME. Thats just on monday and wednesday, tuesday thurdays and friday are a bit mellow, smooth... its not that bad u just got to balance yourself. Sooo thats pretty much ive been doing as a college freshman for the past week....!!

A new INCOMING!!!

2009-08-25T13:39:00.001-07:00

Aaaaahhhhh!!! lol.... it's still kinda HARD to grab a hold to the fact that im a college freshman. You know it's different from sayin "Oh I'm going to NCCU in the Fall." Dang I'm ready to be a college kid" than from actually being a COLLEGE FRESHMAN.... it has its flaws but the overall experience is PRICELESS!!!

Lets embark on some of the experiences that i will faced...becoming a NCCU freshman....
1.The first experience i encountered was orientation. At orientation you will meet the EAGLE CORE LEADERS who do a phenomenal job as far as showing you around campus, making your feel comfortable to ask any types of questions, and making you proud to become an Eagle. Dont be scared, relax... its an opportunity there to help you. Try to interact with as many people as you can. Learn about the clubs and organizations on campus. Remember this is a opportunity for you!!!

2.MOVE-in DAY.... CRAZiest day of the school year. Heavy Boxes, Heavy Sweating, Heavy Breathing. pphhheeewww!! Indeed it was the Craziest day but then again it was EXCITING for me because i was ready to be on my own and the day was finally here. I was lookin at all my stuff in the back of my step-dads car and all that came to me was "this is going to be a long day". It was a good thing to see that it wont jus me and my step-dad moving boxes .I look up and notice DWAYNE JOHNSON..(SGA PRESIDENT) getting his hands dirty, sweating hard, with a box on his shoulder, following right behind him was the EAGLE CORE LEADERS ..(lol) I thought to myself "now thats what i like to see team work"!! After all my things were settled in the room i look around and realized that this will be my new home...and yes its true No more mom.... no more step-dad..tellin you what to do, your offically and adult now. LOL)...

3. Your on- Your own!!
