Really, I am. I almost can’t forgive myself, but I must for the sake of our blogging connection. FIVE DAYS? I’m ashamed of myself. I will make it up to my readers with an entry of epic proportions. One that breaks the mold for what a blog post should be. Are you ready? Let’s go.
First, big…meeting…today. This is it ladies and gentleman: the day. I don’t want to hype this up too much, but I’m going to. This is ground breaking and life altering. This will determine whether my pride and joy program will be implemented at NC State. This is my…okay you get it. Here’s the deal. I present one of my ideas today. A big idea. This idea will save you money, while rewarding you. It’s going to change the game for the Bookstore and propel them into the future, and we’re bringing you along with it. Prizes, money, awesomeness. Those are my three talking points, minus the awesomeness. The awesomeness is implied. I’ll release a few more thoughts that are related to my idea: iPads, Fire Pits, Corn Hole boards, more free. I’m treading on thin ice here, so I’ll leave it at that. But I promise you this, when I break this news, we’re going to go wild promoting it. I will at that point need your help, so keep it locked.
Next: Beyonce. I must say I was impressed yesterday. That feeling of American pride, glory, eternity, it was all there when she sang the Anthem in front of our President. Politics aside, it feels good to be an American. I could go on a tangent about how while we have our issues, and we’re divided on topics, we still live in the best nation on Earth, but I’m not going to. I will simply say that we are blessed with opportunities, and while we may not all agree on everything, hopefully we can agree that we love NC State, and NC State is in the United States. Therefore, by transitive property, we love the United States! Or at least I think it’s the transitive property, we’ve had some debate in the office on this so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
I talked about identity, the gym, summer coming up, cutting, beastmode in some other posts. That lifestyle continues…dedication is the word of the day. What does it mean to be dedicated? I think there is a misconception between dedication and stupidity. Yes, they mean completely different things, but the point is, don’t be stupid in your pursuit of dedication. Don’t give up things you shouldn’t while thinking it’s what’s best for you. It isn’t. What is best for you is pursuing your goal every second of every day and having no regrets in the process. Think of the end result when you are faced with tough decisions, and be smart about it. The best advice I can give my readers is this: the right decision might not please everyone, but you need to be able to look yourself in the mirror and know you made the right call.
