Excuses
The old adage goes: "Excuses are like butts, everyone has one."
I seem to have been making up a lot of excuses lately: my grades are low b/c I've been busy, I've been busy b/c I can't say "No," I can't say "No" b/c people need me... I spend more time making up excuses than I do making up the work I've been missing or working on my grades! Now, I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably not going to blog everyday like I said I was gonna try to do, but that's b/c I never just spend the 5 minutes that I say I'm gonna spend on blogging. It turns into a half-hour affair! I just don't have that kind of time right now! On Sunday, I became an official pledge in the Alpha Phi Omega, co-ed, service fraternity. I'm pretty sure that it's the only fraternity on campus that first-semester freshmen can pledge, and you can be in any of the other fraternities as a member as well, which is good, because they're all a great opportunity to meet new people and try new things. Service is my life. My mother's always taught me to "Pay it Forward," that I should pass on all of the blessings in my life to others so that they can pass them on, perpetuating this endless chain of charity and brotherly love. Needless, to say, I felt that a Service Fraternity was the perfect place for such and endeavor. Well, I'm going to keep this one brief, b/c I'd like to catch up on some Z's. Good night, and God bless!
