LiveSTRONG

Financial Accounting is nothing that I expected but everything that everyone else said it would be. Basically, everyone was calling accounting as the death of them and I thought, "It couldn't be that bad." Haha, turns out it is. I find myself studying at least 2 hours a day for accounting while other classes I just seem to coast in. Even calculus is not as time consuming as Accounting.

I've been wanting to change my lifestyle, change my habits and develop new, healthier habits. I've certainly been watching what I eat and I've hit the gym more times in the past 3 weeks than I have done all year...seriously. At first I was hesitant because it just seemed like such a time consuming activity that I didn't have time. Now, I've been managing my time around the time I go to the gym and it feels great. During the holiday, I was at 195 and I was in denial that I was putting on the pounds, even though it showed on the scale I thought I looked fine. Then I saw pictures of myself from two or three years ago when I was at 160 and it's a huge difference. I'll be putting updates on where I'm at. I would like to get down to 160 by the end of May. But my overall goal is just to feel good about myself.

Some people might think that I have a low self esteem for not being happy with where I'm at. I think I have adequate self esteem haha. I'm realizing where I'm at and what I want to fix.

Weight at the Start of working out: 195
Current Weight: 187

Random stuff

I've recently made a decision that will change my life for the better. But I'm not going to tell anyone what it is because if I fail then everyone is going to call me out on it. But believe me, I'm trying. If all goes well with my decision, I'll let you know.

I love dancing in public because it embarrasses whoever is with me haha. But I also don't care who sees me dancing or what they think of me because chances are I'm never going to see them again ever in my life. If you can snap/joc/bodyroll/2step/glide etc. to that song, then I will do it.

Alpha Chapter has gotten so big that there is division between classes. I know it's inevitable with every chapter as it grows larger, but I feel very privileged to be going through what the Founding Fathers and early classes went through in turning this Esteemed Fraternity into what it is today. As Alpha Psi Rho continues to grow and thrive, we still haven't found our footing yet at San Marcos. Just as the earlier classes of Alpha Chapter had dreams of making this Fraternity dominant, Gamma Chapter has dreams of making their chapter dominant. You always see fraternities and sororities represent in huge numbers. Some of them so big that they don't even acknowledge each other (I see it all the time with the white greeks). The foundation always has to be the strongest because that's what you build upon. Any structure without a strong foundation might as well be a house of cards. If the weak infrastructure doesn't take you down, the test of time will. Again, I'm privileged to be a part of San Marcos. No regrets.
