I was afraid of the dark when I was a kid, but you guys kept me safe.

Thank you The River.

Think back to 2003, it is 10 pm and you turn on 1075 the river. You hear Butter just talking away about his game called What's Down Butter's britches......... yes, he was my favorite and always will be..... But then fast forward to 2020 and your new favorite is some silly, funny guy named Zac. Radio has changed over the years but a few things will always remain the same....

1. The people behind the mics are real people, with real families and real feelings..... They may work 4-11 or 3-7 but after those hours; sometimes they are dads, moms or even paw fathers.... They have real feelings, and real lives behind those mics, and I am so thankful for that and who they truly are as humans. I use to go to high school with Savannah, and I will always remember her as the sweet soul that I always wanted to be best friends with, but my shy turtle shell lead me down a path of learning the hard way that I had to speak up, but she was always so kind. I Have learned so much from not just Savannah or Zac, but from the Nashville Kings of Comedy..... We can all learn a little something from each and every one who works at 1075, and for that I am forever grateful....

2. They all come from different walks of life, but end up in the same room as one family. It is a beautiful thing, and we should all experience sometime. Coming from different walks of life, and coming together as one gives me chills....... I feel like the world could use a little lesson from radio personalities.... They all come together with different opinions for the morning, but they know how to handle things in a mature adult way, and still somehow have fun...... The world needs more fo that, so I thank you 1075 for that lesson in being a decent human, and knowing that kindness goes a long way for the little acts you do.

3. Even if we do not agree with some of the things they say, we agree that in the moment we turn on that radio we are a way happier person than we were without the radio, so we can thank them for having the job that makes us happy. When they play your favorite jam, and you are stuck in traffic what is better than listening to the radio? Nothing, they make your stop and go traffic ways so mich better. So thank them more often, cause they love what they do yes but it feels nice to be loved.

4. We can all agree that what we think is easy work is not. Being a radio personality might seem easy, but I promise you there is more work than we all think. It may be the dream job, but every dream job has its work cut out for it. I hope everyone realizes what work they put into making us happy when they are the on the air for those couple hours. Cause I applaud them, big time.

1075 has always been my favorite radio station, and will forever hold special memories. I remember when I went to the lobby of the station a long time ago, and kept thinking I feel so cool. Now that Zac and I are best friends due to our share love of being adventourous and he is just the best..... do not worry, he is the best..... I always wanted to write a post saying my thanks to 1075 for putting a smile on my face since the age of 6...... Here is a little secret, I use to fall asleep to 1075 because I felt like it kept me safe...... So here is to 1075 for the countless memories, and for keeping me safe for so long.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
