Remember ME

The Art Of Speaking...

It was a beautiful bright and sunny day and it was a Tuesday (The club was going up...). The wind was just right, and the sun was smiling ear to ear. I had just arrived at the Farrison Newton building. I sat down and began to sip on my cold sweet ice tea, nothing could go wrong. A beautiful young lady sat down nearly 7 feet away from me. She had on a Yankees jersey, even though I despise that team I let it slide because of her beauty. I got up and in my meanest Denzel Washington impression I approached her and "spit game." We both talked, laughed, talked...and laughed again! So fellas we all know its not official till we get the digits right?! Well fellas I'm sure you know what went down...I GOT THAT NUMBER!

*In Reality*

It was a normal long day, it was hot as holy hell outside and I came inside Farrison Newton looking like I just ran 5.2 miles. Well I felt like I ran that much cause where I stay at and the walking distance should be illegal, but that is another story. Anyway, I was sitting in the lobby of Farrison Newton and noticed to my right that there was a girl beside me. Perfect Cocoa Brown skin, eyes look like they could melt silver and lips was just...I can't even explain. I had cotton mouth, I reached my water only to realize that I had none. I was frozen, she had me shook! I was literally having an inner battle with myself about going to speak to her. I knew a had an open window before 10:40 break happened. My mind is telling me no! but my body is telling me YESSS! (R. Kelly voice). Long story short, I didn't speak and she left with her friends. But why didn't I speak? It's so easy, I could speak to any female on campus, the moment I have a crush or an infatuation with one, it's like my lips have been removed. Is it because society paints the picture of the ideal gal? Am I afraid of rejection? Is it because of FATE?!?! All I know is one thing and one thing only...I didn't speak. In future notice, will I speak? Maybe, until then guess It will just be another moment in my college career. *Weeps*.....Not really.

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.
