Thank you!

Those two words don’t even skim the surface when it comes to trying to express the gratitude that I have towards the Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) and stars of the hit paranormal investigation show “Ghost Asylum”. Another major “thank you” goes out to all of the fans for all of your support on my last article, Why I Love The Tennessee Wraith Chasers.

To everyone that liked, shared, commented, retweeted, etc. on my article–I am so grateful to all of you! I loved reading all of your comments and seeing so many of the fans that love TWC like I do. That’s actually one of the things that I want to focus on in this article–the fans. You hear about so many famous people that are so full of themselves. They become famous through some type of industry, make money off of their fame, forget where they came from and forget about their fans. That’s not the case with TWC, though. I can assure you of that.

For those that don’t know, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet TWC! Prior to meeting them, I was nervous like any fan would be. Most of all, though, I was ecstatic to have this opportunity. Ever since I watched the show for the first time, I knew that I wanted to meet the guys. They were kind, down to Earth, hilarious and, most importantly, they were good Christian men. What's not to love, right? Well, all of the nerves that were bottled up inside of me went away after the first few minutes with the guys. They didn’t come in with bad attitudes nor did they act like they were better than me. Instead, they were extremely friendly when we met and throughout the rest of the time that we spent together.

I thought to myself about how kind it was of the guys to visit with me. This act of kindness showed me just how much they really care about all of us. During the visit, the guys mentioned multiple times how much they love their fans. They hear us, y’all–they see all of the love and praise that the fans send to them on their various social media pages and they truly appreciate it.

Looking back, I can honestly say that I’ve never met a more genuine group of men. What you see on television and on social media is what you get with TWC. They believe in their work and they’re constantly working to further their research. The determination and work ethic that they have is inspiring. They’re also a great example of what a group of friends should be. They’re supportive, caring and they thoroughly enjoy each other’s company.

We can all learn some very important lessons from the Tennessee Wraith Chasers:

1. It is important to continue studying so that we can become more knowledgeable in our fields.

2. It’s important to be kind to everyone.

3. To be kind to one another doesn’t cost a dime.

4. It’s important to be yourself.

5. No matter how successful you are, stay humble.

6. Remember where you came from and the people that helped you get where you are today.

7. If you want something, work for it.

8. Stay true to yourself.

9. Faith is the most important thing to hold on to.

10. To grow in our faith and share it with others is a beautiful thing.

When you see these men interact with the people around them and each other, you know that they’re just like us. Sure, they’re extremely amazing, they have one of the best shows on TV, and they’re extremely successful, but that doesn’t make them any different from us. They know that and now I know that.

To spend time with this incredible group of men was such a blessing. As I mentioned in my previous article about TWC, they truly care about each other. Watching them interact together, you could just see how close they all are. Not only are they dedicated to their work, but they’re dedicated to each other. What they do on the show isn’t just an act. They talk the talk and walk the walk. The Tennessee Wraith Chasers lead by example, and I learned so much from them. It was definitely a meeting that I’ll never forget and one that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.

Thank you for your time, Mr. Mike, Mr. Porter and Mr. Chris. Y’all are such incredible role models for people to look up to, and I will forever be a fan not only of “Ghost Asylum” and TWC, but a fan of each of you as well!

Much love to each and every one of you!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.
