March Madness!

Apr 1, 2008

I have never really gotten into the buzz of March Madness before coming to college; it was just never really my thing. I mean don't get me wrong, I love to watch NCAA basketball, but I have the worst sports mind on the face of the planet. Some guys can recall …

Life is Good

Feb 22, 2008

Nov 24, 2007

Here I am, sitting on my couch at home, thinking about how in 3 weeks I will be done with my first semester of college. It really seems so unreal. I don't know how I got to where I am right now or where all the time went but alas, here I am. First of all, …

My Arrival Day Experience

Aug 12, 2007

My first day at Cornerstone was so awesome! I walked up to the gym with my parents and I was greeted by my energetic Sherpa. She’s amazing and she eased my worries and fears and made me just have fun. After about an hour orientation I finally got to …
