So it’s been almost two weeks since I moved into Austin, Texas, where I now live with 33 fraternity brothers in the UT Sigma Alpha Mu house.  So many thoughts ran through my head the week before I moved in.  Would I have privacy? Would people always be partying? What would it be like living with over 30 of my closest friends? Although hesitant, and nervous, I went in with an extremely positive attitude.

After 2 weeks, its safe to say that this year is going to be insane. There is always at least one person in the house who wants to do the same thing as I do. I don’t go ten minutes without being challenged to Madden 2011 or Fifa World Cup. A day hasn’t gone by without a poker tournament or a blackjack game. A night hasn’t gone by without, at the very least, a small get together at the house.  It really is the life.  We do school work during the day, and we relax at night.  As the semester goes on, I am sure there will be bumps in the road. There will be people who get on my nerves, and times when I really want my own privacy. But for a person with my hobbies and personality, this is the life. 2 fantasy drafts in two weeks? Basketball at the house every day? Experiencing the college life with all of my best friends? Sign me up.

    You can sign me up too. Life cant go slow enough right now as we are sophomores in college. We take advantage of how lucky we are to live with our best friends and dont realize how fortunate we really are to be in the situation we are in right now. Going to UT, always being with our best friends, having unlimited fun, living the life. We really should count our blessings more often.
