My Time Strategies

Time never stops, so manage it!
Managing time was never my strong suit coming into college, but I have gotten better over the years. Out of the articles I read, my favorite was the one about the myth of "too busy." Being "too busy" to do things was something I used to always tell myself until I worked my internship. In the work world, you weren't really allowed to be "too busy," so the article really resonated with me when it talked about cutting out the unnecessary time wasters out of your life. While working multiple projects, it quickly became clear that time management was a must. I was able to apply those skills to my classes last semester as I was taking both in-person and online classes. Finding the right balance was hard at first, but I ended up setting dedicated times for online classes as if I was taking them in-person. I'm hoping that can apply this semester as well since I'm once again split 50/50 with in-person and online classes.

Introduction to Me

Myself and Callie hiking in Arkansas Hey everyone! It's the final stretch (for me at least). This is my last semester before graduating here at OU, and I think it's awesome we get to write and read these blogs to get to know each other.

Ever since I was a kid collecting Hot Wheels, I've never stopped being a car guy. Now that I'm getting the opportunities to do so, I've graduated from Hot Wheels to real cars! I've currently got two: my 2015 Mustang is my daily driver, and I'm working on restoring a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo (both pictured below). The Porsche is a huge undertaking for me as it's my learning platform for mechanical skills. While I've done work on cars here and there, I've never taken on a full project like this. My 2015 Mustang

Week 13 Story: The Vampire's Invitation

Once upon a time, a man and his son were travelling across the United States. Stopping when needed at hotels, they slowly made their way stat by state. When they reached Oklahoma, they hadn't taken into account graduation season! All the hotels were booked and they were beginning to lose hope. One of the hotel managers mentioned that he knew where they could stay, but that there are rumors that it's haunted. Having no fear of ghosts, the two decide it would be fine to spend the night there. Shortly after settling in, they here a knock on the door. A strange man in a long, black cape stood outside. He said he too was a weary traveler and this is the only place he could find to stay. This man and his son did not want visitors, so they told him to go away. The man, starting to look desperate said if he could just step in for a minute he would be alright. The man at the door asks why he's so persistent to get an invitation into the house, and that's when he remembered tho
