Big Things Coming from this Corner

Hello Tuesday,

Mr Suffolk Pageant went awesome last Wednesday night, Jonathan Lang from Wicked! took home the coveted crown and was dubbed the first ever,Mr. Suffolk. Jeffrey Morris, aka, Mr. SunNorml, was the runner up . The event was amazing all the guys did awesome and I enjoyed all the guys talents, cheers and it was especially fun to share the opening dance number with the five other guys. I met a lot of cool guys and hopefully built the foundation for a couple friendships, it was all worth it. Thanks to anyone who came out.

Also, this week is huge for me academically and work wise, simply put, I am putting the petal to the metal before summer break.

This summer I also just found out I will be interning in the marketing and advertising department for the Improper Bostonian, i cant wait !


Take care of the mind, the rest will follow.Be well.

As Always, Take Care.

Welcome to the Big Show.

Hello Monday,

Well,yesterday was Undergraduate Admissions second Student Showcase of the year and it was a giant success! A lot of people came on out on a beautiful Boston day to tour our exciting campus and help gain insight as they continue there collegiate search. I heard all the speakers did an excellent job and that their sessions were engaging and informative. I wish I had a chance to hear my dad speak at a parents session as he relayed his student perspective from the eyes of a proud alumni.

This week is a busy,yet fun one. Tonight I have rehearsal for the talent I am performing at the upcoming First Annual Mr. Suffolk Pageant. I am really anxious and nervous to get the talent worked out, since Ive had to switch recently due to my knee injury. But, I am not down, just excited that I could call on a friend to help me take a different approach that will revisit an old interest of mine and hopefully I'm not too rusty for the show Wednesday night.

Tomorrow night I will be attending the Student Government Association Leadership Awards Show at the Copley Marriot. I cannot wait for all the more than deserving winners to presented. I just want to also congratulate all the nominees, you did an exceptional job and there is no doubt in my mind that Student Activities would be no where near as successful and productive as it is now, if not for the hard work of a dedicated, energetic group of student leaders. Also, Suffolk Smile Train is nominated for Best Student Organization,what an honor to be recognized along with the other fine standing student organizations.

Wednesday night at 7pm in the Donahue Cafe is the Inagural Mr. Suffolk Pageant. Six male contestants will perform a group dance number, individual talent, spirit wear and evening wear and vie to become the first ever Mr. Suffolk. Please, come on out and attend what is sure to be an entertaining compilation of talent and laughter.Hope to see you all there in attendance!

This Friday I will be attending the LEAP conference for Suffolk Student Leaders at the Cape Codder Resort to begin planning for next years programs! It is sure to be a fun time.


on a side note, the graduate school search is still in its beginning stages, but I am starting to plan a trip to NYC in may to look at various schools with some friends. It is a scary, yet exciting time, one that I am eager to see how it unfolds.

Alright, now that I have taken up far too much of your time I will leave you all with this farewell...

Keep in Touch.

When Did It Become April 6th ?

Hello Tuesday,

Well it has been some time since,my last post,sorry about that,school has been a bit hectic and doesn't look like it will be slowing down its pace till we reach the finish line known as summer break.

Rumor has it that spring is officially joining us this year,that would be awesome so I could run outside like a mad man.I have been getting over my knee sprain, so cabin fever has me itching to get outside and hangout with mother nature.

In school, the usual is amongst the students, as expected at this point of the year, all the tests,projects,papers and last minute scrambles before exams week pops up and annoys us all. But not to worry because even though students often times get stressed out, myself included, I have a new philosophy on this high stress time period. So many of us are usually looking for an outside source that is causing our problems and hindering out social, academic performances and yes I know that this all comes with the college territory but I want us all to remember that we can be the cure to the sickness. We can change the way we wish to approach the tough situations ahead of us and tailor the outcomes in our favor, changing the way the situation will affect us,for the better. There is always a silver lining, a positive way to look at a situation. When one door closes, another opens.Surround yourself with good company, it will make the journey a lot less stressful if you travel with good vibrations.( Que the Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch music,please)

Let me leave you with this,Instead of feeling down,feel hopeful about new directions that life has in store for you.Look at things positively,trust the process of your beautiful and fufilling life.

As Always,Take Care.
