Howard put up a survey that he thought all of the bloggers (that sounds dirty) should answer, so I will Howie....because I love you!
1) Why did you choose your major?
I'm a biology major with hopes of going to Dental School to become an Orthodontist that will own my own private practice. I chose biology because I wanted to be in a profession that would be able to change lives and make a huge contribution to society. As cliche' as it my sound, the best way that I feel how I would make a difference in lives, would to give everyone a better smile!
2) What are your plans post-graduation?
Post-graduation plans are still up in the air. I'm looking at Dental Schools, and the top one on my list at the moment is the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. A colleague of mine, Brad Buckingham, recommended the school, and he likes it there.
3) What’s the last non-textbook you read?
I haven't had time to read any books for leisure. I would have to say that the last book that I read just out of enjoyment would be "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." I thought it was a pretty good way to end the book.
4) What’s the last movie you watched?
This weekend, I hung out with my friends Pavan, Priyanka, Craig "Boo" Rebou, and Travis McCurdy, and we thought it was a good idea to watch the movie "Baby Mama" at 1am. It was worth every minute of it. I'm a huge fan of Amy Poehler's comedy, and I thought she was hilarious! The movie was funny from start to finish! It was well written by Tina Fey, who is a genius as well.
5) What’s the last thing you watched on TV?
The last thing I saw on TV was "Smallville" of course. No explanation necessary! I definitely can't wait until the next episode where we'll find out if Lois has feelings for Clark!
6) What’s your favorite thing about being at UIS?
My favorite thing about UIS is the community. I love the people here, everyone is pretty friendly. Because of the people that I've met here, I feel that I've made some friendships at this campus that will truly be long lasting and worth while that I could not achieve at any other university.
7) What’s at the top of your iTunes playlist right now?
Aside from Rihanna, I've been listening to Paramore, M.I.A., Kutless, Kanye West, and Taking Back Sunday. However, you really can't top Rihana's "Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded" CD. It's pretty much the best things since sliced bread!
8) What’s one guilty pleasure you have?
A guilty pleasure that I have......I like to freeze my pop tarts (get your minds out of the gutter)! Especially the ones that taste like S'mores!
9) Where’s the best place you’ve ever traveled & why?
The best place that I've traveled was to Europe. I went there with some great friends of mine and one of them attends UIS as well, Courtney Baxter. I'm pretty sure everytime I talk to her, we always bring up some random memories from that trip! It was soooo much fun! We're definitely going back, some day!
10) Create your own question.
Q: Do you spit hot fire?
A: Don't worry if I write rhymes, I write checks!
So, I've been given the chance to chronicle my life for my Junior Year in college, and so far....WOW! It's really hard to believe that I've been in college for 2 (going on 3) years already. As cliche' as it sounds....time really does fly. Just to recap of what's been happening for the past two years I've been here:
1) Became the "Face of UIS"
2) Excelled in the Capital Honors program!
3) Met some of my best (and closest friends who has become apart of my family)!
4) Worked/Networked within the Office of Admissions and Registration!
5) Become a Resident Assistant
6) Fresh 2 Def It's been extremely crazy in my life so far.
For one, I'm a Biology major (mucho estudio es muy mal) with hopes of using my biology degree to go to Dental School and become an Orthodontist. Ever since I got my braces off, it changed my life: so I figured if my Orthodontist could change my life by fixing my smile, I want to do the same to the lives of other people. Some highlights of the year so far:
1) This is my first year as an Resident Assistant, and I love this job (not the stress though). The Housing Department stuck my up on the 3rd Floor (3 East) and I've been blessed with the greatest wing, especially for my first year on the job. Everyone on the floor is so random and so friendly, they really make my job easy. However, it can be very distracting when I try to go to my room to study....and then I hear someone playing Rock Band, I'll seriously waste an hour of studying playing that game (still no problem there).
2) Though I haven't done it too often, I've gotten the chance to hang out with all my friends again. No one's changed (joke wise). Everyone will occasionally drop the "That's What She Said" or "Your Mom" joke, it seriously never gets old. However, a couple of things have changed, a couple of friends of mine are getting married this upcoming summer, and have just gotten engaged. My friends Jeremy Wilburn and Jordan Haley have recently gotten engaged, and they're getting married this summer.
Dustin Rickman, an RA on the West Campus Housing proposed to his girlfriend.
David Meaker, an RA on East Campus Housing, and Katie Wood are getting married this summer too. So yeah, stuff's getting real this summer. 
3. "Smallville," my favorite television show in the world, is in it's 8th Season and things are off to a great start. The season finale was about how the Green Arrow calls upon fellow heroes Black Canary, and Aquaman, to locate the missing Clark Kent, last seen in the Arctic in a confrontation between arch rival Lex Luthor. Meanwhile, a new CEO, Tess Mercer, is appointed the head of LuthorCorp, and Chloe is kidnapped by a secret group who have discovered her special power.
Final Prediction for this year: It's going to be insane! I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I will enjoy making them! Later Days!
Yo Yo Yo, this is a test post!
