Adding “no pun intended” to situations with no puns

A Year ago today….

My application to UM was complete. Not gonna lie, if back then you asked me if I was going to UM I would’ve said “I doubt UM is dumb enough to accept me”. SAT and a bunch of APs later, here I stand.

Not gonna lie, I do feel guilty. I’ve had a bunch of people from my high school tell me that I’m lucky for being here. And if you look at the amount of “work” I actually did, they are probably right. There are people that worked a lot harder than I did to get here, and the only thing that separated us is that I did the standardized test better than average. they deserve to be here too.

I’m upset with a couple of people from my high school that are at UM. There are two reasons why I’m so involved in campus:

1) Because I’m literally living out the dream. I’m getting used to things I used to wish for. What scares me is that this ride only last 4 years, I’m overworked and for the first time in my life I’m stressed….but I’m scared that I miss out on any opportunity.

2) People will do anything to get here. So I can’t stand seeing some people from my high school that aren’t taking advantage of everything here when I have my boys(and girls) that want to be here more than anything in the world.

It’s funny how things change. 9-11 grade, I didn’t want to go to college. I really didn’t. Two teachers that influenced me greatly are my physics teacher (Markland), and my english teacher (Guerra). They were probably the first to peak my interest in school. And with teachers like Motley, and Vivian that let me get away with murder in their class, I started seeing how much I could actually accomplish.

As much as I’ve hyped UM….it’s even better than I expected. I knew I’d like the school, the faculty, and the campus. I didn’t expect to love the people. They are the reason why I’m now excited to wake up in the morning. I’m trying to think of what else to say, but unless you attend here, its something []_[] wouldn’t understand.

It’s great to be a Miami Hurricane
