Shine On

You can change this world,
If you want to, girl."

When people believe in us. We rise to the top.
We fulfill their expections.
Ever person has seeds of greatness in them. Inspire. Motivate.

A kind word. A smile. One compliment can change your perspective. Bless people with your words. Invest in others and see the difference. Dont withhold your blessings, be free with your compliments and don't hesitate to tell people in your life how much you appreciate them.

Your presence is a gift to my life.

Are you verballizing what you appreciate that God gave to you and the people he put in your life?

Focus on not what you are, but what you can become. Realize that when you bring out the best in others, you bring out the best in yourself. REACH THAT LEVEL.

Only make moves if your hearts in it So its hot and sweaty. And I'm feeling quite unproductive at this moment, watching Friends, thinking. And thinking some more. Which is quite harmful if done excessively.

People have asked me plenty of times, "What's your favorite experience this year?" And to narrow down the habits of a hustler is just quite difficult. So to document the epic-ness I call Freshman Year here's a list of highlights I've experienced this year:


Starting from most significant to least. Just kidding.

Lastly, I want to thank my sexy and funny chem tutor. And also to the people at commons for not paying attention that one Saturday which allowed 201 to enjoy a whole bucket of chocolate ice cream.

I would say that I love you but unfortunately, pimps don't fall in love. But seriously, to say that this year has been an amazing would be an understatement.

To 201 Legends, the world doesn't know about us yet. But they will.

STAY UP.

Freshman Year was DA BIZ-NESS

To say that my freshman year at college has been amazing would be an understatement. I remember going to SPOP 3 in August and just those days at orientation made me realized how much I would love Irvine.

I mean when you get a bunch of kids and make them sing "Wu-tang clan ain't nothing to fcuk wit." A bond is just bond to happen.

Flash foward to September, Welcome Week I felt like the most popular ever. What with my summer validating 360 facebook friends, I had someone to hang out with everyday. People would be like "Keyshiaaaa!" And I'd be like "Oh. That's me" Hahaha..

I met some girls from my suite 201 and we planned on eating together at Pippins. A Journey to Hobbitland. It was just to discuss topics, pet peeves. And just to get each other know a bit. I remember being a bit scared, because I didn't know these girls that much. And you can feel that awkward silence in the air where no one know what to say.

"So does anyone have any pet peeeves or anything?" Silence.
"Does anyone have a problem with nudity?" says this one girl.
And everyone just laughs hysterically. I think that line was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Thank you, Aida Solomon. Haha

I'm not sure if that was right afterwards, but then we got balloons from orientation. One of the girl's just happened to have a pocket knife. Little I know that that crazy person was Britney. The craziest person I probabley met this year.

201 Legends is an effortless friendship. That's just how it is.
