Post 3: Plot of my life....how much time do you have?!

After reading "A Sorrowful Woman", I think that this is the only story I can find any comparison to with my life... actually being what that story is about that probably sounds terrible. Let me try to justify that as much as I can before you all think I am too crazy.  In the short story, the woman feels trapped after being a wife and a mother, me being neither (yet) I can only hypothetically relate to this is the way that I am terrified to have children. Probably for other reasons than why she hated being a mother and a wife, but I feel like having children is going to hold me back from so much, if I devote time to school and bettering myself, just to turn around and pop out some babies, when do I get to enjoy all of my hard work? Having children I have heard is a wonderful thing, and I am sure to some people that is all they have wanted in life, to marry and reproduce these small humans to love and call their own... but to me that is scary. You have to shape them their entir...

Post 2: Good Will Hunting

Good Will Hunting is a movie that I have just recently watched for the first time, being that I am a Psychology major I was told it would be a good movie to watch that is a classic. The movie was focused on a guy who worked at a school as a janitor, as he walked the halls and cleaned he noticed there was an equation that needed to be solved and he simply put the answer up when no one was around, and left it. This got the attention of the professor who put it up there for a challenge to solve. The professor added a new equation that he thought would be harder and ended up catching him in the act. If you have not seen this movie, I highly recommend checking it out. I don't want to spoil it too much, but the literal meaning of the movie was to show the struggle that Will went through, as a working man, a foster child that had a tough life and nothing handed to him. Surprising everyone when they realized that he was the one solving the equation, no one believed that he was smart enough...

Post 1: A Small Glimpse

Hey there everyone, My name is Brandi, born and raised in Maryland for my whole life. Maryland is the home of the Baltimore Ravens, for any of you NFL fans out there, I myself am one, I even participate in a few fantasy football leagues (and by participate I mean win, but let's be humble here...haha). College football seems to be huge down here more than NFL, but I guess I can't blame you all when your team is the Falcons (yes they made it to the super bowl last year, but that was the first time since...1999?). I moved down here a year ago on August 12th, 2016, Macon is different, hell let's be completely honest here, the south is completely different. I am used to getting snow in the winter and shoveling my way out to get anywhere, up north snow is not a reason to close anything--unless it's a blizzard. Everyone always asks me how I like it down here, and I do...but it is HOT. Hot is a description that can pretty much be used all the time here. There hasn't been ...
