Gregory
Campus: ChicagoProgram: Culinary Arts From: Rockford, IL More...
My name is Greg Taylor and I am a culinary arts student at the RMC Chicago downtown campus. I didn’t have an idea of what I was going to go to college for until my junior year of High School while living in Rockford. I was always a fan of cooking but never knew that I would one day become a professional chef in Chicago. In my personal experience life has many ups and downs and what I know for sure is that coming to Robert Morris College is definitely one of the ups that life has taken me through. I soon plan to start my Bachelors degree program in January of 2008 and I believe that coming back for my BA will put me way above the rest of the competition because of my drive to better myself educationally. A person once told me that there are ordinary people and there are extraordinary people and the only thing that separates the two are the extra things the extraordinary people do. So I try every day just to be EXTRAORDINARY!

Should I stay or should I go?
More...
Well folks it all comes down to this....should I stay here in Chicago or should I move back home? Okay, I know your saying, Greg, what does this have to do with me? Right? Okay here it is. if I stay here in Chicago I’ll have to pay rent and plus other utilities and other bills as well but I’ll have my freedom and my mind will be at ease about coming in at two in the morning and virtually I can do what ever I want! But I still have bills to pay. Okay, if I go back home and live with my parents then my freedom goes right out the door. Now I’ll have a curfew again and I’ll have to do chores like clean up after my little sister and clean things that I didn’t mess up, plus I’ll have to drive back and forth to and from Chicago every single morning so as you can see it’s a hard decision to make. You see how one decision like the one I have to make can change your entire way of living or even thinking. Life is full of hard decisions like this one and you can’t make them all for your self. Some time or another you’re going to have to ask for help. I know I know what if you don’t want to ask for help? well that’s another decision you have to make but the best advice I can give anyone is never try to make a decision high or even intoxicated it'll only make the decision worst. Being sober or even at a sound mind will make one part of your decision even easier than what you thought it would be. so go on make that decision in your life that has been holding you back for the longest time, why don’t you ask that girl or guy out on that date, why don’t you take that promotion at your job. Why don’t you go on that long awaited vacation that you've saved your money for since three years ago? Try and live a little....wow I think I just made my decision as to if I should stay or should I go? Check my blog next week to see what I have decided.

Real Friends
More...
The real friends that I have are named Big Bear, Flirt, and Mo. let me tell you about those three. Let’s start with Big Bear; this friend is a person that no matter what you will always get along, they are the real kind of person who’s going to give you real answers to real problems. If you don’t have a friend like Big Bear then you need to get one. Now about my friend Flirt, just so you know all of these names are just nick names, back to my friend Flirt they always flirt when every we all go out its kind of annoying but its true, if you had a friend like my friend flirt I’m sure you would feel the same way. Now for my friend Mo little does this person know they have the same nick name as my family member so I guess I consider this friend a really close friend. I can always go to Mo with my drama or issues even though in know I get on their nerves from time to time they still listen and put on a smile to make me feel better. Why am I writing about my friends? Well it’s because every one needs a friend who you can always be friends with no matter how bad a fight gets or how bad you may feel after an argument. every one needs a friend like flirt because no matter who their flirting with you always have a chance of that person having a brother or sister for yourself if flirt wins the person over with that charm that they have. no one can live with out a friend like Mo. when ever you need a boost of confidence or just a little motivation a friend like is always their for you. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that, where would we be without our friends?

No girl yet...
When am I going to win? When am I going to get that one? When am I going to have my dreams come true? When am I going to get to do what ever I want when I want? When am I going to be able to say I love you? When am I going to get the girl? Are those the questions that run through your head like they do mine? Well no one can really answer your question because you didn’t ask it right. I know that sounds confusing but its true, you have to start asking when am I going to stop asking and just start doing. That’s the number one problem with the way people think, they keep sitting and asking and waiting for something to happen but you have to realize that you have to go and get it for yourself. For example, there’s this girl that I met in one of my classes and she’s really cute and I told her and we eventually started talking on a regular bases. She wouldn’t have known that I liked her unless I said something. that’s my point, you have to start saying something to people you like or are very fond of, wow I think I should just start like an advice column, that was some real Dr. Phil type advice but I don’t even like Dr. Phil so I guess it was real Dr. Greg talk lol.....until next time folks. Stop asking question and start acting on positive emotions. |
