I Got Into Berklee College of Music: Here's My Advice on How You Can, Too
In January of 2016, I sat in my bedroom and opened an email announcing my acceptance into Berklee College of Music. I was proud and excited, and a little surprised (us musicians sure are full of self-doubt, aren't we?), but I knew I'd worked hard to get in, and, more than anything, I felt accomplished.

Dear Incoming College Freshman
You finally got your acceptance letter to your dream school, congrats!! You’re leaving the high school life and everything is totally going to change. Trust me, it will. There are no longer those cliques you’re used to seeing during lunch period. Matter of fact, there’s no lunch period. The best part of college is you can choose what class to take and at what time you’d like to take it. After experiencing my first year in college, I can say I will definitely enjoy the rest of the three years I have left. The habits you had in high school have the go. They need to be left behind, abandoned because college is a rollercoaster. But this is not to scare you into thinking college is hard. It won’t be hard, you just have to grind and work hard. But what I am going to talk about are all the great moments you’re going to have.

The Hell of Adulthood and University
The truth about changing into adulthood is that it sucks. I’m 18 years old and I changed countries to pursue my education. I always thought that I wanted adulthood, I needed to get out of my parents’ house, I needed the freedom of adulthood.

Chasing the Dream: Musical Theatre
February 24. A large portion of my 2018 year goals/plans can soar or crumble based on my actions of that day, February 24. As the new year rolls around, I love seeing the messages of hope and encouragement. Seeing goals made and pursued. To see individuals mentally and physically decide that this year is a new start for them. There's some serious motivation there. When I dig deep down, I understand I need to make goals more often, for longer periods of time, yada yada yada. But my goal list could turn one way or another on February 24. No, it's not my birthday, nor is it an anniversary of anything I've done previously. February 24 is the date of my audition for the Musical Theatre Program at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. For those that don't know, I live in Farmington, NM, a small city in the Four Corners area where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah all meet. In reference to that date, I want to dedicate this post to the importance of chasing your dream. To chase you dream, you must research, act, and be willing to accept the results.

Theatre Family: The Ultimate Acceptance
The year was 2005 when I quit football (for the second time) at my high school. My once "brotherhood" quickly turned against me and said some pretty hateful things. To this day I still regret it and I didn't think I'd find anything else I was good at doing. I am a 6'2", 290lbs guy, and in high school I was 6'2" and weighed close to 275, so my size gave me a pretty good advantage at sports. Sports were what I felt like I should do. My first love was baseball, and while I was passionate about it, I just wasn't that great of a baseball player, and it took me a long time to accept that. Next came basketball, which I became my best at in comparison to my peers when I was in about the 5th grade, and then I just plateaued. Football was the next sport I tried, because I felt very much invited and encouraged and motivated from other football coaches to play (I mean, like I said before, I was the chubby kid in the corner).

Work Hard, Play Harder: The Top Party Schools in America
Before we get started, let's be perfectly clear: There is a huge difference between partying and violence. There is also a huge difference between partying and self-harm. College parties too often end with sexual assault and alcohol poisoning. That's not the kind of partying we're talking about here.
