BAM Fashion Show

United Black Student's Black Awareness Month has been a success so far!!! Last Friday was our annual fashion show "Footprints on the Run." Even though we had a few technical difficulties at first, I have been getting nothing but positive feedback.








The success of the Black Awareness Month events remind me why I like being involved so much. Student leadership is not easy, not always fun, and definitely guaranteed to drain you of a lot of your energy and time, however seeing your programs implemented successfully makes it all worth it in the end:)

Committed to U

Its that time again... Student Government Elections.

As a freshman last year, I watched as my mentor and a few people I looked up to ran for Student Government. It was exciting for me to see them win, as I was super involved in high-school and knew how important student leadership and making a difference on campus.

This semester, I have been given the great opportunity to get involved with Student Government by helping my friends on their ticket "Committed to U." I am somewhat nervous, because I do not know what to expect. However, this could be my foot in the door for involvement with SG.



Some of our platform includes extended hours in the dining hall, a Zip-car service (cheap on-campus rental car service for students 18+), and additional commuter parking. Hopefully all of these can be implemented before the end of next school year. I have faith that it will work out because my team is amazing, and we are all "Committed to U!!!" :)



Ill keep you posted...get it??- lame joke I know :)

Get It Together!

Okay, so over this past weekend I have realized a few things, I need to get my life together. lol. It sounds funny, but it is so true.
I have realized that:
1. I have been having a lot of fun, but I need to study more from now so it doesn't pile up on me later. Last semester was the most successful one for me. I had the highest GPA of my college career and got the most out of my student involvement. Although, I have been semi-focused, I need to make sure that I uphold my scholastics, the sole reason I am here at UM for.
2. I need to be more consistent with my blog. I agreed to blog for the University to help give future students a better understanding of a regular student's college life. Even though I have been super-busy, I see that I need to make a point to write more frequently than I have been. This blogs helps you learn more about me, while allowing me to realize what areas I need improving on.
More life changing thoughts to come :)....
