Sea Me #1

    I am Morgan, though I am known to some of my friends as Mo. Once a beach bum, living on the calming breeze of the California coast, now a freshman at University of Montana. Coming in as a freshman, I thought it was normal not knowing what I would like to do for the rest of my life,but apparently not.. So many students here, like my 2 room mates, know exactly what they want to do, and have started on that road. I,like some I hope to say, do not know what to do yet. I took my general, with a few fun classes to make the year go by more enjoyably. I enjoy to sing, play a few instruments, attend some football games and even play some football. Each of us freshman bark on a new adventure as we all feel alone at times, missing our loved ones, being far from home. Its a new experience, and at first, I admit I was a bit nervous-Would I make new friends, or friends at all? Would I be able to handle the responsibility of being on my own, with no parents in my ear each morning and night?- I continue class each day, with my first week almost done, some new friends by my side, and a Saturday Griz football game to look forward too.

     Books. Who reads anymore? We have so much technology sitting in our laps, on our desks or in our hands that we ignore the real source of knowledge. I will say that I love Facebook and my cell phone, but every time I open a new page of a book, my mind races with imagination. We reads books, stories, and create worlds of our own. Each person hears something or reads it and pictures what they want to see through that story. I don't read very often, unless I am told to by a teacher, or I find that perfect book that I just can't put down. Theres always that "one" in each persons life that they will never forget. Whether its a story your mom told you when you were little, or one you read in high school, it sticks like glue to your mind. Some may have not reached their favorite book yet, but there are so many out there, the possibilities are endless. One book that I have always remembered was "Full Tilt", which I read at a book club in middle school. It was a perent/student book club, and they assigned one book a month that you and your parent had to read. My Mom and I read it together. At first, I hated it. I never wanted to read it, i figured it to be "uncool" to be reading a stupid book with your mom and then talk about it together. But once I started that book, I did not want to put it down. It made my mind create worlds and dimensions I never thought possible. I couldn't believe this one author could write such words, create such tension to make each moment so intense that I just could never put it down. I love adventure books, the type that make you wanting more, thirsty for each word,each letter the author printed on this thin,fragile paper. This is my first blog, so i will leave for now at this: keep a creative mind open for the simple possibilities of exiting the world you know to create one for yourself. -
