     So it's been been another semester already and I can't say that I did as well as I did last semester. :/ It kinda sucks but I did about the same as my semesters in Electrical Engineering.

    This semester has definitely been different compared to the others. Momentum was an exciting part of the semester where i was able to make great friends and just relax. Sometimes I would get really irritated about people and just the amount of effort that they would put in, but now that i think about it, it was all just for fun anyway. It's not like we were competing for anything.

    Even though I don't see my momentum family very often, i still enjoy their company and it's always great to catch up and see what they've been up to. I'm really going to miss the seniors. During momentum, i would think through my head how it would be better if we had a smaller group. But now i feel that we were just as close as the year before. Overall Momentum was a great experience and i would do it again if i could.

   
    Another thing that distinguished this semester from the rest was how many different friends i made. i dunno if i should say friends but i feel like i actually have people to talk to now whenever i go to ABSA or CSA. Now i don't have to bring around Brian just in case it gets boring. Even though i wish that i had better grades this semester, i feel that there's a balance between my grades and how much fun i had with friends. I know that it's not as good as what my parents want, but for the most part, I'm fine with it. I think life has gotten a lil better which is a good thing. Hopefully my college years will keep improving.

4.0 semester gpa ftw! :D

i wonder if i died tomorrow...would i have made a dent in someone's life...

For some reason I find myself enjoying Boys like Girls even though they're not really amazing or anything. just a run of the mill band...sounds like all the other pop punk rock bands...i dunno...*shrug* glad i bought my headphones during the summer though. wish i had them before...they actually help me de-stress. i recommend getting nice headphones to everybody...now this is just becoming really random. aite i'm out.

And it takes no time to fall in love

But it takes you years to know what love is

And it takes some fears to make you trust

It takes some tears to make it rust

It takes the dust to HAVE it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la

 Disclaimer: This is just my opinion on this whole “Nice guy” thing because lately I’ve seen/read things on this and i was really bored at work so i just started writing about it. This is not meant to offend anybody and is not directed to anybody unless you want it to be.

         So recently I’ve been seeing a lot of the nice guy complaints and theories about how nice guys finish last and why nice guys never get the girls. How many stories have you heard of a nice guy actually getting his dream girl or getting recognized for all the things he’s done for others? Probably once or never at all. So why am i going to talk about this? Just for kicks. Maybe it’ll change a person’s perspective or it’ll entertain someone for like 5 minutes, who knows.

         So let’s start with the good things about “nice guys”. Nice guys usually give this aura that say “Hi! *smile* I want to be your friend”. sounds a lil gay but most people find it welcoming and don’t mind. Many people go to nice guys with their problems or things that they just want to get off their chest. This gives the nice guys the credibility of being trustworthy and reliable. Most of the time, a nice guy will try their best to fulfill his friends needs without expecting anything in return. If somebody needs something in the middle of the night, probably the only one willing to get it will be the nice guy. If your laptop needs fixing, your car needs a tire to be replaced, or there’s a widdle puddy tat in the tree, the nice guy comes to the rescue.

         Girls are not afraid of nice guys. A nice guy won’t randomly say anything insensitive or talk behind people’s backs. And maybe 8 out of 10 (just randomly pulling something out of the air that makes sense to me) will say that they would like their boyfriend or future spouse to be nice/caring/kind or something along those lines. Nice guys must have it good then. Nobody hates them and nothing is really wrong with them except for the fact that they’re...nice.

         Hmm...This isn’t one of those posts where i rant on and on about how it sucks to be a nice guy and how there are so many people who take them for granted etc etc. I’m sure you could find those all over the internet and if you really wanted, i could talk to you more about it. But this is more of an analyzation of how come some nice guys do get the girls and to shut up the nice guys who just like to rant.

         First thing to change: stop sulking. Yes nice guys do get lonely. Yes we are at the bottom of or not even on the relationship ladder. But you know why? it’s because you let yourself get there. “But this is me” you say, “I’m just a nice guy.” haha grow up :P. you can change and well to be honest, nobody is just a nice guy. There are time when you feel like you’re doing something because that’s what you would normally do. You sulk but still do the nice things. Stop sulking and if you catch yourself doing those things just for the sake of being nice, don’t do it. I’m willing to bet that girls would prefer a guy who is genuine and does nice things occasionally than a guy who just does it to look like a nice guy.

         So ok, you’re still insisting that you’re a nice guy but “I don’t sulk! I truly am a nice guy and nobody notices me :( ”. I doubt nobody has noticed you. It is possible that you have been the nice guy for so long that everything you do now is a given. Usually when that happens, I think it’s ok to not be so nice and start doing nice things for yourself. If it gets to the point where everything you do is taken for granted, it probably means that you’re disregarding your own needs for the sake of serving or being nice to others. If you start caring for yourself and not doing everything that’s asked of you, then people will stop walking all over you and maybe your nice things will become noticed again.

         So after reading you might be thinking...yeah good points, but I’m just stuck in this spot. i’ve always been stuck here and have not found a way to get out. It’s not that I’m sulking and I’m not one of those crazy nice guys who does everything. Well I think you’re a little better off but the last thing is to stop labeling yourself as the nice guy. I think it definitely hinders your self confidence and the ability to get out of the “nice guy rut”. There shouldn’t even be a nice guy category. Just a guy who happens to be nice. Everyone is different and everyone goes through different situations so it’s really hard to pinpoint what might be the problem.

         It’s not that it’s bad to be a nice guy, it’s the fact that you’re digging yourself a hole. I suggest you to take a step out and show that you’re different from all the guys out there. I’m sure there are many other qualities other than “nice”. The thing is, if all you are to girls is a “nice guy” then you get extremely boring fast. it’s ok to be nice, but if you have someone you have in mind, tone the niceness down towards other girls and focus on just one. Go for the headshot and not spray n pray. I do agree that it’s hard for nice guys to get noticed, but it’s not an impossible feat but i think the best thing to do is speak up and let the girl know that you’re a nice guy...but if she’s willing, you could be even nicer to her :P
    

life's really weird sometimes...at times you feel so lonely and down in the dumps. and then later there's nothing really wrong and people actually talk to you now...what happened to the middle?

built my own lego headphone stand :P wishing i could get an amp with these but i'll probably have to wait.

Headphones

so after spending so much money on audio stuff this summer, i sold my grado ones and am selling my shure ones making me owning only one pair of earphones and headphones. i have yet to convince my mom to let me buy these custom built ones that look delicious but i guess i'll wait til i start earning my own munnies first.

i've been taking government online and it hasn't been too bad. i just have to go online every 2-3 days and post a few times on a discussion board to get points. and the test was the exact same thing as the practice test posted online. hopefully it's like that for every test but i'm kinda hesitant on just studying that so i might study a lil more this time to make sure i don't get caught off guard.

i also found a job but haven't started working there yet which is kinda weird because i only have about a month left to work before i go back to school. i put summer/seasonal work but maybe they didn't look into it and think that i'm gonna work during the fall semester. i'm not too sure if i'll do that though but if i were to just do a few night a month i guess i can do that. i'll be a valet boy at the domain which will be cool and the pay isn't bad either. not sure if i should just quit after august though...i guess it depends on if i like the job or not.
