Gold mine

After try to find new hobbies on campus or try to play some sports I used to play back home. It just wasn't the same no one around me played the same sports and the hobbies I thought of died off. The idea of fishing came up many times but were would I purchase everything and i had no transportation to get around to lakes or rivers. Until one day after class me and my girlfriend were walking on campus at CSU stanislaus right in front of the science building there is a pretty big pond where we saw a large mouth bass around 2lbs and 15 inchs long. Later that night I came back around 10:00pm and caught 3 bass all around 2-3lbs and 5lb catfish. which was very surprising the fact that I was using a drop shot which imitates a minnow in the water. As I caught more and more fish I was so surprised that there were so many giant fish in a pretty small pond. but It was literally made for me, I now have my favorite hobby 3 minutes away from me all day. And having it so close made it very easy, on our breaks during the day I teach my girlfriend how to cast because she knows how to fight the fish. so far in the pond we caught around 8 big bass 1 huge catfish and acouple bluegill. hopefully theres a monster bass and i can soon beat my personal best record of a 4 lbs bass!

Tunnel vision

After falling in to somewhat of depression and anxiety over school I realized that I was making myself feel that way. I was procrastinating and finding things to do besides my work and when It came to the last minute I was freaking out and was overwhelming myself. After listening to a song called tunnel vision by Kodak black, explaining this struggle and his time spent in prison when he should be working towards his goals in life. I thought to myself this is unacceptable I'm an adult now and if I keep my behavior up I would put myself In a huge hole. what I do in the next couple of years will either benefit or negatively affect my future. where I'm from you either went to college, got a job or started selling drugs and i definitely know what category I will one day succeed in. This doesn't mean i'm not going to have fun or go out, but manage my time and priorities. "my MAMA told me,"boy make a decision", right now I gotta keep a tunnel vision. Work now play later or else or you gonna have  fun now and try to catch up to where everyone else is at. The amount of freedom was really something a had to control because i really was never on my own. But as an adult and student I had to learn and change my way of living so that I can that myself in a few years, shout out KB for setting me back on my tracks down this tunnel
