My favorite thing I did during the first part of the summer was frequent the pool at my apartment complex and the local bubble tea shop, which is called “Teapioca”.


I chose these two locations as my favorite part because I was taking summer classes every day in May and June, just as I am right now. The pool and Teapioca were quiet, calm places that kept me sane during the times where I had nothing else to do after class and no friends to hang out with during this off-season time where no one is in town. a dip in the water or a refreshing beverage sure can do a lot for your mental health!


I can also count being in San Marcos in general as my favorite part of the summer. The vibe here during the summer, where no one is here except actual San Marcos residents and the handful of college students that regret enrolling in summer classes, is a very special kind of calm.

Blog Week #1: Kevin Schulte - Expertise Prompt

            “When it comes to residential insurance repair, I consider myself an authority.” I can confidently make this statement because I used to be a general contractor.

If I missed a line item on an estimate that was money lost, not only for myself but also for the company. In time, I mastered the minutia and complexities of creating and writing multipage, accurate and profitable estimates. Outside of the technical aspects of th

The most favorite thing I did the first part of summer was attending the Addison Square Park Fourth of July Festival with my family.  Though it may seem like just another holiday, this was the first family outing since I have been away at Texas State. It wouldn't be a family outing without a bit of bickering. My siblings and I argued, our parents argued, and we argued with our parents, but I still found myself smiling.  The food was great, the show was great, and the company was greater. We splurged on turkey legs, ice cream and just about any fried food combination you could think of.  The best part of the day was our last-minute decision to attend a 11 p.m. showing of the new Jurassic Park film. Now even though my mom is only 42 years old, she like to go to bed as early as 8 p.m. so for her to agree to this was a big deal. The night consisted of laughs and trips down memory lane. I felt like a kid again and throughout the day I was happy and carefree. Oh, and I c
