My collection

One thing that I have collected for a long time are holiday cards. These include birthday cards, Christmas cards, Valentine’s Day cards etc. 

What makes them special is that they came from my parents. Even when I would give them trouble as a kid, they would always make sure all holidays were nothing but special and memorable. I enjoy reading back on what they have to say as I have grown up throughout the years. 

Each message is written with so much love and it I feel that throwing their words away would be disrespectful, even though they probably don’t remember half of what they write. 

Each card holds a memory at some point in my life and I feel that looking back on them when I am a lot older will bring laughs and cheesy smiles.

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. For years I worked for a construction company that specialized in such repairs. Listed below are examples of how and why I can make this statement. I brought transferable skills and experience to this position including, being an outside sales cabinetry representative working with new construction builders, residential real estate repairs and sales, and management experience. Even with prior construction experience, the learning curve was steep and severe. The estimation program alone contained more than 10,000 line item options. 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 profitab...

Blog #2

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.

My Favorite Summer Memory

My Favorite Summer Memory By: Kaylee Ware   So far this summer, I’ve been incredibly busy with my summer classes, applying to internships, and working part-time, but I’ve also had more time to spend with my friends. This is my last summer being in college, so I'm trying to soak in as many good times and memories with them as I can. Although my summer schedule is pretty hectic, my friends and I still manage to find time to spend together. My favorite thing to do with my friends in San Marcos is to get coffee and talk or to float the river. We enjoy thrift shopping and hiking. We also spend a lot of time studying at the library and at the pool. I haven’t gotten to see my family much this summer, because they live 7 hours away in Texarkana, but I will get to see my mom next week, because she’ll be in Austin for work and she is also helping me move in to my last college apartment, so I look forward to that! After I finish my summer classes, I also get to see my ...
